Complicated drawing in background

If you have a complicated drawing to create (e.g. a fractal) you may want to make sure that you do the drawing only one time though make sure that your picture is refreshed when needed Solution: Draw on a bitmap in memory and draw this bitmap on the form's canvas in the OnPaint. With D3 you could use the scanline-property for this which is very fast compared to drawing on a canvas.
