Hi Kevin,
tksurfer is great, but I need your advice about something bugging me --- maybe you experience it also.
I am trying to run a script that flips views and saves out tiff files. I want to do this with a large window, so I have the following near the start of the tcl script:
move_window 0 0 resize_window 1000 redraw update UpdateAndRedraw
Whenever I call this script for tksurfer, whether using the -tcl option or through tools->Run Script or by source at the tcl command prompt, it runs all the commands in the script after these commands before actually updating the screen position and size. This is despite the 'update' commands. This means that when the commands to rotate the view and save out graphics are actually executed, the window is not the right size.
This a real puzzle that bugs me and I can't debug it. I don't fully understand the process model at work here. I can't tell whether this is a tcl, opengl, gnome or kernel scheduling issue (but I think it works in that order).
Is this common to all systems or have I got a quirk? I'm running Debian stable (mostly), with nvidia kernel module in a 2.6.8 kernel.
Best, Darren
