💅 NAME 💅

zap — erase all displayed objects from the graphics window. This is the ZAP(nged) manual page, bestie ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

zap
Z

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the zap command — also available as Z, iconic lowercase-to-uppercase moment — removes all objects from the current display. It is literally clearing the display list. The geometry stays in the database, no cap. Only the display list is cleared, periodt. After you run zap, the graphics window will be empty.

Use draw or e to display objects again. Simple as that 💖

No arguments are accepted. Providing any argument returns a usage error. Not me accepting extra little arguments, nope, it’s giving strict 💅

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

⭐ Example 1. Clear the display

mged> zap

Removes all currently displayed objects from the graphics window. The database is not modified. Your geometry is safe, bestie 🫶

⭐ Example 2. Clear and redisplay a specific object

mged> zap mged> draw hull.c

Clears the entire display, then draws only hull.c. Lowkey a clean-slate-and-one-main-character moment 👑
