Attribute Summary:
Description:
This command allows you to determine if the vectors used for Instrument BASIC graphics are stored in
memory.
Send DISPlay:PROGram:VECTor:BUFFer ON if you want to store all vectors created with DRAW
statements in memory.
Send DISPlay:PROGram:VECTor:BUFFer OFF if you want to disable the storing of the vectors. The
vectors created by DRAW statements are not stored in memory.
When lines are drawn by Instrument BASIC graphics statements, line, endpoint coordinates and pen
choice information is saved in memory for every line segment drawn. The information is stored in
memory so that the display can be correctly redrawn when the display partition is turned off then back on
with the DISP:PROG[:MODE] command.
Using the Instrument BASIC graphics statements to create animated graphics can take up a large amount
of memory. An animated graphic "moves," lines are constantly drawn, erased, and then redrawn to
indicate movement. Due to the amount of memory required, you probably do not want to store vectors in
an animated graphic.
