singlebuffer()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

singlebuffer − writes and displays all bitplanes

SPECIFICATION

C
singlebuffer()

FORTRAN
subroutine single

Pascal
procedure singlebuffer;

DESCRIPTION

The IRIS has three display modes: single buffer, double buffer, and RGB.  singlebuffer invokes single buffer mode.  In single buffer mode, the system simultaneously updates and displays all the available bitplanes.  Consequently, incomplete or changing pictures appear on the screen.  singlebuffer does not take effect until gconfig is called.

NOTE

This routine is available only in immediate mode.
