RAPTOR flowchart useful tips

Overview

In this tutorial, we will discuss some useful tips in RAPTOR flowcharts. Some of the tips that are discussed are clear the console window before the flowchart run, print on the same line, make the flowchart wait, etc.

Clear Console

To clear the Master console window, we can call the procedure Clear_Console in the flowchart. When the procedure executes it clears the master console window. Any previous run outputs would be cleared on the console.

Print on the same line

To print the upcoming output statement output on the same line, turn off the “End current line” switch. If we uncheck this switch the next output will be printed on the same line.

Waits

We can use delay_for(seconds) procedure to make the window wait for the specified number of seconds. When we create graphics using Raptor this function is useful to create some animation effects.
