thats right, buffer 1 switches on the single buffer mode.
another example for this u can find in the 04.video directory,
the 01.videopaint.pd patch.

just remove all the pix_* objects and u will have a sqaure which is
drawing a picture, use maybe an additional translate in the 
gemchain.

in the help directory of gem u will find the gemwin.pd
patch, which has a subpatch called "pd viewing",
there is zour question explained.

cheers
