Graphics Options and Device Parameters Dictionary |
Controls when the graphics stream file (GSF) is closed when you
are using the device driver to send graphics output to a hard copy device.
FILECLOSE=DRIVERTERM | GRAPHEND
|
-
DRIVERTERM
DRIVER
-
closes the GSF and makes it available to
the device after all graphs have been produced and the procedure or driver
terminates. A host command might be needed to actually send the GSF to the
device. Host commands can be specified with the DRVINIT or DRVTERM parameters
or entered in the Host File Options window of the device entry.
If multiple graphs are produced by a procedure, this
specification creates one large file. Specifying DRIVERTERM is appropriate
for batch processing because it is slightly more efficient to allocate the
file only once.
-
GRAPHEND
GRAPH
-
closes the GSF after each separate graph
is produced and releases it to the device before sending another. This method
creates smaller files if multiple graphs are produced by a procedure. You
can specify a command that sends the graph to the device with the POSTGRAPH
parameter or use the Host File Options window.
Specifying GRAPHEND is appropriate for drivers that
are used interactively, or for devices that require only one graph per physical
file.
