%TRUE or %FALSE

This option can provide a great improvement in the execution speed of Canvas statements, as it eliminates repetitive updates to the display.

If this option is set to %TRUE, all drawing statements are buffered until a Canvas_Redraw statement is executed, or the operating system chooses to update the target window.

If this option is missed or set to %FALSE, all graphical statements are performed immediately.
