Comments

You usually call this after the following states, which you can get with the L_GetPlaybackState function:

Constant	Meaning
PLAYSTATE_POSTCLEAR	[0x0001] Indicates that the target bitmap has been cleared.
PLAYSTATE_POSTRENDER	[0x0004] Indicates that an image has been rendered to the target bitmap.
PLAYSTATE_POSTDISPOSE	[0x0009] Indicates that the current image has been disposed of. The index is incremented after processing this state.

This function uses bitmap coordinates to specify the update rectangle. Therefore, you must account for the bitmap's view perspective. For more information, refer to Accounting for View Perspective.
