FORCE(3G)  —  

NAME

VI_Force − force output of graphics orders

SYNOPSIS

VI_Force()

DESCRIPTION

Commands built with subroutines described in “Setting Graphics Parameters” and “Issuing Graphics Primitives” in “The C Subroutine Interface for the IBM Academic Information Systems Experimental Display” generally do not send their output to the screen immediately.  Instead the output remains in a buffer until the buffer is full, when its output is sent to the screen.  Use VI_Force to force output in the current buffer to be transmitted before the buffer is full. 

NOTE

VI_Force applies only to the IBM Academic Information Systems experimental display.
