Subject:	Animation in libgrx

Does anyone know of a way to do page swapping for flicker free
animation effects with libgrx?  Basically I would like to be able
to draw to a context without it being seen and I can't seem to figure
out if this is supported by reading the documentation.  Preferably the
solution will not involve GrBitBlt as this would slow things down
quite a bit.

For example, I believe it should work like this:

	/*  Always show front buffer  */

	set_frontbuffer(TRUE);
	set_backbuffer(FALSE);


	loop {
		clear backbuffer();
		draw_to_backbuffer();
		swap_front_and_back();
	}
