swapin - defines a minimum time between buffer swaps
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME swapin - defines a minimum time between buffer swaps FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION subroutine swapin(i) integer*4 i PARAMETERS i expects the number of retraces to wait before swapping the front and back buffers. The default interval is 1. DESCRIPTION swapin defines a minimum number of retraces between buffer swaps. For example, for a swap interval of 5, the system refreshes the screen at least five times between successive buffer swaps. swapin changes frames at a steady rate if a new image can be created within one swap interval. Like the swapbu and mswapb commands that it affects, swapin is ignored by framebuffers in single buffer mode. A single swap interval counter is shared by the normal, overlay, and underlay framebuffers. The interval is enforced between all buffer swap requests, regardless of which framebuffers are swapped. SEE ALSO double, drawmo, mswapb, swapbu NOTE This routine is available only in immediate mode.
