DESCRIPTION

finish blocks the host process until all previous routines execute.  It forces all unsent routines the Geometry Pipeline to the bitplanes.  Then, it sends a final token and blocks the process until the token goes through the pipeline and an acknowledgment has been sent. 

finish is useful when there are network and pipeline delays.
