Buffer DataSet instead of reading frames from disk on demand
Images (notionally Eigen::MatrixXi
objects) are not stored in memory rather than read from disk on-demand. This makes the GUI a little smoother.
Note that the data is only buffered when specifically requested by the GUI, so no buffering is done by default for scripted calculations. The buffering is controlled by DataComboBox
, which is the only mechanism for switching between DataSet
s in an experiment. It ensures that only one DataSet
is buffered at a time.
By default, all images in a DataSet
are buffered, but I have implemented it in such a way that in future, it may be possible to buffer fewer frames.
