Description

DCLEAR clears the screen of a graphics device so that the next plot produced on this device by any of the high-resolution graphics or procedures will be drawn onto an empty screen. All information about the current display, for example axis mappings, is also cleared from memory. The DEVICE option indicates the device to be cleared; by default this is the current graphics device (as set by the DEVICE directive). The ENDACTION option controls what happens after clearing the screen. The default action is the setting specified by the most recent DEVICE statement.

Options: DEVICE, ENDACTION.

Parameters: none.
