Methods

RedrawAfter<TWidget>(TWidget, int)

Requests a redraw of this widget after the specified delay in milliseconds.

Parameters:

• widget (<TWidget>): The widget to redraw.
• milliseconds (Int32): The delay in milliseconds before redrawing. Clamped to minimum of 16ms (60 FPS cap).

Returns: <TWidget>

The widget with the redraw delay set.

public static TWidget RedrawAfter<TWidget>(this TWidget widget, int milliseconds) where TWidget : Hex1bWidget

RedrawAfter<TWidget>(TWidget, TimeSpan)

Requests a redraw of this widget after the specified delay.

Parameters:

• widget (<TWidget>): The widget to redraw.
• delay (TimeSpan): The delay before redrawing. Clamped to minimum of 16ms (60 FPS cap).

Returns: <TWidget>

The widget with the redraw delay set.

public static TWidget RedrawAfter<TWidget>(this TWidget widget, TimeSpan delay) where TWidget : Hex1bWidget

Remarks

These methods enable widgets to request periodic redraws for animations. Timers are one-shot - for continuous animation, call one of the RedrawAfter methods on each widget tree build.

Examples

// Animate at ~20 FPS
ctx.Surface(s => [...])
    .RedrawAfter(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50))

// Or using milliseconds shorthand
ctx.Surface(s => [...])
    .RedrawAfter(50)
