Foil 104 Double Buffering to Reduce Flicker - II

From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox
The previous statements could be in init() while in paint(), one will construct applet image in offscreenGraphics as opposed to the argument g of paint(). So one would see statements such as:
e.g. offscreenGraphics.drawImage(img,10,10,this);
Finally at end of paint(), one could transfer the double buffered image to g by
g.drawImage(offscreenImage,0,0,this);
One would also need to override the update() method by
public void update(Graphics g) {
paint(g);
}
