18.5 Frame Management
18.5.1 Single Buffer
The entire drawing frame (or a part of it) can be assigned as a display frame. The displayed
area can be scrolled by relocating the position of the display frame. If the display frame crosses
the border of the drawing frame, the opposite side of the drawing frame is displayed, i.e. the
drawing frame is rolled over (top and left edges are assumed to be logically connected to the
bottom and right edges respectively). To avoid artefacts by drawing directly on the display,
drawing data can be transferred to the graphics memory in the blanking time period.
18.5.2 Double Buffer
Two drawing frames are set up. While one frame is being displayed, drawing is done to the
other frame. Flicker-less animation can be performed by switching back and forth between
these two frames. Switching is done in the blanking time period. There are two switching
modes: automatically at every scan frame period or manually by user control. Double buffer is
assigned independently for the L2, L3, L4, L5 layers.
