double-buffering

I am making a paint project like photoshop using c#. I have used GDI+ for the drawing. Sadly I cannot post the screen shot cuz of the reputation points required. EDIT : Ok i got enough rep to upload a pic. My drawing using the mouse lags when the brush size increases. I have a canvasBuffer which is drawn to the canvas panel protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { if (canvasBuffer != null) { using (Graphics g = e.Graphics) { g.DrawImage(canvasBuffer, e.ClipRectangle, e.ClipRectangle, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); } } } And this is what happens when any painting is done. I store the list of

I have a full-screen canvas with 3 images drawn on it. When I resize the window, these images change position; however, it appears to be very glitchy, more so in Firefox. I've been reading that double-buffering should resolve this issue, but I'm wondering how I would double buffer when the next position is unknown. That is to say, I cannot determine what should be buffered in the future, so how would this be possible? Here is one source that seems doable, but I do not fully understand the concept Fedor is trying to explain. Does HTML5/Canvas Support Double Buffering? So far I have, $canvas = $

I am replicating a classic game, Pong, in Java using JavaFX. I am using java.util.Timer, java.util.TimerTask for the game loop and JavaFX's Canvas for rendering. Is there a way to add double buffering to the Canvas so the animation doesn't flicker? Or should I approach this differently? Bellow is the code. I removed some parts of it, that I think are irrelevant, since the code is around 200 lines long. Canvas canvas = new Canvas(stageW, stageH); GraphicsContext gc; public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception { Group root = new Group(); gc = canvas.getGraphicsContext2D(); Timer loop = new

A default winAPI application does not have double-buffering. Instead, it does a very, very good job of ensuring that only what needs to be drawn is drawn, and that gives it a seamless appearance. However, when you resize the window, the entire thing needs to be redrawn, and this causes flickering between the controls, the background on the tab, and sometimes the white of the tab. So my question is, what is the easiest way to support double buffering in my application? Create a bitmap the size of the window, render into that bitmap, and blit that back into the window when you're done. You can

Normally, even when using double buffering, when resizing a window, it seems that it's inevitable that the flickering will happen. Step 1, the original window. Step 2, the window is resized, but the extra area hasn't been painted. Step 3, the window is resized, and the extra area has been painted. Is it possible somehow to hide setp 2? Can I suspend the resizing process until the painting action is done? Here's an example: #include <Windows.h> #include <windowsx.h> #include <Uxtheme.h> #pragma comment(lib, "Uxtheme.lib") LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM
