The best way to do this in a "by the rules" manner is to create a pixmap
in an offscreen CGrafPort, and then flash it on to the screen via copybits.
I am currently using this method in a program that I've written for displaying
CCD images on a Mac II.  If you need further assistance, please reply
via net mail.
