procedure EndUpdate(

  Layer: PLayer;

  Flag: LongWord

);

Arguments

Layer

  

pointer to a layer

Flag

  

Use True if update was completed. The damage list is cleared. Use False if update not complete. The damage list is retained.

Description

After the programmer has redrawn his picture he calls this routine to restore the ClipRects to point to his standard layer tiling. The layer is then unlocked for access by the layer library.

Attention

Use flag := False if you are only making a partial update. You may use the other region functions (graphics functions such as OrRectRegion, AndRectRegion, and XorRectRegion) to clip adjust the DamageList to reflect a partial update.

Snippet

// begin update for first part of two-part refresh 
BeginUpdate(my_layer);
// do some refresh, but not all 
my_partial_refresh_routine(my_layer);
// end update, false (not completely done refreshing yet) 
EndUpdate(my_layer, False);
// begin update for last part of refresh 
BeginUpdate(my_layer);
// do rest of refresh 
my_complete_refresh_routine(my_layer);
// end update, true (completely done refreshing now) 
EndUpdate(my_layer, True);
