The pixmap mode can be used to obtain smooth animations. This property
can be found among the figure entity fields (see
`figure_properties`_).

be removed with Scilab 5.4.1 Please use `drawlater`_/`drawnow`_
instead.



Examples

::

    f=`gcf`_();
    f.pixmap='on'; //set the pixmap mode
    a=`gca`_();
    a.data_bounds=[0 0; 10 10];
    //construct two rectangles
    `xrects`_([0;10;1;1],5);
    r1=`gce`_();
    r1=r1.children;
    `xrects`_([0;1;1;1],13);
    r2=`gce`_();
    r2=r2.children;
    //animation loop
    for k=1:1000
      //draw the rectangles in the pixmap buffer
      `move`_(r1,[0.01,-0.01]);
      `move`_(r2,[0.01,0.01])
