<H2>suspendall</H2>
<HR>
Suspend normal display refresh on all windows until the invocation
of a corresponding <B>resumeall</B> command.

<H3>Usage:</H3>

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>suspendall</B> command is a script that invokes the command
<B>update suspend</B> on all layout windows. It is used in
conjunction with the <B>resumeall</B> command and is intended
for use in Tcl scripts that perform multiple manipulations on
layout in a window, where it is desired to have the entire
display refresh at one time at the end of the script rather than
for each command within the script. <P>
Because the <B>update</B> command can be nested, calls to
<B>suspendall</B> and <B>resumeall</B> are likewise nested.
<B>resumeall</B> does not resume the window refresh until
it has been called the same number of times as <B>suspendall</B>
was called.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>suspendall</B> is implemented as a Tcl procedure in the "tools"
script.
