Description
In normal graphics mode, `Flip` is an alias for `PCopy` and `ScreenCopy`. See `ScreenCopy` for details.
In OpenGL mode, `Flip` does a hardware page flip and displays the contents of the backbuffer. It is recommended that you call `Flip` regularly while in OpenGL mode, otherwise your app may also become unresponsive.
