singlebuffer.c   [plain text]

/*
 * Demo of (nearly) flicker-free drawing with a single color buffer.
 *
 * Basically, draw the scene into the Z buffer first, then draw the
 * scene into the color buffer.  Finally, "clear" the background by
 * setting the fragments we didn't hit earlier.
 *
 * This won't work if you need blending.  The technique works best
 * when the scene is relatively simple and can be rendered quickly
 * (i.e. with hardware), and when the objects don't move too much from
 * one frame to the next.
