WIND ( 3T ) ( AT&T UNIX PC only ) WIND (3T)
NAME
wind - creates and places a window
SYNOPSIS
#include
int
wind(type, height, width , flags, pfont)
int type, height, width;
short flags;
char *pfont[];
DESCRIPTION
Wind creates a window that is of height by width characters and
loads the window with the fonts listed in pfont. Unlike were ate ,
wind does not need specific coordinates to create a window but
creates one of three types of windows: W _POPUP (inside the
existing window), W_SON (overlapping the existing window), or
W _NEW (a new window that tries not to overlap the existing window).
The three types of windows are described in detail below.
W _poPUP makes the new window live "inside" the window
wncur. Inside is defined as completely within and centered.
Overflow goes down and to the right if possible.
W _SON makes the new window on the lower right corner if possible.
The overlap is determined based on the size of the window
wncur.
W_NEW creates a window in a new part of the display, avoiding
existing windows. This is slower and should only be used where
necessary.
EXAMPLES
menu_t *m;
int height, width, windop, wn;
height = 5;
width = 10;
if ( m - > m_flags & M_ WINSON )
windop = W _SON;
else if ( m - > m_fiags & M_ WINNEW )
windop = W _NEW;
else windop = W _POPUP;
wn = wind (windop, height, width, M_BORDFLAGS, 0 );
m -> m_win = wn;

DIAGNOSTICS
