- I didn't see this on the 600+ backlogged postings, neither did I see a
- FAQ, sooo:
-
- As a project for a CompGraphics course, I need to animate some
- lines converging into a wireframe image. The program is already
- written, but I'm drawing everything to the same GC, which can be
- rather annoying if I have to erase and redraw the screen several
- times per second. I was thinking of perhaps creating another GC,
- and do a GC-flipping routine. Now, how do I go about determining
- which GC is displayed on the screen? My professor wasn't of any
- help. He doesn't use X for his work, and the class assignments
- assume MS-DOS with VGA graphics (I'm the weird guy doing his
- assignments on X because he doesn't have a PC).
-
- If you can help, please e-mail at the address below. Thank you.
- No, I'm not a regular reader of comp.windows.x.
