Doublebuffering with SWT [message #464664]

Does SWT supports doublebuffering?
Within my application I have to redraw often (10 times/sec) and
without doublebuffering the whole screen is flickering!
I saw implementations using the gc.drawImage(..) function but this
is very slow and it seems to me that this function is copy the content
of the image to the gc (instead of switching from one to the other buffer).

Regards
Michael

This depends on the Platform you run on. Try using the
SWT.DOUBLEBUFFERING (<- could be written differently but it is definitly
in the SWT class) style on your canvas/composite and see what happens.

Thanks for the hint. SWT.DOUBLE_BUFFERED ist working. But its still
very slow (as slow as my previous version with drawImage)!

Which Platform are you on? Are you sure that Double buffering is
actually being executed?
