FL_OBJECT *img;
Pixmap p;
/* create and fill Pixmap with image to be shown */
fl_free_pixmap_pixmap(img);
fl_set_pixmap_pixmap(img, p, 0);
The images are 320x240. Is there a limit on the number pixels that can be
drawn between refreshes with set_pixmap (due to xserver overhead, etc)?
Regardless, unless the X server (or Xforms or anything else between my
code and the screen) waits for the gun to start heading back to the top of
the screen, I don't see how it'd be possible to refresh anything without
seeing flicker at least some of the time. Or do I really have no clue?
Thanks, Andrew
