NAME

       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNTAX

       int XUnmapWindow(Display *display, Window w);

       int XUnmapSubwindows(Display *display, Window w);

ARGUMENTS

       display   Specifies the connection to the X server.

       w         Specifies the window.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XUnmapWindow function unmaps the specified window and causes the X server to generate an UnmapNotify
       event.  If the specified window is  already  unmapped,  XUnmapWindow  has  no  effect.   Normal  exposure
       processing  on  formerly obscured windows is performed.  Any child window will no longer be visible until
       another map call is made on the parent.  In other words, the subwindows are  still  mapped  but  are  not
       visible  until the parent is mapped.  Unmapping a window will generate Expose events on windows that were
       formerly obscured by it.

       XUnmapWindow can generate a BadWindow error.

       The XUnmapSubwindows function unmaps all subwindows for the specified window  in  bottom-to-top  stacking
       order.   It  causes  the X server to generate an UnmapNotify event on each subwindow and Expose events on
       formerly obscured windows.  Using this function is much more efficient than  unmapping  multiple  windows
       one  at  a  time  because the server needs to perform much of the work only once, for all of the windows,
       rather than for each window.

       XUnmapSubwindows can generate a BadWindow error.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window.
