PANELS(3CURSES)						       PANELS(3CURSES)

NAME
       panels - character based panels package

SYNOPSIS
       #include <panel.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  panel  library  is built using the curses library, and any program
       using panels routines must call one of the curses  initialization  rou‐
       tines  such as initscr. A program using these routines must be compiled
       with -lpanel and -lcurses on the cc command line.

       The panels package gives the applications  programmer  a	 way  to  have
       depth  relationships between curses windows; a curses window is associ‐
       ated with every panel. The panels  routines  allow  curses  windows  to
       overlap	without	 making	 visible the overlapped portions of underlying
       windows.	 The initial curses window, stdscr, lies beneath  all  panels.
       The set of currently visible panels is the deck of panels.

       The panels package allows the applications programmer to create panels,
       fetch and set their associated windows, shuffle panels in the deck, and
       manipulate panels in other ways.
