DELETEHANDLE(handle)

handle

An integer or series of integers, the object handles.

h = rectdraw(W1, 0.2, -0.5, 0.6, 1.0);

deletehandle(h)

Draws a rectangle in W1. The rectangle is deleted and removed from the window.

W1: gsin(100, .01);

rectdraw(W1, 0.2, -0.5, 0.6, 1.0);

ellipsedraw(W1, 0.6, -1.0, 0.8, 1.0);

text(W1, 0.2, 1.0, "Example Text");

h = findshape(w1);

deletehandle(h);

Draws a rectangle, an ellipse and text in W1. The rectangle and ellipse are deleted but the text is preserved.
