How to enforce a screen refresh?

General Discussion
1

Hi,

I am currently busy hooking-up my molecular dynamics program as a plugin
to Avogadro. That is, I copy the atomic/molecular data in my MD engine,
do one or more timesteps, and copy the geometry back to the
Avogadro::Molecule instance.
In essence it works in the sense I can move the atoms around. However
to see that on the screen, I first have to click on the screen to get an
refresh.
How can I enforce such a refresh?

Looking forward to your suggestions,
Bertwim

Molecule::update() should refresh the molecule…

Wel, thanks! Sorry (blush!) that I missed this obvious function!
