+The Double Buffer Extension (DBE) provides a standard way to utilize
+double-buffering within the framework of the X Window System.
+Double-buffering uses two buffers, called front and back, which hold images.
+The front buffer is visible to the user; the back buffer is not. Successive
+frames of an animation are rendered into the back buffer while the previously
+rendered frame is displayed in the front buffer. When a new frame is ready,
+the back and front buffers swap roles, making the new frame visible. Ideally,
+this exchange appears to happen instantaneously to the user and with no
+visual artifacts. Thus, only completely rendered images are presented to the
+user, and they remain visible during the entire time it takes to render a new
+frame. The result is a flicker-free animation.

+<para>
+Normal windows are created using the core CreateWindow request, which
+allocates a set of window attributes and, for InputOutput windows, a front
+buffer, into which an image can be drawn. The contents of this buffer will be
+displayed when the window is visible.
+</para>
+<para>
+This extension enables applications to use double-buffering with a window.
+This involves creating a second buffer, called a back buffer, and associating
+one or more back buffer names (XIDs) with the window for use when referring
+to (that is, drawing to or reading from) the window’s back buffer. The back
+buffer name is a DRAWABLE of type BACKBUFFER.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE provides a relative double-buffering model. One XID, the window,
+always refers to the front buffer. One or more other XIDs, the back buffer
+names, always refer to the back buffer. After a buffer swap, the window
+continues to refer to the (new) front buffer, and the back buffer name
+continues to refer to the (new) back buffer. Thus, applications and toolkits
+that want to just render to the back buffer always use the back buffer name
+for all drawing requests to the window. Portions of an application that want
+to render to the front buffer always use the window XID for all drawing
+requests to the window.
+</para>
+<para>
+Multiple clients and toolkits can all use double-buffering on the same window.
+DBE does not provide a request for querying whether a window has
+double-buffering support, and if so, what the back buffer name is. Given the
+asynchronous nature of the X Window System, this would cause race
+conditions. Instead, DBE allows multiple back buffer names to exist for the
+same window; they all refer to the same physical back buffer. The first time a
+back buffer name is allocated for a window, the window becomes
+double-buffered and the back buffer name is associated with the window.
+Subsequently, the window already is a double-buffered window, and nothing
+about the window changes when a new back buffer name is allocated, except
+that the new back buffer name is associated with the window. The window
+remains double-buffered until either the window is destroyed or until all of the
+back buffer names for the window are deallocated.
+</para>
+<para>
+In general, both the front and back buffers are treated the same.
+particular, here are some important characteristics:
+</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Only one buffer per window can be visible at a time (the front buffer).
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Both buffers associated with a window have the same visual type, depth,
+width, height, and shape as the window.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Both buffers associated with a window are "visible" (or "obscured") in
+the same way. When an Expose event is generated for a window, both
+buffers should be considered to be damaged in the exposed area.
+Damage that occurs to either buffer will result in an Expose event on
+the window. When a double-buffered window is exposed, both buffers
+are tiled with the window background, exactly as stated by the core
+protocol. Even though the back buffer is not visible, terms such as
+obscure apply to the back buffer as well as to the front buffer.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+It is acceptable at any time to pass a BACKBUFFER in any request,
+notably any core or extension drawing request, that expects a
+DRAWABLE. This enables an application to draw directly into
+BACKBUFFERs in the same fashion as it would draw into any other
+DRAWABLE.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+It is an error (Window) to pass a BACKBUFFER in a core request that
+expects a Window.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+A BACKBUFFER will never be sent by core X in a reply, event, or
+error where a Window is specified.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+If core X11 backing-store and save-under applies to a double-buffered
+window, it applies to both buffers equally.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+If the core ClearArea request is executed on a double-buffered window,
+the same area in both the front and back buffers is cleared.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+The effect of passing a window to a request that accepts a
+<function>DRAWABLE</function> is
+unchanged by this extension. The window and front buffer are synonomous
+with each other. This includes obeying the <function>GetImage</function>
+semantics and the
+subwindow-mode semantics if a core graphics context is involved. Regardless
+of whether the window was explicitly passed in a
+<function>GetImage</function> request, or
+implicitly referenced (that is, one of the window’s ancestors was passed in the
+request), the front (that is, visible) buffer is always referenced. Thus,
+DBE-naive screen dump clients will always get the front buffer.
+<function>GetImage</function> on
+a back buffer returns undefined image contents for any obscured regions of the
+back buffer that fall within the image.
+</para>
+<para>
+Drawing to a back buffer always uses the clip region that would be used to
+draw to the front buffer with a GC subwindow-mode of
+<function>ClipByChildren</function>. If
+an ancestor of a double-buffered window is drawn to with a core GC having a
+subwindow-mode of IncludeInferiors, the effect on the double-buffered
+window’s back buffer depends on the depth of the double-buffered window
+and the ancestor. If the depths are the same, the contents of the back buffer
+of the double-buffered window are not changed. If the depths are different,
+the contents of the back buffer of the double-buffered window are undefined
+for the pixels that the <function>IncludeInferiors</function> drawing touched.
+</para>
+
+
+<para>
+DBE adds no new events. DBE does not extend the semantics of any existing
+events with the exception of adding a new DRAWABLE type called
+BACKBUFFER. If events, replies, or errors that contain a DRAWABLE (for
+example, <function>GraphicsExpose</function>) are generated in response to
+a request, the
+DRAWABLE returned will be the one specified in the request.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE advertises which visuals support double-buffering.
+</para>
+<para>
+DBE does not include any timing or synchronization facilities. Applications
+that need such facilities (for example, to maintain a constant frame rate)
+should investigate the Synchronization Extension, an X Consortium standard.
+</para>
+
+<sect1 id="window_management_operations">
+<title>Window Management Operations</title>
+
+<para>
+The basic philosophy of DBE is that both buffers are treated the same by core
+X window management operations.
+</para>
+<para>
+When the core <function>DestroyWindow</function> is executed on a
+double-buffered window, both buffers associated with the window are
+destroyed, and all back buffer names associated with the window are freed.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the core <function>ConfigureWindow</function> request changes the size
+of a window, both buffers assume the new size. If the window’s size
+increases, the effect on the buffers depends on whether the implementation
+honors bit gravity for buffers.
+If bit gravity is implemented, then the contents of both buffers are moved in
+accordance with the window’s bit gravity (see the core
+<function>ConfigureWindow</function>
+request), and the remaining areas are tiled with the window background. If
+bit gravity is not implemented, then the entire unobscured region of both
+buffers is tiled with the window background. In either case,
+<function>Expose</function> events are
+generated for the region that is tiled with the window background.
+If the core GetGeometry request is executed on a BACKBUFFER, the
+returned x, y, and border-width will be zero.
+</para>
+<para>
+If the Shape extension
+<function>ShapeRectangles</function>,
+<function>ShapeMask</function>,
+<function>ShapeCombine</function>, or
+<function>ShapeOffset</function>
+request is executed on a double-buffered window, both buffers
+are reshaped to match the new window shape. The region difference is the
+following:
+</para>
+
+<literallayout remap='Ds'>
+ D = newshape − oldshape
+</literallayout>
+
+<para>
+It is tiled with the window background in both buffers, and
+<function>Expose</function>
+events are generated for D.

+<sect1 id="complex_swap_actions">
+<title>Complex Swap Actions</title>
+<para>
+DBE has no explicit knowledge of ancillary buffers (for example, depth buffers
+or alpha buffers), and only has a limited set of defined swap actions. Some
+applications may need a richer set of swap actions than DBE provides. Some
+DBE implementations have knowledge of ancillary buffers, and/or can provide
+a rich set of swap actions. Instead of continually extending DBE to increase
+its set of swap actions, DBE provides a flexible "idiom" mechanism. If an
+application’s needs are served by the defined swap actions, it should use them;
+otherwise, it should use the following method of expressing a complex swap
+action as an idiom. Following this policy will ensure the best possible
+performance across a wide variety of implementations.
+</para>
+<para>
+As suggested by the term "idiom," a complex swap action should be expressed
+as a group/series of requests. Taken together, this group of requests may be
+combined into an atomic operation by the implementation, in order to
+maximize performance. The set of idioms actually recognized for optimization
+is implementation dependent.
+To help with idiom expression and
+interpretation, an idiom must be surrounded by two protocol requests:
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function>.
+Unless this begin-end pair surrounds the idiom, it may not be recognized
+by a given implementation, and performance will suffer.
+</para>
+<para>
+For example, if an application wants to swap buffers for two windows, and use
+core X to clear only certain planes of the back buffers, the application would
+issue the following protocol requests as a group, and in the following order:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request with XIDs for two windows, each of which uses
+a swap action of Untouched.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Core X <function>PolyFillRectangle</function> request to the back buffer of one window.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+Core X <function>PolyFillRectangle</function> request to the back buffer of the other
+window.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+<function>DBEEndIdiom</function> request.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+The <function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function>
+requests do not perform any actions
+themselves. They are treated as markers by implementations that can
+combine certain groups/series of requests as idioms, and are ignored by other
+implementations or for nonrecognized groups/series of requests. If these
+requests are sent out of order, or are mismatched, no errors are sent, and the
+requests are executed as usual, though performance may suffer.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+
+An idiom need not include a <function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request.
+For example, if a swap action of <function>Copied</function> is desired,
+but only some of the planes should be copied, a core X
+<function>CopyArea</function> request may be used instead of
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function>. If
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> is included in an idiom, it should
+immediately follow the
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request. Also, when the
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> is included in an idiom, that
+request’s swap action will still be valid, and if the swap action
+might overlap with another request, then the final result of the idiom must be
+as if the separate requests were executed serially. For example, if the
+specified swap action is <function>Untouched</function>, and if a
+<function>PolyFillRectangle</function> using a client clip
+rectangle is done to the window’s back buffer after the
+<function>DBESwapBuffers</function> request, then the contents of the new
+back buffer (after the idiom) will be the
+same as if the idiom was not recognized by the implementation.
+</para>
+<para>
+It is highly recommended that Application Programming Interface (API)
+providers define, and application developers use, "convenience" functions that
+allow client applications to call one procedure that encapsulates common
+idioms. These functions will generate the
+<function>DBEBeginIdiom</function> request, the idiom
+requests, and <function>DBEEndIdiom</function> request. Usage of these
+functions will ensure best possible performance across a wide
+variety of implementations.
