swap_buffers


Description:

public void swap_buffers ()

Swaps the current back buffer being rendered too, to the front for display.

This function also implicitly discards the contents of the color, depth and stencil buffers as if discard_buffers were used. The significance of the discard is that you should not expect to be able to start a new frame that incrementally builds on the contents of the previous frame.

<note>It is highly recommended that applications use swap_buffers_with_damage instead whenever possible and also use the get_buffer_age api so they can perform incremental updates to older buffers instead of having to render a full buffer for every frame.</note>

Parameters:

this

A Onscreen framebuffer
