GNU Info (gnuplot.info)pauseThe `pause` command displays any text associated with the command and then waits a specified amount of time or until the carriage return is pressed. `pause` is especially useful in conjunction with `load` (Note: load ) files. Syntax: pause <time> {"<string>"} <time> may be any integer constant or expression. Choosing -1 will wait until a carriage return is hit, zero (0) won't pause at all, and a positive integer will wait the specified number of seconds. `pause 0` is synonymous with `print` (Note: print ). Note: Since `pause` communicates with the operating system rather than the graphics, it may behave differently with different device drivers (depending upon how text and graphics are mixed). Examples: pause -1 # Wait until a carriage return is hit pause 3 # Wait three seconds pause -1 "Hit return to continue" pause 10 "Isn't this pretty? It's a cubic spline." automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
