Increase level of detail dynamically when the GUI is idle
Description
When zooming in/out it is helpful with a low level of detail to speed up the GUI.
However, when the GUI is idle, it would be nice if the design rendered higher level of detail in the background.
Example:
- unzip https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lcqYhsNwozFox4IzPegbkxAW9Kk4V4Lq/view?usp=sharing
- See top level view, all black (good, because panning zooming at top level is fast):
- zoom in, see more detail:
- It would be nice if, after a while, the top level rendered more detail.
Suggested Solution
Quick zoom/pan hither and dither, then stop moving and wait for higher level of detail. The rendering of higher level of detail should be aborted upon further panning/zooming.
