Notify Vizard that the On-The-Fly object will NOT be modified frequently

Return Value

None

Example

#Create a triangle
viz.startLayer(viz.TRIANGLES)
viz.vertex(-1,0,0)
viz.vertex(1,0,0)
viz.vertex(0,1,0)
triangle = viz.endLayer()

#The contents will be changing frequently
triangle.dynamic()

def changeVertex():
    #Change the position of a vertex
    triangle.setVertex(0,x,y,z)

mytimer = vizact.ontimer(0.1, changeVertex)

.
.
.

#Done modifying the object frequently
mytimer.setEnabled(viz.OFF)
triangle.static()
