| new_panel(win) |
| | allocates a PANEL structure, associates it with win, 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. |
| void update_panels() |
| | refreshes the virtual screen to reflect the relations between the panels in the stack, but does not call doupdate() to refresh the physical screen. Use this function and not wrefresh or wnoutrefresh. update_panels() may be called more than once before a call to doupdate(), but doupdate() is the function responsible for updating the physical screen. |
| del_panel(pan) |
| | removes the given panel from the stack and deallocates the PANEL structure (but not its associated window). |
| hide_panel(pan) |
| | removes the given panel from the panel stack and thus hides it from view. The PANEL structure is not lost, merely removed from the stack. |
| show_panel(pan) |
| | makes a hidden panel visible by placing it on top of the panels in the panel stack. See COMPATIBILITY below. |
| top_panel(pan) |
| | puts the given visible panel on top of all panels in the stack. See COMPATIBILITY below. |
| bottom_panel(pan) |
| | puts panel at the bottom of all panels. |
| move_panel(pan,starty,startx) |
| | moves the given panel window so that its upper-left corner is at starty, startx. It does not change the position of the panel in the stack. Be sure to use this function, not mvwin(), to move a panel window. |
| replace_panel(pan,window) |
| | replaces the current window of panel with window (useful, for example if you want to resize a panel; if you’re using ncurses, you can call replace_panel on the output of wresize(3X)). It does not change the position of the panel in the stack. |
| panel_above(pan) |
| | returns a pointer to the panel above pan. If the panel argument is (PANEL *)0, it returns a pointer to the bottom panel in the stack. |
| panel_below(pan) |
| | returns a pointer to the panel just below pan. If the panel argument is (PANEL *)0, it returns a pointer to the top panel in the stack. |
| set_panel_userptr(pan,ptr) |
| | sets the panel’s user pointer. |
| panel_userptr(pan) |
| | returns the user pointer for a given panel. |
| panel_window(pan) |
| | returns a pointer to the window of the given panel. |
