FUNCTIONS

-       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.
-
-       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.
-
-       panel_hidden(pan)
-              returns  TRUE if the panel is in the panel stack, FALSE if it is
-              not.  If the panel is a null pointer, return ERR.
-
-       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.
+

bottom_panel

+       bottom_panel(pan) puts panel pan at the bottom of all panels.
+
+
+

ceiling_panel

+       ceiling_panel(sp) acts like panel_below(NULL), for the given SCREEN sp.
+
+
+

del_panel

+       del_panel(pan)  removes the given panel pan from the  stack and deallo-
+       cates the PANEL structure (but not its associated window).
+
+
+

ground_panel

+       ground_panel(sp) acts like panel_above(NULL), for the given SCREEN sp.
+
+
+

hide_panel

+       hide_panel(pan) removes the given panel pan from the  panel  stack  and
+       thus  hides  it  from  view.   The  PANEL structure is not lost, merely
+       removed from the stack.
+
+
+

move_panel

+       move_panel(pan,starty,startx) moves the given  panel  pan's  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(3x), to move a panel window.
+
+
+

new_panel

+       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.
+
+
+

panel_above

+       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

+       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.
+
+
+

panel_hidden

+       panel_hidden(pan)  returns TRUE if the panel pan is in the panel stack,
+       FALSE if it is not.  If the panel is a null pointer, return ERR.
 
-       panel_userptr(pan)
-              returns the user pointer for a given panel.
 
-       panel_window(pan)
-              returns a pointer to the window of the given panel.
+

panel_userptr

+       panel_userptr(pan) returns the user pointer for a given panel pan.
+
+
+

panel_window

+       panel_window(pan) returns a pointer to the window of  the  given  panel
+       pan.
+
+
+

replace_panel

+       replace_panel(pan,window) replaces the current window of panel pan with
+       window This is useful, for example if you want to resize a  panel.   In
+       ncurses,  you  can  call replace_panel to resize a panel using a window
+       resized with wresize(3x).  It does not change the position of the panel
+       in the stack.
+
+
+

set_panel_userptr

+       set_panel_userptr(pan,ptr) sets the panel's user pointer.
+

show_panel

+       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

+       top_panel(pan) puts the given visible panel pan on top of all panels in
+       the stack.  See COMPATIBILITY below.

+
+

update_panels

+       update_panels()  refreshes  the virtual screen to reflect the relations
+       between the panels in the stack, but  does  not  call  doupdate(3x)  to
+       refresh the physical screen.  Use this function and not wrefresh(3x) or

+       update_panels may be called more than once before a call  to  doupdate,
+       but  doupdate  is  the  function  responsible for updating the physical
