WShow Procedure

Exposes or hides the designated window.

Usage

WShow [, window_index [, show]] 

Input Parameters

window_index — (optional) The window index of the window to be hidden or exposed. If not specified, the current window is used.

show — (optional) A flag indicating whether a window is hidden or exposed:

0 — Hides the window.

1 — Exposes the window.

Keywords

Iconic — (UNIX Only) If present and nonzero, turns the window into an icon.

Discussion

WSHOW does not automatically make the specified window the active window — the window into which new graphics are drawn. You can use WSet to specify the active window.

Note:

The definition of “hidden” is machine-dependent. On Sun Workstations, for example, the window disappears, although it can still be written to if it is the active window. On machines supporting the X Window System server, the window is simply pushed to the back of the window display list so that it appears to be located behind other windows on the display.
