Its not a beginner mistake, its a visualizer that ranges most of the plugin screen.
@matt If I use setOpaque(true) it works for perf. but the render output becomes a mess.
@ZioGuido I’m using as you say a timer inside the component, maybe I have to reduce the rate…
@ImJimmi I can’t see the Direct2D renderer option, maybe I have to switch branch?
Thanks for the tips.
So there’s a number of things here, first if you’re filling a lot of rectangles to fill a visualizer I’d recommend fillRectList which i believe is more efficient.
Secondly id move the visualizer to its own component and then run the timer/refresh there, to help isolate the issue (generally juat a better system anway since then you can reuse this in the future easier), but using vblankattachment means you can do the processing based on the refresh rate of the display, which is typically smoother, however you may want to experiment to ensure at high refresh rates it’s not too much work.
