What is the Edit/Calibrate Graphics menu item and what can it do for me?
There are many ways to use Java to draw to the screen, and some ofthem are faster than others. We’ve included three different schemes in StarLogo because unfortunately, there’s no ‘fastest’ drawing scheme for all computers. Calibrate Graphics tests each of the drawing schemes with various numbers of turtles to find out which one runs fastest on your computer. It then saves this information so it can be used for each StarLogo session on that computer. You’ll only need to run this once when you put StarLogo on a new computer, and then the graphics will run as fast as possible. If you don’t run Calibrate Graphics, StarLogo will make a guess at which drawing scheme should work best (based on what works best here at MIT) which should give you decent performance.
