Definition
Dump modes are used to define the type of dump, needed to be applied to the screen, by assigning them to the global variable dump_type. This influences when and if graphics of processes are drawn to the screen.
List
| Constant | - Value | - Description |
| PARTIAL_DUMP | - 0 | - Only graphics of updated (changed) processes will be drawn (default). |
| COMPLETE_DUMP | - 1 | - Graphics of all processes will be drawn, whether they've changed or not. |
Notes
These two modes are useful in different situations. PARTIAL_DUMP is useful if there is relatively not much changing to processes and when there are a lot of processes that don't need updating. COMPLETE_DUMP is useful if most processes need updating. Be certain restore_type is compatible with the dump_type set, because some combinations can cause probably unwanted effects.
