Did you mean whether we can draw within a single frame
OpenGL and non-OpenGL objects ?

- This is not implemented by ROOT.

- Open GL standard doesn't define this feature and it is up to
Open GL implementation (vendor)

- Open GL does produce the pixmap arrays. Those can be used to paint the
TPad "background". This way one has more freedom with GL implementation
but he is restricted with "GL double buffering" mode.

With my best regards,
