Close virtual world

Syntax

close(vrworld_object)

Arguments

vrworld_object

Avrworldobject representing the virtual world.

Description

This method changes the virtual world from an opened to a closed state:

  • If the world was opened more than once, you must use an appropriate number ofclosecalls before the virtual world closes.

  • Ifvrworld_objectis a vector ofvrworldobjects, all associated virtual worlds close.

  • If the virtual world is already closed,closedoes nothing.

Opening and closing virtual worlds is a mechanism of memory management. When the system needs more memory and the virtual world is closed, you can discard its contents at any time.

Generally, you should close a virtual world when you no longer need it. This allows you to reuse the memory it occupied. Thevrworldobjects associated with this virtual world stay valid after it is closed, so the virtual world can be opened again without creating a newvrworldobject.

Examples

myworld = vrworld('vrpend.wrl') open(myworld) close(myworld)
