%
% FlipTest times and plots the intervals between flips of the front and
% back display buffers in a tight loop. Flips should occur at the video
% frame period. Result of lipTest are a test of Priority's ability to
% gurantee time to MATLAB for real-time displays.
%
% On OS X, the Screen subfunction 'Flip' replaces 'WaitBlanking' as a means
% of sycnrhonizing updates of video memory with the vertical retrace of your
% monitor. This prevents vertical shearing of displays.
%
% Onscreen windows in OS X are double buffered, having two surfaces:
% front and back. The front surface is memory from which video DACs read
% and is displayed on your montitor. The back surface is video memory to
% which rendering commands draw.
%
% A call to Screen 'Flip' delays until the next vertical retrace, then
% instantaneously interchanges front and back video surfaces, and then
% returns.
