Synopsis

OOF.Settings.Mesh_Defaults.Data_Cache_Type(cachetype)

Details

  • Parent Menu: OOF.Settings.Mesh_Defaults
  • Callback: function _dummy in module ooflib.engine.IO.meshmenu

  • Parameters:

    cachetype
    Type of cache to use for time step data. Type: An object from the CacheType enumerated class.

Description

Change the default CacheType used to store time step data for new Meshes. If cachetype is Memory, the data will be stored in RAM. If it's Disk, the data will be stored in temporary files on disk. Storage in RAM is usually faster, but more data can usually be stored on disk.

This command only affects new Meshes. To change the cache type for an existing Mesh, use OOF.Mesh.Modify with modifier=SetMeshDataCacheType.

In the GUI, this command is invoked from the Settings menu in the main OOF2 window's menubar.
