GOPTIONS: PROMPT | NOPROMPT |
GDEVICE: PROMPT=0...7 |
suppresses all prompts. NOPROMPT overrides the GWAIT= graphics option.
in the GDEVICE procedure, specifies the level of prompting:
Note: If you specify either 0 for the PROMPT device parameter or NOPROMPT in a GOPTIONS statement for a display device, the display clears immediately after the graph is drawn.
In the GDEVICE Parameters window, the PROMPT parameter consists of four fields that describe the type of prompt:
issues a message to turn the device on (if the device is a hardcopy device) or the message PLEASE PRESS RETURN AFTER EACH BELL TO CONTINUE.
signals, usually by a bell, when the graph is complete (valid for video displays only).
issues a message to mount pens in a certain order and (for certain devices only) to ask for pen priming strokes for plotters.
prompts the user to change the paper (valid for plotters only).
Enter an X for each prompt that you want to be given. If no Xs appear in these fields, no prompt messages are issued, and the device does not wait for you to respond between graphs.
