drawlater
makes axes children invisible.
Calling Sequence
drawlater()
Description
This function can be used not to display immediatly onto the
current figure the next created graphics objects - i.e. by
calling high level functions such as plotting functions or setting
properties to existant objects. The immediate_drawing
property of the current figure is set to 'off' in order to
postpon the next drawings.
It can specially be used with the drawnow function.
To enable back the immediate_drawing for the current
figure, you can use drawnow function.
Warning : note that between drawlater and drawnow calls, the current figure may have changed. Therefore, this must be used carefully.
Examples
//Example : one axes / one figure drawlater(); xfarc(.25,.55,.1,.15,0,64*360); xfarc(.55,.55,.1,.15,0,64*360); xfrect(.3,.8,.3,.2); xfrect(.2,.7,.5,.2); xfrect(.32,.78,.1,.1); xfrect(.44,.78,.14,.1); xfrect(-.2,.4,1.5,.8); xstring(0.33,.9,"A Scilab Car"); a=get("current_axes"); a.children(1).font_size=4; a.children(1).font_style=4; a.children(1).background=5; a.children(3).background=8; a.children(4).background=8; a.children(5).background=17; a.children(6).background=17; a.children(7).background=25; a.children(8).background=25; xclick();drawnow(); //Example 2:: two axes / one figure subplot(212) a=gca(); drawlater // what will be present in this axes will be displayed later plot2d // draw these axes and children later... subplot(211) // Warning: we change the axes plot2d1 // default drawing mode draw(a) // ...axes only is visible providing you not redraw the window drawnow() // all is visible
