# Usage: perl dbe-swap.pl
#
# This is a simple example of double buffer swapping for drawing. In the
# loop below drawing is done to the back buffer then swapped to the front to
# display.
#
# The drawing shows alternatively a circle and square. The new figure is
# drawn to the back buffer and then swapped to the front so it changes
# immediately, without a separate clear and draw which the user might see as
# a flash or flicker. Of course a circle or square will draw fast enough
# that double buffering is hardly needed, but for more complex contents can
# benefit.
#
# When a window gets an "expose", as happens here on the initial MapWindow,
# the back buffer is cleared to the window background the same as the window
# itself. So if the buffer is allocated before the first expose then
# there's no need to explicitly erase the back buffer.
#
# In a realistic program of course you'd listen and read events from the
# server in between drawing, and might work in at least one server
# round-trip between drawing so as to wait if the server is under a heavy
# load etc. (Or wait if no synchronizing reply is received for a certain
# time or number of frames, etc.)
