Details

If a script calls multiple plots functions, National Instruments recommends that you add deferdraw on to the beginning of the script and deferdraw off to the end of the script in order to limit the amount of times the plot window refreshes.

This function is not supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. This function can remain in your scripts when you build a stand-alone application or shared library, but the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine does not execute this function.

Examples

X = [0:0.01:1];
Y = X.*X;
deferdraw on
plot(X, Y, 'bo-')
title('title')
text(3, 5, 'text-35')
grid
figure
plot3(X, Y, Y, 'rx--')
deferdraw off
