The standard solution is to double-buffer the display,
computing a totally fresh image in the new buffer.
Then you can either switch the display to that buffer
or else copy the changed bits to the single frame buffer.
I don't know how feasible this is under the new Plan 9
graphics model.
An alternative approach with modern PC graphics cards
is to build a (3D) model in the graphics card and let
the card's engines take care of the rendering.
