NAME

finish - wait until the terminal command queue and pipeline are empty

SYNOPSIS

C
finish()

FORTRAN
subroutine finish

Pascal
procedure finish;

DESCRIPTION

Finish blocks the host process until all previous commands have been executed.  It forces all unsent commands down the network/graphics pipeline to the bitplanes, sends a final token, and blocks until that token has gone through the network and graphics pipeline, and an acknowledgment has been sent.  It is useful in the presence of network and pipeline delays. 

SEE ALSO

gflush

NOTE

This command can only be used in immediate mode.
