SYNOPSIS

zq

DESCRIPTION

The zq command stops C-PLOT from echoing the characters you type at the keyboard to the screen and stops it from printing any messages on the screen for as long the filter is open. Only the output of graphics filters will be displayed. This can be useful with some filter programs that use the terminal as their display device.

The quiet-mode state is passed to user functions, so that they will not write to the screen when quiet-mode is on. However, output from a subshell created with u will be written to the screen.

If the filter is being kept open with the zw command, once quiet mode is turned on it will stay on until the filter is closed with the zx or zs commands, another filter is initialized with the zi command, you interrupt a command with ^C or you exit C-PLOT.

For general information on graphics filters, see the filters help file.
