Scilab Function

show_pixmap - send the pixmap buffer to the screen

Calling Sequence

show_pixmap()

Description

If a graphic window pixmap property is "on" the drawings are send to a pixmap memory instead of the screen display. The show_pixmap() instruction send the pixmap to the screen. The pixmap mode can be used to obtain smooth animations. This property can be found among the figure entity fields (see figure_properties ).

Examples 

   set figure_style new
   f=gcf();f.pixmap='on'; //set the pixmap mode
   a=gca();a.data_bounds=[0 0; 10 10];
   //construct two rectangles
   xrects([0;10;1;1],5);r1=gce();r1=r1.children;
   xrects([0;1;1;1],13);r2=gce();r2=r2.children;
   //animation loop
   for k=1:1000
      //draw the rectangles in the pixmap buffer
      move(r1,[0.01,-0.01]);move(r2,[0.01,0.01]) 
      //show the pixmap buffer
      show_pixmap()
   end
