<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
Panels are <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG> windows with the added feature of
depth. Panel functions allow the use of stacked windows
and ensure the proper portions of each window and the
curses <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG> window are hidden or displayed when panels
are added, moved, modified or removed. The set of cur-
rently visible panels is the stack of panels. The <STRONG>stdscr</STRONG>
window is beneath all panels, and is not considered part
of the stack.
A window is associated with every panel. The panel rou-
tines enable you to create, move, hide, and show panels,
as well as position a panel at any desired location in the
stack.
Panel routines are a functional layer added to <STRONG><A HREF="ncurses.3x.html">curses(3x)</A></STRONG>,
make only high-level curses calls, and work anywhere ter-
minfo curses does.
</PRE>
<H2>FUNCTIONS</H2><PRE>
<STRONG>new_panel(win)</STRONG>
allocates a <STRONG>PANEL</STRONG> structure, associates it with
<STRONG>win</STRONG>, places the panel on the top of the stack
(causes it to be displayed above any other
panel) and returns a pointer to the new panel.
<STRONG>update_panels()</STRONG>
refreshes the virtual screen to reflect the rela-
tions between the panels in the stack, but does not
call doupdate() to refresh the physical screen.
Use this function and not <STRONG>wrefresh</STRONG> or <STRONG>wnoutrefresh</STRONG>.
<STRONG>update_panels</STRONG> may be called more than once before a
call to doupdate(), but doupdate() is the function
responsible for updating the physical screen.
<STRONG>del_panel(pan)</STRONG>
removes the given panel from the stack and deallo-
cates the <STRONG>PANEL</STRONG> structure (but not its associated
window).
<STRONG>hide_panel(pan)</STRONG>
removes the given panel from the panel stack and
thus hides it from view. The <STRONG>PANEL</STRONG> structure is not
lost, merely removed from the stack.
<STRONG>panel_hidden(pan)</STRONG>
returns TRUE if the panel is in the panel stack,
FALSE if it is not. If the panel is a null
pointer, return ERR.
<STRONG>show_panel(pan)</STRONG>
makes a hidden panel visible by placing it on top
of the panels in the panel stack. See COMPATIBILITY
below.
<STRONG>top_panel(pan)</STRONG>
puts the given visible panel on top of all panels
in the stack. See COMPATIBILITY below.
<STRONG>bottom_panel(pan)</STRONG>
puts panel at the bottom of all panels.
<STRONG>move_panel(pan,starty,startx)</STRONG>
moves the given panel window so that its upper-left
corner is at <STRONG>starty</STRONG>, <STRONG>startx</STRONG>. It does not change
the position of the panel in the stack. Be sure to
use this function, not <STRONG>mvwin()</STRONG>, to move a panel
window.
<STRONG>replace_panel(pan,window)</STRONG>
replaces the current window of panel with <STRONG>window</STRONG>
(useful, for example if you want to resize a panel;
if you're using <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG>, you can call <STRONG>replace_panel</STRONG>
on the output of <STRONG><A HREF="wresize.3x.html">wresize(3x)</A></STRONG>). It does not change
the position of the panel in the stack.
<STRONG>panel_above(pan)</STRONG>
returns a pointer to the panel above pan. If the
panel argument is <STRONG>(PANEL</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0</STRONG>, it returns a pointer
to the bottom panel in the stack.
<STRONG>panel_below(pan)</STRONG>
returns a pointer to the panel just below pan. If
the panel argument is <STRONG>(PANEL</STRONG> <STRONG>*)0</STRONG>, it returns a
pointer to the top panel in the stack.
<STRONG>set_panel_userptr(pan,ptr)</STRONG>
sets the panel's user pointer.
<STRONG>panel_userptr(pan)</STRONG>
returns the user pointer for a given panel.
<STRONG>panel_window(pan)</STRONG>
returns a pointer to the window of the given panel.
</PRE>
<H2>DIAGNOSTICS</H2><PRE>
Each routine that returns a pointer returns <STRONG>NULL</STRONG> if an
error occurs. Each routine that returns an int value
returns <STRONG>OK</STRONG> if it executes successfully and <STRONG>ERR</STRONG> if not.
</PRE>
<H2>COMPATIBILITY</H2><PRE>
Reasonable care has been taken to ensure compatibility
with the native panel facility introduced in SVr3.2
(inspection of the SVr4 manual pages suggests the
programming interface is unchanged). The <STRONG>PANEL</STRONG> data
structures are merely similar. The programmer is cau-
tioned not to directly use <STRONG>PANEL</STRONG> fields.
The functions <STRONG>show_panel()</STRONG> and <STRONG>top_panel()</STRONG> are identical
in this implementation, and work equally well with dis-
played or hidden panels. In the native System V implemen-
tation, <STRONG>show_panel()</STRONG> is intended for making a hidden panel
visible (at the top of the stack) and <STRONG>top_panel()</STRONG> is
intended for making an already-visible panel move to the
top of the stack. You are cautioned to use the correct
function to ensure compatibility with native panel
libraries.
</PRE>
<H2>NOTE</H2><PRE>
In your library list, libpanel.a should be before libn-
curses.a; that is, you want to say `-lpanel -lncurses',
not the other way around (which would usually give a link-
error).
