Can I get a FPS in vncviewer?

[pdg...@gmail.com]

These days, I using tiger vnc.

By the way, I want to know a FPS in many situations.

For example, playing movie, conversion computer screen and moving mouse.

Can I get a FPS in tigerVNC viewer?

Have function for showing fps in tigervnc viewer?

Or When can i modify any part?

VNC doesn't really have a concept of frames. The RFB protocol sends
"framebuffer updates", which can encompass anywhere from 1 pixel to the
entire screen, so the best that the VNC viewer could do is measure
pixels/second or updates/second or, from the network's point of view,
bits/second. In some cases, such as playing a movie, updates/second
might correspond to frames/second, but there is no way for the viewer to
know that. If you are trying to measure video playback, then you might
be able to use TCBench, which is a program provided in the VirtualGL
source tree. It latches onto an existing window and monitors a small
region of pixels (by default in the center of the window, but this is
configurable) and reports how often those pixels change. That can give
you a rough estimate of frame rate, as seen by the viewer.

I've been thinking about adding some debug output to the viewer, e.g.
an FPS counter and bandwidth and latency measurements. Could possibly
even render a crude graph of it on top of the display.

Nothing is in place right now though, and I'm not sure how best to do
it. You'll have to experiment.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Adding an updates/sec counter is straightforward. In the FLTK viewer,
it would probably be sufficient to just print the statistics on the
command line if a certain parameter or environment variable is set.
Attaching a screenshot of the statistics that we use in TurboVNC. This
shows an application running in VirtualGL, so in that case, fps and
updates/sec are strongly correlated (but in the general case, they
aren't.) NOTE: the blit Mpixels/sec and time/update numbers are bogus,
because of the asynchronous nature of Java 2D.

The dialog updates every 5 seconds, so the values are either cumulative
or averages for that 5-second period.
