[R] problem with grid animation

2005-11-13 Thread Zepu Zhang 
I'm trying to do animation with grid. Basically it's a vector field, like what 
'quiver' 
in Matlab creates. I need to update it with grid.edit(). It seems grid erases 
the 
whole thing first, then redraws. Therefore the evident 'flash' between frames.

Any way to avoid this flash? Thanks.

Correct.

There are a couple of ways, but unfortunately they may not be to your 
taste ...

1)  Use windows (where double-buffering has been implemented)
2)  Find some way to convince someone to modify the X11 device (or 
whichever device you are using) to support double-buffering
3)  Provide a patch for the X11 device yourself ...
