Halt execution temporarily

Syntax

Description

pause, by itself, causes M-files to stop and wait for you to press any key before continuing.

pause(n) pauses execution for n seconds before continuing.

pause on allows subsequent pause commands to pause execution.

pause off ensures that any subsequent pause or pause(n) statements do not pause execution. This allows normally interactive scripts to run unattended.
