DESCRIPTION

-       Panels  are  curses(3x)  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 stdscr 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  stdscr
-       window  is  beneath all panels, and is not considered part
-       of the stack.

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.

+              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  rela-
-              tions 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.

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

+              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.

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

-              corner is at starty, startx.  It  does  not  change
-              the position of the panel in the stack.  Be sure to

        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

        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.

+              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.
+              returns a pointer to the panel just below  pan.   If  the  panel

+              the stack.

               sets the panel's user pointer.

DIAGNOSTICS

-       Each  routine  that  returns  a pointer returns NULL if an
-       error occurs. Each  routine  that  returns  an  int  value
-       returns OK if it executes successfully and ERR if not.

COMPATIBILITY

-       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 program-
-       ming interface is unchanged).  The PANEL  data  structures
-       are  merely   similar. The  programmer is cautioned not to
-       directly use PANEL fields.
-
-       The functions show_panel and top_panel  are  identical  in
-       this  implementation, and work equally well with displayed
-       or hidden panels.  In the native System V  implementation,
-       show_panel  is  intended for making a hidden panel visible
-       (at the top of the stack) and top_panel  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.
