   On a graphical display, tiny arrow images in the window fringes
indicate truncated and continued lines (@pxref{Fringes}).  On a text
terminal, a @samp{$} in the rightmost column of the window indicates
truncation; a @samp{\} on the rightmost column indicates a line that
``wraps''.  (The display table can specify alternate characters to use
for this; @pxref{Display Tables}).

@defopt truncate-lines
This buffer-local variable controls how Emacs displays lines that extend
beyond the right edge of the window.  The default is @code{nil}, which

The return value is @var{overlay}.

This is the only valid way to change the endpoints of an overlay.  Do
not try modifying the markers in the overlay by hand, as that fails to
update other vital data structures and can cause some overlays to be
``lost''.

@defun remove-overlays &optional start end name value
This function removes all the overlays between @var{start} and

A non-@code{nil} value specifies an italic font.

  For compatibility, you can still set these ``attributes'', even

You can specify an X font name as the ``value'' of this ``attribute'';

  Here is a simple example using functions of the ewoc package to
implement a ``color components display'', an area in a buffer that
represents a vector of three integers (itself representing a 24-bit RGB
value) in various ways.

@section Window Systems

  Emacs works with several window systems, most notably the X Window
System.  Both Emacs and X use the term ``window'', but use it
differently.  An Emacs frame is a single window as far as X is
concerned; the individual Emacs windows are not known to X at all.

@defvar window-system
This variable tells Lisp programs what window system Emacs is running
