.Sh DESCRIPTION
2015-10-28 13:22:40 +03:00
Panels are initially created visible.
The function
.Fn hide_panel
can be used to hide a panel.
The panel is removed from the deck.
.Pp
A panel can be made visible again with a call to
.Fn show_panel .
The panel is returned to the top of the deck.
.Pp
2015-10-28 13:22:40 +03:00
The current visibility status of a panel can be queried with
.Fn panel_hidden .
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
The
.Fn show_panel
function will return an error if the panel is already visible.
Use
.Xr top_panel 3
to change z-order of an already visible panel.
This is the behaviour specified by the original
.At V
panel library.
.Pp
In the ncurses implementation of the panel library
.Fn show_panel
and
.Fn top_panel
are identical and handle both visible and hidden panels.
This may be a source of bugs in programs tested only against ncurses.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn panel_hidden
function returns
.Dv TRUE
or
.Dv FALSE .
It will return
.Dv ERR
if passed a null pointer.
.Pp
Other functions will return one of the following values:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv ERR" -compact
.It Dv OK
The function completed successfully.
.It Dv ERR
