  Feature conflict The following approach won't work as expected when MinimumFrameRate is enabled. By default Eyeshot has design.AccurateTransparency property set to false. This allows rendering transparent entities without the preprocessing step (design.ProcessSemiTransparent()) required by the AccurateTransparency algorithm (that can take some time…

The main performance feature of Eyeshot is the Minimum Frame Rate. It basically skips small objects during dynamic movements trying to maintain the target frame rate. The following settings affect the number of drawn objects when the Minimum Frame Rate is enabled, and affect the FPS when disabled. Before playing with these settings, please turn on the current…

When using DirectX, Eyeshot tries to get the best adapter for rendering but some laptops with dual graphics cards don't allow to do this throwing an exception during their initialization.That's because, on those machines, the best adapter (NVidia or AMD) is not a true discrete GPU - it is a co-processor for the Intel GPU, and all video data, even if rendered by those adapt…

  How it works Simplifies the geometry during Zoom/Pan/Rotate removing small objects trying to maintain the target frame rate. Once the dynamic movement is completed the progressive drawing kicks in to avoid blocking the UI. It can be deactivated using the Design.MinimumFrameRate property set to zero.   Recommended values Between 10 and 20. Zero to deactivate. Th…
