NAME

XUnmapWindow — unmap a window. 

SYNOPSIS

XUnmapWindow(display, w) Display ∗display; Window w;

ARGUMENTS

displaySpecifies a connection to an X server; returned from XOpenDisplay(). 

wSpecifies the window ID. 

DESCRIPTION

XUnmapWindow() removes w and all its descendants from the screen (but does not unmap the descendents).  If w is already unmapped, XUnmapWindow() has no effect.  Otherwise, w is unmapped and an UnmapNotify event is generated.  Normal exposure processing on formerly obscured windows is performed. 

Descendants of w will not be visible until w is mapped again.  In other words, the subwindows are still mapped, but are not visible because w is unmapped.  Unmapping a window will generate exposure events on windows that were formerly obscured by w. 

For more information on window mapping, see Volume One, Chapter 2, X Concepts.
