Hi also look to this link about drawing and refreshing: http://www.nabble.com/Draw-on-click-and-refresh-the-window---resolved-td18093899.html and the two tutorials by rob may about drawing and refreshing: http://www.mail-archive.com/perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05194.html http://www.mail-archive.com/perl-win32-gui-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05195.html
also before three days i have found an example in the win32gui demos : demos\DIBitmap\ the first is test8.pl and test13.pl they draw a circle without any flickering, they use GD graphics with DIBitmap, first install GD Graphics from this site:http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppmdir.html using the command: ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/GD.ppd and try the test8.pl and test13.pl, the GD graphics have many plotting statements for drawing lines, polygons, points, etc Raphael Stoeckli wrote: > > Hi @ all > > I try to plot a static DC-Object (means: the graphic is calculated > uniquely > at runtime, depending of several parameters, and does not change while > displaying the window) in a window. > The problem is that this object continuously needs to be redrawn, because > it > vanishes during moving the window around, or if an other window is moving > over it. > I thought, a repaint-routine like that would solve the problem: > ------------------------------------- > use strict; > use Win32::GUI(); > our $WIN; > our %DC; > > &build_gui; > Win32::GUI::Dialog(); > > sub build_gui # Building the GUI > { > $WIN = new Win32::GUI::Window( > -left => 200, -top => 200, -width => 300, -height => 300, > -name => "WIN", > -text => "Static-DC-Test", > #-noflicker => 1, # Useless/worse result > ); > $WIN->Show(); > $DC{'color'}{'white'} = [255,255,255]; > $DC{'color'}{'red'} = [255,0,0]; > $DC{'pen'} = new Win32::GUI::Pen( -color => $DC{'color'}{'red'}, -width => > 3, ); > $DC{'brush'} = new Win32::GUI::Brush( -color => $DC{'color'}{'white'}, > -width => 1, ); > &repaint; > $DC{'timer'} = $WIN ->AddTimer("timer", 100); > } > > sub ::timer_Timer # Repaint DC with interval of 'timer' > { &repaint; } > > sub WIN_Terminate { return -1; } > > sub repaint # Create/rebuild DC-Object > { > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} = $WIN -> GetDC; > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> FillRect(10, 10, 280, 260,$DC{'brush'}); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> SelectObject($DC{'pen'}); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> BeginPath(); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> MoveTo(10, 10); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> LineTo(280, 260); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> EndPath(); > $DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> StrokePath(); > #$DC{'dc'}{'object'} -> Save(); # ???
