Bitmaps for previews and a cache are used to speed up the display (painting) of the slide sorter. But, of course, we have to limit this time-space-tradeoff by limiting the amount of space that can be use to store bitmaps.

There are several strategies employed by this class to shorten the perceived time that is used to paint the slide sorter:

  • Rendering pages ahead of time. Additionally to rendering the visible slides we try to render part or all of the slides that are not (yet) visible. This, of course, makes sense only when the computer is ohterwise idle while doing that.
  • When the size of the slides on the screen changes we mark the bitmaps as needing an update but use them while the new bitmap in the correct size is not available.
  • Give the UI the chance to handle user events between the rendering of differe slides.
  • Limit the amount of space that may be used for storing preview bitmaps and throw.
  • There is another somewhat similar methods for requesting new previews: GetPreviewBitmap() schedules a re-rendering (when necessary) and returns the preview what is currently available, either as a preview of the preview or, when nothing has changed since the last call, as the final thing.
