ETI panels

ETI panels

Recall that a window is a rectangular area of the terminal screen on which you can write using the low-level ETI (curses) routines. You can create many windows on a screen, but if they overlap, portions of some windows intended to be hidden may nonetheless be visible when you use the low-level routines alone. To solve this problem, ETI uses the notion of a panel--a rectangle of text with depth.

Panels have depth only in relation to other panels and stdscr, which lies beneath all panels. The set of non-hidden panels comprises the ``deck'' of panels.
