ttgreek
Description
Specifies that a given text stream should be 'greeked' when the screen is redrawn. Greeked text is drawn as grey boxes and can significantly improve the speed of operation of PTC ALD when many streams are involved (e.g. in a newspaper layout).
Example 298. 'Greek' the current text stream
The following macro 'greeks' the contents of the current text stream and then redraws the screen:
ttgreek:wdr
Example 299. View strm0 in greeked form
The example below specifies that stream strm0 should be greeked: the screen is then redrawn with the wdr macro.
ttgreek "strm0":wdr
