> I’m using WGLMakie with Atom/Juno to [record](https://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/abstractplotting_api.html#AbstractPlotting.record-Tuple%7BAny,%20Any,%20Any%7D) videos. Is it possible to record videos without live plotting in Atom? Sometimes I just want the video and live plotting seems like a drain on resources. Thanks!
I did look into the source code and it seems like the option `sleep = true or false` is not implemented in order to avoid the live plotting. Is there another way to obtain the same effect ?

In GLMakie you can try
```julia
GLMakie.set_window_config!(framerate = Inf, vsync = false)
```
before opening a window. That should bring you in a mode where we don’t sleep on Julias side and GLFW runs as fast as possible.
I’d assume CairoMakie would run as fast as possible to begin with. WGLMakie I have no idea about

Thanks, although, the window still shows up but then stops and I get (I’m running this in windows)
`GLFWError (PLATFORM_ERROR): WGL: Failed to make context current: The handle is invalid. ... Screen not open!`
