Deleting Graphics from Memory

Deleting Graphics from Memory

The
^ID
 (Item Delete) command deletes objects, images, fonts, and formats from storage areas selectively or in groups. This command can be used within a printing format to delete objects just prior to saving new ones or can be in a stand-alone type format simply to delete objects.
The object name and extension support the use of the asterisk (*) as a wildcard. This allows for easy deletion of selected groups of objects.
The following are various examples of using the
^ID
 command.
To delete just stored formats from DRAM:
^XA^IDR:*.ZPL^XZ
To delete formats and images named SAMPLE from DRAM regardless of the extension:
^XA^IDR:SAMPLE.*^XZ
To delete the image SAMPLE1.GRF prior to storing SAMPLE2.GRF:
^XA 
^FO25,25^AD,18,10^FDDelete^FS 
^FO25,45^AD,18,10^FDthen Save^FS 
^IDR:SAMPLE1.GRF^FS 
^ISR:SAMPLE2.GRF^FS 
^XZ
To delete everything from DRAM:
^XA^IDR:*.*^XZ
