refresh([currentView=boolean], [force=boolean], [suspend=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
refresh is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
This command is used to force a redraw during script execution.
Normally, redraw is suspended while scripts are executing but
sometimes it is useful to show intermediate results for purposes
such as capturing images from the screen. If the -cv flag is
specified, then only the current active view is redrawn.

Suspends or resumes Maya's handling of refresh events. Specify
"on" to suspend refreshing, and "off" to resume refreshing. Note
that resuming refresh does not itself cause a refresh -- the next
natural refresh event in Maya after "refresh -suspend off" is
issued will cause the refresh to occur. Use this flag with caution:
although it provides opportunities to enhance performance, much of
Maya's dependency graph evaluation in interactive mode is refresh
driven, thus use of this flag may lead to slight solve differences
when you have a complex dependency graph with interrelations. |
