Does anyone know a method to do double buffering with X, Xt, or Motif? I have a drawing area in which I want to animate some graphics and am getting a flicker due to refresh interactions. babcock@cs.montana.edu Ray S.

I can suggest creating a pixmap the size of your window, "drawing" into that pixmap, and then using XCopyArea to copy the pixmap into the window. This should eliminate flashing that takes place when you draw directly into a window. Of couse, I cannot guarantee how well this will work for animation, but it's worth a try. Let me know if this works for you or if you find a better way. ---- Victor Elkind, Software Engineer | victor@tcs.com or uunet!tcs!victor The opinions expressed above are my own...
