I'm wondering if this is possible. I want the screen to stay blank while graphics are being rendered, and the screen to come back once the calculator is finished.
Add this at the beginning of a program:
FnOff
PlotsOff
AxesOff
GridOff
or, add this instead
StoreGDB 1
FnOff
PlotsOff
AxesOff
GridOff
...code...
RecallGDB 1
Hope this helps

I think that KarolHo means that they want the screen to be blank, then all the graphics to appear at the same time. The easiest way to do this would probably be to store the graph screen with the graphics. Then, recall the picture. It depends on the graphics used.

Exactly, however before the graph with the desired graphics can be saved, it still needs to be rendered, and I'm assuming that can't be hidden?
Use the Set Contrast hexcode to set the contrast to 0 while rendering, then set the contrast to 24 after the rendering is complete
Or use the hexcode to Toggle LCD Power before and after the rendering
Is it possible on the original TI-83?
It depends on the hex
Some of these codes may not work on the original TI-83

Have you heard about double buffering and page flipping? I just don't know if that's possible on your calc or if there are HEX codes for it. But with a assembly sub-routine worth a try. Just my 2 cents.

how about storePic() and recallPic() ?

you still have to draw the pic before you can recall the pic
maybe change to a double screen size and draw it first on the outside of the visible part?
p.185 Programming the ti-84
When you display part of that plane on your calculator’s LCD, it’s as if you set the calculator down on top of the plane and looked through the LCD at the underlying plane, including whatever graph might be sketched on that plane. Your calculator would be a literal window through which you could see a graph. You could slide your calculator around on the plane to see different parts of the graph through the LCD “window.” You could lift it away from the plane to see more of the plane (thus zooming out) or move it closer to zoom in.

The way I understand it is that you can set up the graph screen e.g having in each quadrant different things already drawn. But the screen is double the size. And when you move the coordinates or switch to different quadrants, everything is already drawn. The book has a nice illustration about this technique.
