We can remove the necessity for the consumer to call render() after updating public props. This way the lib can decide what type of update is needed.

Outline

Whenever a prop is changed, we queue the change.
Every tick, the queue is read and processed and emptied.

Update types

• scene changes can be done immediately w/o requiring the model to be rerendered. Examples:

  • build volume changes
  • clipping planes
  • ? toggling groups on and off ?

• incremental parsing

  • a new chunk of gcode is parsed and translated into a geometry
  • only the new chunk is added to the scene

• full render of the model

  • the model is removed from the scene
  • the parsed gcode is rendered anew and added to the scene
  • example: extrusion width was changed
