-<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.

+ The panel facility was documented in SVr4.2 in <EM>Character</EM> <EM>User</EM> <EM>Interface</EM>
+ <EM>Programming</EM> <EM>(UNIX</EM> <EM>SVR4.2)</EM>.
+
+ It is not part of X/Open Curses.
+
+ A few implementations exist:
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> Systems based on SVr4 source code, e.g., Solaris, provide this
+ library.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>ncurses</STRONG> (since version 0.6 in 1993) and <STRONG>PDCurses</STRONG> (since version 2.2
+ in 1995) provide a panel library whose common ancestor was a public
+ domain implementation by Warren Tucker published in <EM>u386mon</EM> 2.20
+ (1990).
+
+ According to Tucker, the SystemV panel library was first released
+ in SVr3.2 (1988), and his implementation helped with a port to
+ SVr3.1 (1987).
+
+ Several developers have improved each of these; they are no longer
+ the same as Tucker's implementation.
+
+ <STRONG>o</STRONG> NetBSD 8 (2018) has a panel library begun by Valery Ushakov in
+ 2015. This is based on the AT&T documentation.
