## Detailed Description

Handles the repaint of some part of the screen.

Some places in the code are called functions which makes something "dirty". This has nothing to do with making a Tile or Window darker or less visible. This term comes from memory caching and is used to define an object must be repaint. If some data of an object (like a Tile, Window, Vehicle, whatever) are changed which are so extensive the object must be repaint its marked as "dirty". The video driver repaint this object instead of the whole screen (this is btw. also possible if needed). This is used to avoid a flickering of the screen by the video driver constantly repainting it.

This whole mechanism is controlled by an rectangle defined in _invalid_rect. This rectangle defines the area on the screen which must be repaint. If a new object needs to be repainted this rectangle is extended to 'catch' the object on the screen. At some point (which is normaly uninteressted for patch writers) this rectangle is send to the video drivers method VideoDriver::MakeDirty and it is truncated back to an empty rectangle. At some later point (which is uninteressted, too) the video driver repaints all these saved rectangle instead of the whole screen and drop the rectangle informations. Then a new round begins by marking objects "dirty".
