OVERLAY(3XCURSES)					     OVERLAY(3XCURSES)

NAME
       overlay, overwrite - copy overlapped windows

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -I /usr/xpg4/include  -L	/usr/xpg4/lib \
	-R  /usr/xpg4/lib  -lcurses  [ library... ]

       c89 [ flag... ] file... -lcurses [ library... ]

       #include <curses.h>

       int overlay(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);

       int overwrite(const WINDOW *srcwin, WINDOW *dstwin);

PARAMETERS
       srcwin
		 Is a pointer to the source window to be copied.

       dstwin
		 Is  a	pointer	 to  the destination window to be overlayed or
		 overwritten.

DESCRIPTION
       The overwrite() and overlay() functions overlay srcwin on top of	 dest‐
       win.  The  srcwin and dstwin arguments do not have to be the same size;
       only text where the two windows overlap is copied.

       The overwrite() function copies characters  as  though  a  sequence  of
       win_wch(3XCURSES) and wadd_wch(3XCURSES) were performed with the desti‐
       nation window's attributes and background attributes cleared.

       The overlay() function does the same thing,  except  that,  whenever  a
       character  to  be copied is the background character of the source win‐
       dow, overlay() does not copy the character but merely moves the	desti‐
       nation cursor the width of the source background character.

       If  any portion of the overlaying window border is not the first column
       of a multi-column character, then all  the  column  positions  will  be
       replaced with the background character and rendition before the overlay
       is done. If the default background character is a multi-column  charac‐
       ter when this occurs, then these functions fail.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon  successful completion, these functions return OK. Otherwise, they
       return ERR.

ERRORS
       No errors are defined.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Implement a pop-up dialog

       The following example demonstrates the use of overwrite() to  implement
       a pop-up dialog box.

	 #include <curses.h>
	 /*
	  *   Pop-up a window on top of curscr.	 If row and/or col
	  *   are -1 then that dimension will be centered within
	  *   curscr.  Return 0 for success or -1 if malloc() failed.
	  *   Pass back the working window and the saved window for the
	  *   pop-up.  The saved window should not be modified.
	  */
	 int
	 popup(work, save, nrows, ncols, row, col)
	 WINDOW **work, **save;
	 int nrows, ncols, row, col;
	 {
	      int mr, mc;
	      getmaxyx(curscr, mr, mc);
	      /* Windows are limited to the size of curscr. */
	      if (mr < nrows)
		   nrows = mr;
	      if (mc < ncols)
		   ncols = mc;
	      /* Center dimensions. */
	      if (row == -1)
		   row = (mr-nrows)/2;
	      if (col == -1)
		   col = (mc-ncols)/2;
	      /* The window must fit entirely in curscr. */
	      if (mr < row+nrows)
		   row = 0;
	      if (mc < col+ncols)
		   col = 0;
	      *work = newwin(nrows, ncols, row, col);
	      if (*work == NULL)
		   return (-1);
	      if ((*save = dupwin(*work)) == NULL) {
		   delwin(*work);
		   return (-1);
	      }
	      overwrite(curscr, *save);
	      return (0);
	 }
	 /*
	  * Restore the region covered by a pop-up window.
	  * Delete the working window and the saved window.
	  * This function is the complement to popup().	 Return
	  * 0 for success or -1 for an error.
