newpad(3cur)															      newpad(3cur)

Name
       newpad - create new pad

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

       WINDOW *newpad(nlines, ncols)
       int nlines, ncols;

Description
       The  routine creates a new data structure.  A pad differs from a window in that it is not restricted by the screen size, and it is not nec-
       essarily associated with a particular part of the screen.  Pads can be used when large windows are needed.  Only part of the pad will be on
       the screen at any one time.

       Automatic refreshes of pads for example, from scrolling or echoing of input, do not occur.

       You cannot call the routine with a pad as an argument; use the routines or instead.

       Note  that these two routines require additional parameters to specify both the part of the pad to be displayed and the screen location for
       the display.

Return Values
       On success the function returns a pointer to the new WINDOW structure created.  On failure the function returns a null pointer.

Name
       prefresh, pnoutrefresh - refresh pad

Syntax
       #include <cursesX.h>

       int prefresh(pad, pminrow, pmincol, sminrow, smincol, smaxrow, smaxcol)
       WINDOW *pad;
       int pminrow, pmincol, sminrow, smincol, smaxrow, smaxcol;

       int pnoutrefresh(pad, pminrow, pmincol, sminrow, smincol, smaxrow, smaxcol)
       WINDOW *pad;
       int pminrow, pmincol, sminrow, smincol, smaxrow, smaxcol;

Description
       The routine copies the specified pad to the physical terminal screen.  It takes account of what is already displayed on the screen to opti-
       mize cursor movement.

       The routine copies the named pad to the virtual screen.	It then compares the virtual screen with the  physical	screen	and  performs  the
       actual update.

       These routines are analogous to the routines and except that pads, instead of windows, are involved.  Additional parameters are also needed
       to indicate what part of the pad and screen are involved.  The upper left corner of the part of the pad to be displayed is specified by and
       The co-ordinates and specify the edges of the screen rectangle that will contain the selected part of the pad.

       The  lower right corner of the pad rectangle to be displayed is calculated from the screen co-ordinates.  This ensures that the screen rec-
       tangle and the pad rectangle are the same size.

       Both rectangles must be entirely contained within their respective structures.

Return Values
       The and functions return OK on success and ERR on error.
