[Qgis-developer] Re: flickering on display through plugin

[nitin quick]

hello sir
For avoiding flickering i i reimplemented my class and inherited from
QgsMapCanvasItem.
i defined drawShape(QPainter &) in my code but it is never getting called
even after multiple call to updateCanvas().
I has studied Measure area maptool code. Where similar code is there and
same control flow do work. Can anybody advice on this issue while such thing
is happening?if there is need, i can post my code also.
regards
quick nitin
