.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Calling \fBnewwin\fR creates and returns a pointer to a new window with the
|
|
given number of lines and columns. The upper left-hand corner of the window is
|
|
at line \fIbegin\fR_\fIy\fR, column \fIbegin\fR_\fIx\fR. If either
|
|
\fInlines\fR or \fIncols\fR is zero, they default to \fBLINES -\fR
|
|
\fIbegin\fR_\fIy\fR and \fBCOLS -\fR \fIbegin\fR_\fIx\fR. A new full-screen
|
|
window is created by calling \fBnewwin(0,0,0,0)\fR.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBdelwin\fR deletes the named window, freeing all memory
|
|
associated with it (it does not actually erase the window's screen
|
|
image). Subwindows must be deleted before the main window can be
|
|
deleted.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBmvwin\fR moves the window so that the upper left-hand
|
|
corner is at position (\fIx\fR, \fIy\fR). If the move would cause the
|
|
window to be off the screen, it is an error and the window is not
|
|
moved. Moving subwindows is allowed, but should be avoided.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBsubwin\fR creates and returns a pointer to a new window
|
|
with the given number of lines, \fInlines\fR, and columns,
|
|
\fIncols\fR. The window is at position (\fIbegin\fR_\fIy\fR,
|
|
\fIbegin\fR_\fIx\fR) on the screen. (This position is relative to the
|
|
screen, and not to the window \fIorig\fR.) The window is made in the
|
|
middle of the window \fIorig\fR, so that changes made to one window
|
|
will affect both windows. The subwindow shares memory with the window
|
|
\fIorig\fR. When using this routine, it is necessary to call
|
|
\fBtouchwin\fR or \fBtouchline\fR on \fIorig\fR before calling
|
|
\fBwrefresh\fR on the subwindow.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBderwin\fR is the same as calling \fBsubwin,\fR except that
|
|
\fIbegin\fR_\fIy\fR and \fIbegin\fR_\fIx\fR are relative to the origin
|
|
of the window \fIorig\fR rather than the screen. There is no
|
|
difference between the subwindows and the derived windows.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBmvderwin\fR moves a derived window (or subwindow)
|
|
inside its parent window. The screen-relative parameters of the
|
|
window are not changed. This routine is used to display different
|
|
parts of the parent window at the same physical position on the
|
|
screen.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBdupwin\fR creates an exact duplicate of the window \fIwin\fR.
|
|
|
|
Calling \fBwsyncup\fR touches all locations in ancestors of \fIwin\fR that are
|
|
changed in \fIwin\fR. If \fBsyncok\fR is called with second argument
|
|
\fBTRUE\fR then \fBwsyncup\fR is called automatically whenever there is a
|
|
change in the window.
|
|
|
|
The \fBwsyncdown\fR routine touches each location in \fIwin\fR that has been
|
|
touched in any of its ancestor windows. This routine is called by
|
|
\fBwrefresh\fR, so it should almost never be necessary to call it manually.
|
|
|
|
The routine \fBwcursyncup\fR updates the current cursor position of all the
|
|
ancestors of the window to reflect the current cursor position of the
|
|
window.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
Routines that return an integer return the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and
|
|
\fBOK\fR (SVr4 only specifies "an integer value other than \fBERR\fR") upon
|
|
successful completion.
|
|
|
|
\fBdelwin\fR returns the integer \fBERR\fR upon failure and \fBOK\fR
|
|
upon successful completion.
|
|
|
|
Routines that return pointers return \fBNULL\fR on error.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
If many small changes are made to the window, the \fBwsyncup\fR option could
|
|
degrade performance.
|
|
|
|
Note that \fBsyncok\fR may be a macro.
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The subwindow functions (\fIsubwin\fR, \fIderwin\fR, \fImvderwin\fR,
|
|
\fBwsyncup\fR, \fBwsyncdown\fR, \fBwcursyncup\fR, \fBsyncok\fR) are flaky,
|
|
incompletely implemented, and not well tested.
|
|
|
|
The System V curses documentation is very unclear about what \fBwsyncup\fR
|
|
and \fBwsyncdown\fR actually do. It seems to imply that they are only
|
|
supposed to touch exactly those lines that are affected by ancestor changes.
|
|
The language here, and the behavior of the \fBcurses\fR implementation,
|
|
is patterned on the XPG4 curses standard. The weaker XPG4 spec may result
|
|
in slower updates.
|
|
.SH PORTABILITY
|
|
The XSI Curses standard, Issue 4 describes these functions.
