Hi.
I want to place a rotating wire-frame on a form by using
'Canvas.LineTo'.
The only problem is, because the image has to be updated, that it
flickers
a lot. I know this can be solved by using a drawbuffer and a display
buffer,
but I don't know how to do this. Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

(P.S. If you want to reply to me, please remove the '27' from my
mailaddress)

Look for several links about Flicker in the Graphics section of
www.efg2.com/lab/library/Delphi/Graphics/Algorithms.htm

Happy Holidays!

This is amply covered in the DirectX tutorials on Microsofts web site -
tyhough of course examples are in C not Delphi.  Still the discussion of
prionciples is useful backgrounding.

The DelphiX and DGC game libraries contain full source and illustrate double
buffering in DirectX.
Get them (and losts of other useful stuff) on the Delphi Super Page.
