Setting a fixed order of paintings

[stefanronn]

In some cases, we would like to have a predictable order of which paintings are used for the video processing, in order to compare different backends side by side (local edge vs cloud, for example). There is a setting in the config.py file to set the initial painting, but it does not seem to work. Any ideas of how to make the painting order predictable?

If you disable the automatic iteration in settings, you can select a specific style with a pull down menu and it will stay at that style, which makes it easier to do side-by-side comparisons.

Thanks. Will try that.

The config.py file (used for Ubuntu client, not Android) looks like this: PORT = 9099 STYLE_DISPLAY_INTERVAL = 300 # Number of frames CAM_FPS = 15 IMG_WIDTH = 640 IMG_HEIGHT = 480 START_STYLE_STRING = "udnie" SOURCE_NAME = "openrtist"

I suppose the STYLE_DISPLAY_INTERVAL could be set to some very large number, so the style does not change, but we still have the case where START_STYLE_STRING does not seem to fix the initial style used, so our 2 demo screens starts with different painting / styles. The "automatic iteration" setting seems to be for the Android client version.
