Static Imaging (?) help

So, first please view this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L04b-rhinQc and if you see the user can move the move the cursor around without it continuously making a new image. that is why i called it static imaging. how is this done and what is it actually called?
You can do this with system functions.

For Windows look at this:

but thank you for windows because I do some programming on windows.
