Hi
It seems to be possible to attain flicker free animation in Xlib either
using double buffering via the Xdbe extention or by writing everything to
a pixmap then using XCopyArea(). Does anyone have any idea or experience
about which is better or more efficient for this purpose? I know some Window
operations such as clearing can't be done in a pixmap but I'm not too bothered
about them.
Thanks for any help
