Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi all,
has anyone successfully converted the "hand" routine in the analog clock from cfunction to blit.
I find the cfunction version still corrupts the background.
I have looked at the guage demo and got that working for 1 pointer, but the structure is so different
and I can't get my head round using that method for 3 pointers.
any help would be much appreciated.

Might the corruption be that the algorithm is wrong?
It's fairly easy to redraw/restore things such that the overall outcome isn't right.
Or are you saying the cfunction is buggy?

Hi john,
I wouldn't dare say that the cfunction is buggy, but using Lewis' Weather station code it all seems OK, but over a few hours the background seems to get corrupted.
Now using the blit command only with only a second hand over the same length of time does Not corrupt.
