You normally use some kind of timer for annimations (and it sounds like you
want some kind of annimation).

In the GUI you normally have reactive drawing code (Handling of expose
events) and
active code that draw activly when data changes, timer expose. Of cause the
sencond
case can fall back to the first case by simulating expose events :-)
