DESCRIPTION
Panels are curses(3X) windows with the added property of depth. Panel
functions allow the use of stacked windows and ensure that the proper
portions of each window and the curses stdscr window are hidden or dis‐
played when panels are added, moved, modified, or removed. The set of
currently visible panels is the stack of panels. The stdscr window is
beneath all panels, and is not considered part of the stack.
A window is associated with each panel. The panel routines enable you
to create, move, hide, and show panels. You can relocate a panel to
any desired position in the stack.
Panel routines are a functional layer added to curses, make only high-
level curses calls, and work anywhere curses does.
FUNCTIONS
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 re‐
moved 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 FALSE if the panel pan is in the panel stack,
and TRUE if it is not. If the panel is a null pointer, it returns ERR.
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 if, for example, 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 “PORTABILITY” below.
top_panel
top_panel(pan) puts the given visible panel pan on top of all panels in
the stack. See “PORTABILITY” 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 re‐
fresh the physical screen. Use this function and not wrefresh(3X) or
wnoutrefresh(3X).
update_panels may be called more than once before a call to doupdate,
but doupdate is the function responsible for updating the physical
screen.
RETURN VALUE
Each routine that returns a pointer returns NULL if an error occurs.
Each routine that returns an int value returns OK if it executes suc‐
cessfully and ERR if not.
Except as noted, the pan and window parameters must be non-null. If
either is null, an error is returned.
The move_panel function uses mvwin(3X), and returns ERR if mvwin re‐
turns ERR.

PORTABILITY
Reasonable care has been taken to ensure compatibility with the native
panel facility introduced in System V; inspection of the SVr4 manual
pages suggests the programming interface never changed. The PANEL data
structures are merely similar. The programmer is cautioned not to di‐
rectly use PANEL fields.
The functions show_panel and top_panel are identical in this implemen‐
tation, and work equally well with displayed or hidden panels. In the
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 Sys‐
tem V panel libraries.
HISTORY
A panel facility was documented in SVr4.2's Character User Interface
Programming document.
It is not part of X/Open Curses.
A few implementations exist:
• Systems based on SVr4 source code, such as Solaris, provide this
library.
• ncurses (since version 0.6 in 1993) and PDCurses (since version 2.2
in 1995) provide a panel library whose common ancestor is a public
domain implementation by Warren Tucker published in u386mon 2.20
(1990).
According to Tucker, the System V 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.
• NetBSD 8 (2018) has a panel library begun by Valery Ushakov in
2015, based on the System V documentation.
AUTHORS
Warren Tucker <wht@n4hgf.mt-park.ga.us> originally wrote this implemen‐
tation, primarily to assist in porting u386mon to systems without a na‐
tive panel library.
Zeyd ben-Halim repackaged it for ncurses.
Juergen Pfeifer and Thomas E. Dickey revised and improved the library.
