Gray Flimmer
Gray flimmer(ing) - The constant flashing of a Java applet, usually in animation, with the refresh() method. This
can usually be avoided by implementation of the update() method or by using the technique of double buffering. The
singular term 'gray flimmer' refers to a single flash of an image in a Java applet. When gray flimmering occurs, the
image flashes in such a way that it alternates rapidly between the actual image and a blank gray frame. This is where
the term 'gray flimmering' originates.
