Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the UI-button loop that changes the Polyscope scene, then determine how rendering behaves during the loop and whether the work can run in another thread. Done means repeated scene updates refresh reliably without unsafe threading behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Polyscope is a very nice framework.
how to implement the following situations?

  1. after click a button on UI, start a for loop
  2. every iteration of the loop will change the polyscope scene and refresh the rendering (it seems polyscope can not handle it now).
  3. as the loop is time-cost, it is possible to run it in anther theading? it seems that polyscope can not handle threading now.

Thanks.
