X11 window updating

Hello to everyone. I have a little project where I draw a rectangle on my root screen. I use Xlib for that. Sadly it creates a lot of trash when the coordinates of right corner of the rectangle changes. Can I update the whole screen by using Xlib? How does xsnow draw its snowflakes without doing a mess? Please help me to find the answer/solution

My code is there:
