XUnmapWindow(3X11)														XUnmapWindow(3X11)

NAME

       XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

SYNOPSIS

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

       XUnmapSubwindows(display, w)
	       Display *display;
	       Window w;

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies the connection to the X server.  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

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