pywm.Fl_Window

Package pywm :: Class Fl_Window

[show private | hide private]

Class Fl_Window

Known Subclasses:: appletBase

This class allows you to create popup windows for user interaction.

The windows are created/managed by the FLTK graphical toolkit (which the FLWM engine uses), and are not managed as application windows (meaning - no border, no window handle etc).

The python interface to Fl_Window is a close subset of the FLTK Fl_Window class (refer to your FLTK manual - http://fltk.sf.net if you don't have it locally).
