GDELETE Call

deletes a graphics segment

CALL GDELETE( segment-name);

where segment-name is a character matrix or quoted literal containing the name of the segment.

The GDELETE subroutine searches the current catalog and deletes the first segment found with the name segment-name.

An example of a valid statement follows:

  
       /* SEG_A is defined as a character matrix        */ 
       /* that contains the name of the segment to delete */ 
    call gdelete(seg_a);
 

The segment can also be specified as a quoted literal, as follows:

  
    call delete("plot_13");
