NAME zx - close filter
SYNOPSIS zx
DESCRIPTION Closing the filter tells the filter
process that the current plot is finished. If the filter is
associated with a printer, zx will send the current
plot to the printer. You generally use zx to close
a filter after using zw to keep it open.
On video terminals that have separate text and graphics
modes, zx is the recommended command for switching
from text to graphics in order to view an existing plot. Typing
a second <return> switches the screen back to
text mode.
The synchronized close command zs works like
zx but makes sure the filter has flushed all of its
output before control returns to the plot program. The
zs command should be used instead of zx
if the text and/or graphics are getting garbled.
For general information on graphics filters, see the
filters help file.
