A general technique for reducing flicker in animated graphics operations is called double buffering. The idea is that you do all drawing to an offscreen bitmap, then when you’ve finished rendering the whole scene, copy the entire bitmap to the visible display.
The term also relates to hardware-supported techniques such as the ability to exchange the whole video display buffer with an alternate one, which is used in dedicated systems like console video games.
