[GEM-dev] Some newbie questions (sorry)

[chris clepper]

You will find the clearing and buffer swapping code in GemMan :: 
swapBuffers().  To keep the contents of the window from clearing try 
sending a 'buffer 1' message to the gemwin.

I don't really know what you mean by a 'render object', but GemMan sets 
up most of the render states and then clears them while individual 
objects send GL drawing commands in immediate mode.  It's really fairly 
primitive (pardon the pun) right now, but that might change at some 
point.
