NAME

finish - waits until the terminal command queue and Geometry Pipeline are empty

SPECIFICATION

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 Geometry Pipeline to the bitplanes, sends a final token, and blocks until that token has gone through the 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 be used only in immediate mode on the IRIS Terminal.
