gl_enablepageflipping

NAME

SYNOPSIS

int gl_enablepageflipping(GraphicsContext *gc);

DESCRIPTION

Returns 3 if triple buffering will be used, 2 for page flipping, 0 if page flipping is not possible (due to video memory/mode limitations).

When pageflipping is enabled, the gl_screenoffset(3) is ignored in gl_copyscreen(3).

The idea is that you draw your picture in gc and copy it to the screen by consecutive gl_copyscreen(3) calls. Each of these will choose a free buffer in the screen and adjust the display start accourdingly.

The current context must by the VGA when gl_copyscreen(3) is called in this situation.
