| interval | The time, in milliseconds, to remain in a waiting loop |
Notes
-
Pause() can be used to prevent Maptitude from getting ahead of other processes, such as printing a whole series of maps. It allows Maptitude to process and respond to Windows messages, such as a redraw request. The Task Manager would not declare Maptitude as "not responding."
