{{CodeBox|'''function''' queue(''function'', ''...'') ''':''' void}}

Queues the given function to be called from the main thread.

Any additional arguments are passed to the function when it is called. Unlike synchronize, queue does not wait for the function to finish and does not return a result.

Before freeing the calling thread, make sure to synchronize and call checkSynchronize(). If the thread is freed before the queued function is executed, the queue will be emptied and the queued function will not run. Because of this, using queue is not recommended without setting freeOnTerminate to false.
