Yes - tried that, but gives incomplete draw / flicker.

More details:
the idea is to provide a graphics demo of sort algorithms for my 13 year old
son.  A number of lines of differring lengths are shown on the screen, and
you can watch as these are sorted, step by step.  So you can see the
difference between bubble sort, ripple sort, etc.
Code copied below.
Improving the smoothness of the display is the main thing I'm after.
Also, how can I write the counters to the form?  It uses the LCD widget now,
but there must be another way.

TIA

Peter
