Are you referring to xor drawing? The link has details on how to implement this.

Since xor drawing is deprecated, I would suggest using CopyTexImage2D to copy your drawing to a texture. You can then use this texture to refresh damaged regions without redrawing the whole screen.

I can't to find any example how to use CopyTexImage2D.
This is my wrong code (in Tao.Framework):

            bool startMouseMove=false;
            int RenderTex;
            private void glControl_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
            {
                Gl.glDrawBuffer(Gl.GL_FRONT);
                if (startMouseMove)
                {
                    Gl.glBegin(Gl.GL_QUADS);                           // Black rectangle!!!
                    Gl.glTexCoord2dv(new double[] { 0.0, 0.0 });
                    Gl.glVertex2d(mousePositionPrev.X-35, mousePositionPrev.Y-60);
                    Gl.glTexCoord2dv(new double[] { 1.0, 0.0 });
                    Gl.glVertex2d(mousePositionPrev.X-35 + 70, mousePositionPrev.Y-60);
                    Gl.glTexCoord2dv(new double[] { 1.0, 1.0 });
                    Gl.glVertex2d(mousePositionPrev.X-35 + 70, mousePositionPrev.Y -60 + 120);
                    Gl.glTexCoord2dv(new double[] { 0.0, 1.0 });
                    Gl.glVertex2d(mousePositionPrev.X-35, mousePositionPrev.Y -60 + 120);
                    Gl.glEnd();
                }
                else
                {
                    startMouseMove = true;
                    mousePosition = glControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
                }
                mousePositionPrev = mousePosition;
                mousePosition = glControl.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
                 DrawFrames(mousePosition, 1);
                Gl.glBindTexture(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, RenderTex);
                Gl.glCopyTexImage2D(Gl.GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, Gl.GL_RGBA, 
                  mousePosition.X, mousePosition.Y, 70, 120, 0);
                Gl.glFlush();
                Gl.glDrawBuffer(Gl.GL_BACK);
 
 
            }

What is wrong?

You are not setting the read buffer anywhere in the code. Check the specs:

Quote:

glCopyTexImage2D defines a two-dimensional texture image with pixels from the current GL_READ_BUFFER.

In other words, you need to use glReadBuffer to indicate the source of the copy.

It does not help .
I correctly use CopyTexImage2D?

                Gl.glReadBuffer(Gl.GL_FRONT);
                Gl.glDrawBuffer(Gl.GL_FRONT);
 
                if (startMouseMove)
                {
                   ...

Thanks!

This looks just about right. Try calling glFinish() before glCopyTexImage2D().
