Enum Class LoopLifetime

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<LoopLifetime>

limn.backend.LoopLifetime

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<LoopLifetime>, Constable

public enum LoopLifetime
extends Enum<LoopLifetime>

How long Backend.runEventLoop() runs: set with Backend.setLoopLifetime(limn.backend.LoopLifetime), UNTIL_LAST_WINDOW by default. Either way, Backend.stop() ends it at once and an agreed Backend.requestQuit() ends it after closing every window.

A 1.x minor release may add constants to this enum: a switch over it needs a default branch.
