A basic mechanism to stop flickering is to double buffer all output,
which means drawing into an offscreen pixmap and then copyarea
that to the screen once.

Your code sequence may be straight forward and simple,
but if it over draws the same area twice (especially including
automated background clearing) then you're apt to see flicker
except for very fast systems.
