12098 | 44 A @dfn{window} in Emacs is the physical area of the screen in which a |
45 buffer is displayed. The term is also used to refer to a Lisp object that | |
6564 | 46 represents that screen area in Emacs Lisp. It should be |
47 clear from the context which is meant. | |
48 | |
12098 | 49 Emacs groups windows into frames. A frame represents an area of |
50 screen available for Emacs to use. Each frame always contains at least | |
51 one window, but you can subdivide it vertically or horizontally into | |
52 multiple nonoverlapping Emacs windows. | |
6564 | 53 |

55 @dfn{selected within the frame}. The frame's cursor appears in that | |

12098 | 67 For practical purposes, a window exists only while it is displayed in |
68 a frame. Once removed from the frame, the window is effectively deleted | |
69 and should not be used, @emph{even though there may still be references | |
70 to it} from other Lisp objects. Restoring a saved window configuration | |
71 is the only way for a window no longer on the screen to come back to | |
72 life. (@xref{Deleting Windows}.) | |

118 Users create multiple windows so they can look at several buffers at | |
119 once. Lisp libraries use multiple windows for a variety of reasons, but | |
12098 | 120 most often to display related information. In Rmail, for example, you |
121 can move through a summary buffer in one window while the other window | |
122 shows messages one at a time as they are reached. | |

12098 | 126 The X Window System places X windows on the screen; Emacs uses one or |
127 more X windows as frames, and subdivides them into | |
128 Emacs windows. When you use Emacs on a character-only terminal, Emacs | |

153 The functions described here are the primitives used to split a window | |
154 into two windows. Two higher level functions sometimes split a window, | |
155 but not always: @code{pop-to-buffer} and @code{display-buffer} | |
156 (@pxref{Displaying Buffers}). | |
157 | |
158 The functions described here do not accept a buffer as an argument. | |
159 The two ``halves'' of the split window initially display the same buffer | |
160 previously visible in the window that was split. | |

164 window @var{window} remains the selected window, but occupies only | |
165 part of its former screen area. The rest is occupied by a newly created | |
166 window which is returned as the value of this function. | |

552 @cindex window ordering, cyclic |
6564 | 553 |
554 When you use the command @kbd{C-x o} (@code{other-window}) to select | |
555 the next window, it moves through all the windows on the screen in a | |
556 specific cyclic order. For any given configuration of windows, this | |
557 order never varies. It is called the @dfn{cyclic ordering of windows}. | |
558 | |
559 This ordering generally goes from top to bottom, and from left to | |
560 right. But it may go down first or go right first, depending on the | |
561 order in which the windows were split. | |
562 | |
563 If the first split was vertical (into windows one above each other), | |
564 and then the subwindows were split horizontally, then the ordering is | |
565 left to right in the top of the frame, and then left to right in the | |
566 next lower part of the frame, and so on. If the first split was | |
567 horizontal, the ordering is top to bottom in the left part, and so on. | |
568 In general, within each set of siblings at any level in the window tree, | |
569 the order is left to right, or top to bottom. | |
570 | |

575 if typed when @var{window} is selected. If @var{window} is the only |
6564 | 576 window visible, then this function returns @var{window}. If omitted, |
577 @var{window} defaults to the selected window. | |
578 | |
579 The value of the argument @var{minibuf} determines whether the | |
580 minibuffer is included in the window order. Normally, when | |
581 @var{minibuf} is @code{nil}, the minibuffer is included if it is | |
582 currently active; this is the behavior of @kbd{C-x o}. (The minibuffer | |
583 window is active while the minibuffer is in use. @xref{Minibuffers}.) | |
584 | |
585 If @var{minibuf} is @code{t}, then the cyclic ordering includes the | |
586 minibuffer window even if it is not active. | |
587 | |
588 If @var{minibuf} is neither @code{t} nor @code{nil}, then the minibuffer | |
589 window is not included even if it is active. | |
590 | |
591 The argument @var{all-frames} specifies which frames to consider. Here | |
592 are the possible values and their meanings: | |
593 | |
594 @table @asis | |
595 @item @code{nil} | |

853 other buffer, but you don't specify which. |
6564 | 854 |
855 If the variable @code{pop-up-frames} is non-@code{nil}, | |
856 @code{pop-to-buffer} looks for a window in any visible frame already | |
857 displaying the buffer; if there is one, it returns that window and makes | |
858 it be selected within its frame. If there is none, it creates a new | |
859 frame and displays the buffer in it. | |
860 | |
861 If @code{pop-up-frames} is @code{nil}, then @code{pop-to-buffer} | |
862 operates entirely within the selected frame. (If the selected frame has | |
863 just a minibuffer, @code{pop-to-buffer} operates within the most | |
864 recently selected frame that was not just a minibuffer.) | |
865 | |
866 If the variable @code{pop-up-windows} is non-@code{nil}, windows may | |
867 be split to create a new window that is different from the original | |
868 window. For details, see @ref{Choosing Window}. | |
869 | |
870 If @var{other-window} is non-@code{nil}, @code{pop-to-buffer} finds or | |
871 creates another window even if @var{buffer-or-name} is already visible | |
872 in the selected window. Thus @var{buffer-or-name} could end up | |
873 displayed in two windows. On the other hand, if @var{buffer-or-name} is | |
874 already displayed in the selected window and @var{other-window} is | |
875 @code{nil}, then the selected window is considered sufficient display | |
876 for @var{buffer-or-name}, so that nothing needs to be done. | |
877 | |
12098 | 878 All the variables that affect @code{display-buffer} affect |
879 @code{pop-to-buffer} as well. @xref{Choosing Window}. | |
880 | |
6564 | 881 If @var{buffer-or-name} is a string that does not name an existing |
12067 | 882 buffer, a buffer by that name is created. The major mode for the new |
883 buffer is set according to the variable @code{default-major-mode}. | |
884 @xref{Auto Major Mode}. | |

6564 | 945 Precisely how @code{display-buffer} finds or creates a window depends on |
946 the variables described below. | |
947 @end deffn | |
948 | |
30665 | 949 @defopt display-buffer-reuse-frames |
950 If this variable is non-@code{nil}, @code{display-buffer} searches | |
951 existing frames for a window displaying the buffer. If the buffer is | |
952 already displayed in a window in some frame, @code{display-buffer} makes | |
953 the frame visible and raises it, to use that window. If the buffer is | |
954 not already displayed, or if @code{display-buffer-reuse-frames} is | |
955 @code{nil}, @code{display-buffer}'s behavior is determined by other | |
956 variables, described below. | |
957 @end defopt | |
958 | |
6564 | 959 @defopt pop-up-windows |
960 This variable controls whether @code{display-buffer} makes new windows. | |
961 If it is non-@code{nil} and there is only one window, then that window | |
962 is split. If it is @code{nil}, then @code{display-buffer} does not | |
963 split the single window, but uses it whole. | |
964 @end defopt | |
965 | |
966 @defopt split-height-threshold | |
967 This variable determines when @code{display-buffer} may split a window, | |
968 if there are multiple windows. @code{display-buffer} always splits the | |
969 largest window if it has at least this many lines. If the largest | |
970 window is not this tall, it is split only if it is the sole window and | |
971 @code{pop-up-windows} is non-@code{nil}. | |
972 @end defopt | |
973 | |
34269 | 974 @defopt even-window-heights |
975 This variable determines if @code{display-buffer} should even out window | |
976 heights if the buffer gets displayed in an existing window, above or | |
977 beneath another existing window. If @code{even-window-heights} is | |
978 @code{t}, the default, window heights will be evened out. If | |
48700 | 979 @code{even-window-heights} is @code{nil}, the original window heights |
34269 | 980 will be left alone. |
34307 | 981 @end defopt |
34269 | 982 |
6564 | 983 @c Emacs 19 feature |
984 @defopt pop-up-frames | |
985 This variable controls whether @code{display-buffer} makes new frames. | |
986 If it is non-@code{nil}, @code{display-buffer} looks for an existing | |
987 window already displaying the desired buffer, on any visible frame. If | |
988 it finds one, it returns that window. Otherwise it makes a new frame. | |
989 The variables @code{pop-up-windows} and @code{split-height-threshold} do | |
990 not matter if @code{pop-up-frames} is non-@code{nil}. | |
991 | |
992 If @code{pop-up-frames} is @code{nil}, then @code{display-buffer} either | |
993 splits a window or reuses one. | |

1278 @var{position} in @var{window}'s buffer. It returns @var{position}. |
6564 | 1279 |
1280 The display routines insist that the position of point be visible when a | |
1281 buffer is displayed. Normally, they change the display-start position | |
1282 (that is, scroll the window) whenever necessary to make point visible. | |
1283 However, if you specify the start position with this function using | |
1284 @code{nil} for @var{noforce}, it means you want display to start at | |
1285 @var{position} even if that would put the location of point off the | |
1286 screen. If this does place point off screen, the display routines move | |
1287 point to the left margin on the middle line in the window. | |
1288 | |
1289 For example, if point @w{is 1} and you set the start of the window @w{to | |
1290 2}, then point would be ``above'' the top of the window. The display | |
1291 routines will automatically move point if it is still 1 when redisplay | |
1292 occurs. Here is an example: | |
1293 | |
1294 @example | |
1295 @group | |
1296 ;; @r{Here is what @samp{foo} looks like before executing} | |
1297 ;; @r{the @code{set-window-start} expression.} | |
1298 @end group | |

1317 | |
1318 @group | |
1319 ;; @r{Here is what @samp{foo} looks like after executing} | |

1329 @end group | |
1330 @end example | |
1331 | |
1332 If @var{noforce} is non-@code{nil}, and @var{position} would place point | |
1333 off screen at the next redisplay, then redisplay computes a new window-start | |
1334 position that works well with point, and thus @var{position} is not used. | |

1385 scrolling feature (@pxref{Vertical Scrolling}). |
6564 | 1386 |
1387 In the commands @code{scroll-up} and @code{scroll-down}, the directions | |
1388 ``up'' and ``down'' refer to the motion of the text in the buffer at which | |
1389 you are looking through the window. Imagine that the text is | |
1390 written on a long roll of paper and that the scrolling commands move the | |
1391 paper up and down. Thus, if you are looking at text in the middle of a | |
1392 buffer and repeatedly call @code{scroll-down}, you will eventually see | |
1393 the beginning of the buffer. | |
1394 | |
1395 Some people have urged that the opposite convention be used: they | |
1396 imagine that the window moves over text that remains in place. Then | |
1397 ``down'' commands would take you to the end of the buffer. This view is | |
1398 more consistent with the actual relationship between windows and the | |
1399 text in the buffer, but it is less like what the user sees. The | |
1400 position of a window on the terminal does not move, and short scrolling | |
1401 commands clearly move the text up or down on the screen. We have chosen | |
1402 names that fit the user's point of view. | |

1482 @defopt scroll-conservatively |
6564 | 1483 This variable controls how scrolling is done automatically when point |
42985 | 1484 moves off the screen (or into the scroll margin). If the value is a |
1485 positive integer @var{n}, then redisplay scrolls the text up to | |
1486 @var{n} lines in either direction, if that will bring point back into | |
1487 proper view. This action is called @dfn{conservative scrolling}. | |
1488 Otherwise, scrolling happens in the usual way, under the control of | |
1489 other variables such as @code{scroll-up-aggressively} and | |
1490 @code{scroll-down-aggressively}. | |
1491 | |
1492 The default value is zero, which means that conservative scrolling | |

1532 The value of this variable is the number of lines of continuity to | |
1533 retain when scrolling by full screens. For example, @code{scroll-up} | |
1534 with an argument of @code{nil} scrolls so that this many lines at the | |

1540 @cindex centering point | |
42985 | 1541 This function scrolls the text in the selected window so that point is |
1542 displayed at a specified vertical position within the window. It does | |
1543 not ``move point'' with respect to the text. | |
6564 | 1544 |
42985 | 1545 If @var{count} is a nonnegative number, that puts the line containing |
1546 point @var{count} lines down from the top of the window. If | |
1547 @var{count} is a negative number, then it counts upward from the | |
1548 bottom of the window, so that @minus{}1 stands for the last usable | |
1549 line in the window. If @var{count} is a non-@code{nil} list, then it | |
1550 stands for the line in the middle of the window. | |
6564 | 1551 |
1552 If @var{count} is @code{nil}, @code{recenter} puts the line containing | |
1553 point in the middle of the window, then clears and redisplays the entire | |
1554 selected frame. | |
1555 | |
1556 When @code{recenter} is called interactively, @var{count} is the raw | |
1557 prefix argument. Thus, typing @kbd{C-u} as the prefix sets the | |
1558 @var{count} to a non-@code{nil} list, while typing @kbd{C-u 4} sets | |
1559 @var{count} to 4, which positions the current line four lines from the | |
1560 top. | |
