@section Window Configurations
@cindex window configurations
@cindex saving window information

  A @dfn{window configuration} records the entire layout of one
frame---all windows, their sizes, which buffers they contain, what
part of each buffer is displayed, and the values of point and the
mark; also their fringes, margins, and scroll bar settings.  It also
includes the values of @code{window-min-height},
@code{window-min-width} and @code{minibuffer-scroll-window}.  An
exception is made for point in the selected window for the current
buffer; its value is not saved in the window configuration.

  You can bring back an entire previous layout by restoring a window
configuration previously saved.  If you want to record all frames
instead of just one, use a frame configuration instead of a window
configuration.  @xref{Frame Configurations}.
