What exactly does GetBuffer() do?

Postby egarayblas » Feb 21, 2003 @ 3:22pm

Hi, I'm a newbie here and I've been trying to learn and understand GapiDraw a bit more. What exactly does GetBuffer() and ReleaseBuffer() do? Will it make my app run faster instead of just using the backbuffer that was used in most of the sample codes in GapiDraw?

Also, what does Lock and Unlock do? I'm really sorry for these questions, I just want to know why do I exactly need to use these (if ever). I didn't quite understand what was explained in the docs.

Many thanks! :-)
