gl_enablepageflipping(3)       Svgalib User Manual	gl_enablepageflipping(3)

NAME
     gl_enablepageflipping - enables automatic page flipping

SYNOPSIS
     #include <vgagl.h>

     int gl_enablepageflipping(GraphicsContext *gc);

DESCRIPTION
     Enable  page flipping or triple buffering in gl_copyscreen(3) if the physi-
     cal context gc can do it.

     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_copy-
     screen(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.
