VWait:Void frames:Int32=1

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
frames	In	Int32	1	How many frames to wait for. Defaults to 1.

Description

Waits for the display to finish showing a picture, which is used to keep a program at the speed of the display.

Differences

• There is no vertical blank to wait for, so VWait waits 16 milliseconds for each frame (60 frames per second). Use Flip with vwait for the real display timing.

Examples

Graphics 320, 240, 0, 2
Local t = MilliSecs()
VWait 30
Print "30 frames took " + (MilliSecs() - t) + " ms"
WaitKey
