Hi, how do I batch the creation of objects? At the moment I am just using flowchart CreateBox, CreateArrow etc and then changing a bunch of properties, but every single one triggers a redraw so the whole thing flickers for ages before it completes. You get to see the default boxes before they change to the correct type and everything. I just want to turn off the redrawing until the initialization is complete

Sorry for the late reply. I am using Smalltalk.

Both versions of Smalltalk I use must be running the message pump when you are single stepping code (or just executing lines from a workspace). In these cases, real time updates are ideal. Upon further investigation, when it comes to running a full program, one version does operate as you'd expect with no flickering. In the other that I'm having to use for this project, I have to effectively turn off the message pump for the purposes of the flowchart setup code and then it works fine. Its possible some other dynamic languages might be affected in the same way. Many Thanks
