Third of the three changes in #1750: the settled frame of a flat map is drawn off the UI thread. Independent of #1769 and #1774 (based on main).

Root cause

crates/ui-egui/src/mapview.rs shows the last frame shifted and scaled during a pan or zoom, but once the motion stops (0.18 s) it draws the exact frame synchronously with render::render, so the window freezes for the whole render. Scroll-wheel zooming stops and starts, so it hits that freeze again and again. Globe, tilted and tiled flat maps already compose their exact frame on a worker (tilt_settle); a plain flat map didn't.

Fix

  • A flat, north-up map without tile layers whose frame on screen differs from the one wanted only by its camera (same revision, size and sources) now settles through tilt_settle, like the tiled flat map: the last frame, shifted and scaled, stays on screen with no preview, and the new frame is swapped in when it lands. A mouse pan or wheel zoom changes only the camera. A change to the map itself (any command, including camera commands, since every command bumps the session revision; an edit; a layer shown) is still drawn at once, as before, so it shows without waiting.
  • Cancellable: render::cancel holds a per-thread stop flag the worker installs. The renderer reads it between layers and every 2048 features of a layer (render_frame), and a stopped pass comes back as None from render_any. TiltSettle::cancel sets it; a stopped frame comes back with cancelled set, isn't taken for one that couldn't be drawn (so its key can be drawn again), and frees the worker. When the map moves again while a frame is drawn, the map view stops it, so the worker is free for the frame of where the map comes to rest.
  • The browser has one thread: tilt_settle draws the frame inline there, as before, and the new path is compiled out of the decision (cfg!(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))).
  • How the map view and the session share the map while a render runs: the worker draws a clone of the Map (its features and caches are shared, so the clone costs pointers), and the caches the worker filled are adopted when it lands (adopt_caches), as for the tiled flat map.

Measured

The real map view (egui_kittest harness, release build) with the World Atlas sample plus the 1:10m countries (548k vertices) as a layer, 1480×900, panning 120 px five times and timing every UI frame until the exact frame is shown:

Longest UI frame Exact frame shown after
Before (drawn on the UI thread) 30 to 51 ms 30 to 51 ms
This PR (drawn on the worker) 0.6 to 2.3 ms 37 to 52 ms

The exact frame arrives about as soon, and the window no longer stops for it. With a heavier layer the freeze before grows with the data; the UI frame here doesn't.

Tests

  • mapview::tests::a_flat_maps_settled_frame_is_drawn_off_the_ui_thread: in the real map view, a pan come to rest starts the worker and keeps the last frame on screen (no preview); moving again stops the job; once the map rests the exact frame for where it is arrives. It fails on main ("the pan's frame is drawn on the worker").
  • tilt_settle::tests::a_stopped_frame_comes_back_cancelled_and_can_be_drawn_again.
  • cancel::tests: the flag stops frames on its own thread only while installed; a render with it set is None, without it a frame.
  • The whole rustgis-ui-egui suite passes (821 tests), including the tiled-map and settle tests.

No visible change, so no screenshots: the frame drawn is the same, only the thread it's drawn on differs.

Part of #1750.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • On supported desktop maps, flat, north-up views without tile layers can render in the background after a pan or zoom while the previous frame remains visible.
  • Improvements
    • Further movement cancels background rendering that is no longer needed. Cancelled or partial frames are not treated as rendering failures, so the current view can be rendered again.
    • Rendering can stop early when a frame is cancelled, including during large or streamed map layers. Changes to map content continue to render immediately.

After a pan or zoom the map view showed the last frame shifted and
scaled, then, once the motion stopped, drew the exact frame on the UI
thread: the window froze for the whole render (30-50 ms with the 1:10m
countries, far longer for a detailed layer), and scroll zooming, which
stops and starts, hit that again and again.

A flat, north-up map whose frame differs from the one on screen only
by its camera now goes through the worker the globe, tilted and tiled
maps use (tilt_settle). The last frame stays on screen meanwhile (no
preview), and the new one is swapped in when it lands. A change to the
map itself (a command, an edit, a layer shown) is still drawn at once,
and the browser, with one thread, draws it inline as before.

A frame that goes out of date while it is drawn is stopped: the worker
installs a flag (render::cancel) the renderer reads between layers and
every 2048 features of a layer, and a stopped frame comes back as
cancelled, not as one that couldn't be drawn, so its key is drawn
again. Moving the map again stops the job, freeing the worker for the
frame of where the map comes to rest.

Part of #1750.

Walkthrough

The render crate adds cooperative frame cancellation. Native settled rendering can cancel worker draws and retry cancelled frames. Eligible flat, north-up maps without tile layers retain the prior frame while an exact frame is drawn asynchronously.

Changes: Cancellable settled rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Renderer cancellation checks
crates/render/src/cancel.rs, crates/render/src/lib.rs, crates/render/src/stream_tests.rs
The renderer exposes a thread-local cancellation flag. It checks between layers, before streamed chunks, and periodically during feature traversal. Cancellation returns no frame without recording cancellation as a source error. Tests cover flag scope, rendering cancellation, and streamed rendering.
Worker cancellation and retry
crates/ui-egui/src/tilt_settle.rs
Native settled-frame jobs pass a shared stop flag to rendering. Cancelled results are distinguished from failures, and their keys can be started again. WebAssembly continues to draw synchronously.
Flat-map settling integration
crates/ui-egui/src/mapview.rs
Eligible native flat maps draw exact frames on a worker while retaining the prior frame. Active work is cancelled when settling ends, and preview rendering is suppressed while the worker is busy.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review e02ee

Panning a flat map renders the exact frame on a worker. In several cases, a cancelled or obsolete worker keeps running and delays the next frame. This affects large layers, streamed sources and navigator-button navigation. It is a responsiveness regression risk rather than a correctness failure. Resolve it before merge, or accept it knowingly.

Code review

The PR moves a flat map's settled frame onto the worker thread and adds a cooperative stop flag, so a frame that goes stale stops early. The design is sound and the UI-thread path is correctly gated off for wasm. The main gap is that the stop check doesn't reach streamed layers, which is the case the change most needs to cover.

Bugs

  • Streamed layers ignore Cancel (medium, ~85%): draw_chunk runs once per chunk and row is chunk-local, so the every-2048-rows check never fires at row 0. A stopped frame on a file-backed layer still reads the whole source and draws the first 2048 features of each chunk. The worker stays busy, and start_with refuses new frames while busy. Inline comment on crates/render/src/lib.rs:4180.

Performance

  • Stopped frames still place labels (low-medium, ~80%): the layer-loop check breaks out, but tile labels and place_labels_with_previews still run to completion. Suggested fix: if cancel::requested() { return None; } before the placement call (around line 4897, outside this diff). Inline comment on crates/render/src/lib.rs:3785.

Quality

  • requested() uses FLAG.with (low, ~60%): it can panic during thread-local teardown, while Drop uses try_with. Inline comment with a suggestion on crates/render/src/cancel.rs:36.
  • Tests don't prove early exit: a_stopped_frame_is_no_frame and a_stopped_frame_comes_back_cancelled_and_can_be_drawn_again both pass with the flag already set, so they only exercise the render_any gate. Nothing checks that the in-loop checks stop work early, and nothing covers a streamed layer or label placement. A test that stops mid-layer, or counts features drawn, would catch the gaps above.
  • Helper threads don't see the flag: each_chunk in crates/render/src/raster.rs:722 spawns scoped threads, and the thread-local flag is invisible there. No check runs there today, but the module doc says "on its thread", so this limit should be stated.
  • Nits, for the release quality pass: the doc comment on TiltSettle::cancel (tilt_settle.rs:104-105) says "every few thousand features", which overstates the check. The header comment at tilt_settle.rs:4 is one overlong line.

AGENTS.md

  • The "Never hold the window" rule asks that long loops look at Cancel between items. The streamed chunk loop doesn't, which is the first finding above.
  • Otherwise compliant: no unwrap/expect in non-test code, no unsafe, the wasm path is compiled out of the new decision, and no new strings or dependencies.

Keep pending reads on the owning map

If a streamed read finishes after the flat-settle clone is made, the worker can consume its result. The owner then waits on an empty pending slot and cannot read a new window until the source resets. Selection can therefore use stale rows.

A stopped frame now reads no further chunk of a streamed layer (the
stop isn't taken for a source error), draws no more of a layer, and
returns before its tiles, labels and effects. The flag check can't
panic in thread teardown. The map view falls back to a preview when
the worker couldn't draw a flat frame, not only while it is busy.

Code review

Bugs: No confirmed bugs. I read the stop path end to end: render_any, render_frame's layer loop, the streamed-chunk closure and draw_chunk, and the TiltSettle take/cancel/adopt flow in mapview.rs. The stop flag is per-job and per-thread, and a stopped frame never sets failed. The five earlier threads are all resolved and addressed in dd9790a, so I did not re-raise them.

  • Limitation: I could not compile or run the tests (no shell here), so compile and test status is unverified. Two lines in mapview.rs (around 957) are close to the 140-column rustfmt limit, and I could not check them.

Security: None found.

Performance:

  • A stopped frame still holds the worker until it reaches its next check, and start_with refuses new jobs while busy. The doc comment admits a long step runs to its end. A first-time projection of a heavy layer can therefore delay the exact frame of the resting map by seconds after a stop. Low severity, about 35% confidence. The benchmark in the PR body mostly hits warm caches, so it may not show this.

Quality:

  • tilt_settle.rs:69: cancelled is read from the flag after render, so a fully drawn frame can carry cancelled = true. Posted as an inline comment with a one-line suggestion. Low, about 40%.
  • cancel.rs:31: install uses FLAG.with, while requested and Drop use try_with. install is unlikely to run during thread teardown, but the inconsistency sits against the never-crash rule. Low, about 25%.
  • mapview.rs test a_flat_maps_settled_frame_is_drawn_off_the_ui_thread: it waits for busy() to clear after "moving again", but never checks that the job was actually stopped. It would pass if the stale frame simply finished. About 50%.
  • Nit: the tilt_settle.rs module doc has an overlong line and an awkward wrap near TiltSettle::cancel. These are quality-pass items under AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md: No violations in the changed code. There are no unwrap, expect, panic or unsafe calls in non-test code. The wasm path is gated, and the browser never gets the worker path. Frames go through the existing tilt_settle background path, and the cancel points are documented. The new tests cover both the stop and the no-stop case.

Prior concerns left alone: 5 (all resolved and addressed in dd9790a).

Code review

Bugs

  • A flat map whose worker can't start (spawn failure) or panics never gets its exact frame. The synchronous UI-thread draw is now skipped while settling, so only the low-resolution preview shows until the camera moves. Posted inline at mapview.rs:1051. Confidence ~50%.

Performance

  • The cancel in the !settling branch applies to tilted frames too, not only flat ones. render_tilted keeps drawing the remaining bands after a stopped one (render/src/lib.rs:2380-2381), so a stopped tilted frame holds the worker for a full frame. This contradicts the author's earlier reply that the tilted path is off this route. Output stays correct. Posted inline at mapview.rs:967. Confidence ~70%.

Quality (nits, grouped here rather than posted inline)

  • cancel::install should be #[must_use]. A caller that drops the guard without binding it silently installs nothing.
  • #[cfg(test)] cancel::DRAWN.set(...) sits inside the hot feature loop of render_frame. Test instrumentation in production code is noisy.
  • tilt_settle.rs module doc line 4 is an overlong, badly reflowed line. The cancel doc hard-codes "2048" instead of referring to EVERY.
  • mapview.rs comment near line 950 says the browser "draws it at once" on the flat path, but flat_settle is false on wasm and that path is unchanged.

Security

  • None found.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations found. Cancellation is covered by the new tests, the wasm build is guarded by cfg!, and no new background command was added. The long_commands_stop_when_cancelled_while_they_run list is unaffected.

Prior reviews

  • Six earlier threads are already on the PR. Five are answered and fixed or applied, so I left them alone. The feature-loop label work from the third thread is still open, but that code is unchanged, so I did not repost it. Only its tilted-path point is re-raised above, because the reply's premise no longer holds.

I did not run the tests. Verification was by reading the diff and the surrounding code.

… frame on the UI thread (#1750)

A stopped tilted frame (CPU or GPU) now returns before its next band,
its drape and warp, and before the GPU path's CPU fallback. A flat
frame the worker couldn't draw (a refused thread, a panic) is drawn on
the UI thread as before instead of leaving the preview.

Code review

I read the full diff, the base-branch AGENTS.md, and the surrounding code in render/src/lib.rs, ui-egui/src/mapview.rs and tilt_settle.rs. I did not compile or run the tests, since this environment has no shell.

Prior threads: 8 earlier review threads cover this PR. I left 7 alone because the author fixed them in dd9790ae or 51b61fc3 and the code still matches the fix. The eighth is the in-chunk break at lib.rs:4198 that CodeRabbit flagged as still doing label work after the stop. That break is unchanged and has no author answer, so I did not repost it. The new points below are different.

Bugs

  • None confirmed. I checked the render_frame return paths, the DataError::Cancelled variant, the Map/Layer clone cost (features and projected caches are Arc-shared), the take/cancel ordering in mapview.rs, and the failed fallback. They look correct.

Security

  • None found.

Performance

  • render/src/lib.rs:2360, tilted frame stopped on its last band still drapes and warps (~85%). The stop check runs only before each band. If the final band returns None from a stop, render_tilted falls through to continue, then runs drape_terrain and the warp before render_any discards the frame. A check after the loop, next to map.label_lock = lock;, would fix it. Inline comment posted.
  • render/src/lib.rs:4198, cancel latency is bounded by feature count, not work (~55%). The stop is looked at only every 2048 rows. A layer with fewer features, such as the 548k-vertex countries layer in the PR's measurement, runs to completion before the worker is free, and the next frame waits behind it. Counting vertices as well would fix it, or the docs should say heavy layers are not interruptible. Inline comment posted.

Quality

  • tilt_settle.rs header: the new paragraph has one line far longer than the rest, and the wrap is uneven. Grouped nit, left for the release quality pass.
  • cancel.rs and TiltSettle::cancel both say "every 2048 features". If the vertex-budget change above is taken, these docs need to change with it.

AGENTS.md

  • No unwrap, expect, panic! or unsafe in non-test code. The panic in the test at tilt_settle.rs is test-only.
  • Long work is off the UI thread, and a thread the OS refuses falls back to the UI thread, as the guidelines require.
  • Cancel is looked at between layers, chunks and features, and the doc comments state the limits.
  • The wasm32 path is handled with cfg! and try_with.
  • Nothing here adds a new background command, so the long_commands_stop_when_cancelled_while_they_run lists need no change.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Cancel a worker when a new camera key arrives.

The navigator buttons change the camera without updating last_interaction (Lines 4029–4042). If a flat frame is still rendering when the user clicks again, settling remains true, so this cancellation path is skipped. The obsolete frame must finish before the worker can draw the latest camera.

Cancel the active flat job when its camera key no longer matches the requested key.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Skip the CPU fallback after cancellation.

When gpu_turned returns None because it was cancelled, these callers still enter render_tilted. Before its first cancellation check, that function can synchronize the sources again and allocate the canvas and terrain state. This delays the next frame behind work for the cancelled frame.

Check the stop flag before entering the CPU fallback. Keep the fallback for ordinary GPU failures.

Based on learnings: preserve the next fallback stage for failures that are not terminal.

…'s last band (#1750)

A layer of a few heavy features (a detailed coastline) now stops every
65,536 vertices as well as every 2048 features; a tilted frame stopped
during its last band skips its drape and warp; a flat worker the system
refuses asks for the frame that draws it on the UI thread.

Code review

I checked the full diff (5 files, +415/−21) against the base branch and the prior threads. The cancel plumbing is sound: cancel::requested() is installed only on the worker, the Installed guard restores the previous flag, render_tilted restores label_lock on every stop path, and the failed-key fallback reaches the synchronous UI-thread draw. I also checked that adopting a cancelled frame's caches is safe, since the feature-loop break only affects drawing and the caches are built before the loop. I posted two inline comments, both on lines in the diff.

Bugs

  • None confirmed.

Security

  • None found.

Performance

  • Stopped chunks still run the label pass. The feature-loop break (lib.rs:4205) falls into the chunk's label section (about lib.rs:4410), which has no cancel check, so the worker stays busy after a stop. Re-raised because the code changed and the earlier thread's concern is still present; the reply didn't address it. Medium, ~65% confidence. Posted inline.
  • gpu_turned has no check after its band loop (about lib.rs:2714), unlike render_tilted. A stop that lands after the last band still runs label placement and extrusion. New. Low-medium, ~50%. Posted inline.

Quality (left for the release quality pass)

  • The doc comment at tilt_settle.rs:487 is 147 columns, over the max_width = 140 in rustfmt.toml. It is a comment, so cargo fmt won't flag it, but the wrap is also ragged in the TiltSettle::cancel doc around lines 561–566.
  • The feature-loop condition (lib.rs:4204) mixes && and || without parentheses. Parenthesising it would make the intent clearer.
  • The mapview test asserts busy() right after one h.step(). That is a timing assumption, so it could be flaky if the worker finishes fast. Low confidence.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations found. There are no unwrap/expect/panic calls in non-test code, try_with is used for thread-local access, the new cancel points are documented, and the two test files exercise the paths. Layering and the wasm gating (cfg!(not(target_arch = "wasm32"))) look correct.

Prior reviews: 11 threads on this PR. I left 10 alone because they are resolved and the code they point at is fixed. I re-raised one (the label pass after the feature-loop break), which is still open.

Stop complete-source prepasses between chunks.

The new check at Line 4814 covers the drawing visitor, but not the thinning prepass at Lines 3893–3914 or mask traversal at Lines 5090–5099. If cancellation occurs during either pass, visit_complete continues reading and processing the whole source before the worker can stop. Add cancellation to these traversals and avoid recording cancellation as a source error.

Cancel the worker before invalidation.

If invalidation occurs during a render, the old worker continues without a receiver. Repeated invalidations can leave renders competing for resources.

Code review

I found no confirmed bugs. I checked the cancel flag on every render path (flat, tilted, GPU-tilted, streamed chunks, labels and tile passes), the TiltSettle job lifecycle, and the flat-settle decision in main_view. The stop flag is installed and removed only on the worker thread, and every stopped path returns None, restores label_lock, and avoids recording a source error.

Bugs: none found.

Security: none found. The change adds no input parsing, no unsafe code, and no new unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code.

Performance: nothing new. The earlier stop-latency and last-band concerns were addressed in the author's fixes. A cancelled frame's remaining non-looped work (projection, first-time thinning, a single heavy feature's path) still runs to its end, as the cancel module doc says.

Quality (minor, grouped; not posted inline):

  • crates/render/src/lib.rs:4358: (row % cancel::EVERY == 0 && row > 0 || since_look >= cancel::EVERY_VERTICES) mixes && and || without parentheses. It is correct, but harder to read than needed.
  • crates/ui-egui/src/tilt_settle.rs:4: an overlong doc line. The cancel() doc (lines 112–117) also wraps irregularly.

AGENTS.md: no violations found. The new code uses web_time-free std primitives that compile on wasm, the thread-local flag is used with try_with, and the render::cancel path resolves through pub use rustgis_render as render.

Inline comment posted:

  • crates/ui-egui/src/mapview.rs:5228 (about 30% confidence): the busy() assertion right after the single step that spawns the worker may race with a fast release-build render of the sample and flake.

Prior reviews: 14 threads, all resolved. I left all 14 alone because each was answered and the code it points at has the fix. One caveat for the author: the answer to the heavy-single-feature concern relies on display levels from #1774, which this PR does not include. If #1774 lands later, that answer still holds; if it does not, one heavy feature can still hold a stopped frame for its whole draw.

…est (#1785)

settling_after_a_camera_animation_re_renders_fully read the full
frame's camera five UI steps after the animation ended. Since #1775 a
flat, north-up map's settled frame is drawn off the UI thread, so it
had not arrived yet and the test saw the previous frame's camera. The
test fails on the macOS and Windows runners, which have a GPU adapter;
the Linux runners skip it.

Wait for the frame with the file's wait_for_frame, as the other tests
there do.
