XUnmapWindow(3X11)
X11R6
NAME
  XUnmapWindow, XUnmapSubwindows - unmap windows

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

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

ARGUMENTS
  display
      Specifies the connection to the X server.

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