I thought lazarus did double buffering by default, so this should be so
automatically ?
Double buffering means, that there are two buffers, one for showing and
for painting. When painting is done they are "swapped".
This avoids flickering. No more, no less.
I understand that.
But the effect is that inside the Paint() event you are actually drawing to a bitmap (buffer),
which is then swapped to the display once the paint method is done ?
So why would I want to introduce a third buffer, which is then copied to the
second, which is then copied to the actual display ?
I thought the idea was to be more efficient, not less ?
Michael.
