how to send args in post_to_main_thread.

[MeyerBuaharon]

Hey,
I'm using open3d and I've created a thread that runs in the background and give me the next point cloud:
gui.Application.instance.post_to_main_thread(window, next_point_cloud)

Is there a way to send args to my next_point_cloud function while using post_to_main_thread?

Thanks for the response,
If I wanted to send another parameter to add_sphere, so how do I send the parameter in the post_to_main_thread?

def add_sphere(self, another_parameter):
        self._id += 1
        mat = rendering.Material()
        ....

gui.Application.instance.post_to_main_thread(
                    self.window, self.add_sphere)  <- how I add here another parameter?

You can make global variables for other inputs as you cannot pass any other parameters. As you see the self._id is a global variable that can be seen in add_sphere function.

Got it, Thanks
