Screen buffer
 | It has been suggested that framebuffer be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2015. |
In computing, a screen buffer is a part of computer memory used by a computer application for the representation of the content to be shown on the computer display.[1]
The screen buffer may also be called the video buffer, the regeneration buffer, or regen buffer for short.[2]
Screen buffers should be distinguished from video memory. To this end, the term off-screen buffer is also used.
