.Sh DESCRIPTION
2015-10-29 05:36:01 +03:00
The
.Fn update_panels
function performs the internal processing required by the panel
library to determine what changes need to be made to synchronise
2015-10-29 09:57:34 +03:00
the curses internal screen buffer and the terminal but does not
modify the terminal display.
2015-10-29 05:36:01 +03:00
.Pp
2015-10-29 09:57:34 +03:00
This function will internally perform the required calls to
2015-10-29 05:36:01 +03:00
.Xr touchoverlap 3
and
.Xr wnoutrefresh 3
in the correct order.
You should never directly call curses functions like
.Xr wnoutrefresh 3
on panel windows yourself.
Remember, that
.Dv stdscr
is below all panels and any changes to it also require calling
.Fn update_panels .
.Pp
2015-10-29 09:57:34 +03:00
Finally, call the curses function
2015-10-29 05:36:01 +03:00
.Xr doupdate 3
to update the terminal display.
