The unofficial MLPov provides an option (.ini option, afair) for
pixel-by-pixel display.  It slows down renderding of fast scenes*,
but it is helpful for optimizing big scenes.

* : I guess that the image display is pretty unoptimised, but it isn't
meant to be fast anyway.

All in all, it would be nice to have an option to display pixels
every N pixels in official version, just like it used to be under
MS-DOS (even if it defaults to full line).

Fabien.

The preview display really is the responsibility of the platform specific
frontened, this is the way it currently is and it is also they way it should
be.

It's better NOT to be alone, because otherwise you would never stop watch
the screen!

Anyone experience defragmentation trance?

yes, in the windows version, you can put an option Lines=0 in the
[RenderWindow] section of pvengine.ini
but it's really a quick hack don't use it :-/

You bet! I used to watch "the caterpillars crawling" when I had a 40MB
with Stacker and used sdefrag on it. Fun, really. Modern defragging is
sooooo boring!
