[CSC 315] Slowing Down Plotting

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Some of you have asked me about slowing down the speed at which you plot 
things (like you circle) so you can see if it is being drawn properly.  
For things like this you could easily use the sleep function from the 
<unistd.h> C header file.  The problem is that this function takes an 
integer argument in seconds -- that is generally WAY TOO SLOW.   I 
recommend using the microsleep function (usleep) from the same header 
file.  It takes an argument in microseconds.  So usleep(100000) should  
click off every 10th of a second.  You can easily tailor that to your 
liking.
