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.
