-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Panels are \fBcurses\fR(3X) windows with the added feature of
-depth. Panel functions allow the use of stacked windows and ensure
-the proper portions of each window and the curses \fBstdscr\fR window are
-hidden or displayed when panels are added, moved, modified or removed.
-The set of currently visible panels is the stack of panels. The
-\fBstdscr\fR window is beneath all panels, and is not considered part
-of the stack.
-.P
-A window is associated with every panel. The panel routines enable
-you to create, move, hides, and show panels, as well as position a
-panel at any desired location in the stack.
-.P
-Panel routines are a functional layer added to \fBcurses\fR(3X), make only
-high-level curses calls, and work anywhere terminfo curses does.
-.SH FUNCTIONS
-.TP
-\fBnew_panel(win)\fR
-allocates a \fBPANEL\fR structure, associates it with
-\fBwin\fR, places the panel on the top of the stack (causes it
-to be displayed above any other panel) and returns a
-pointer to the new panel.
-.TP
-\fBvoid update_panels()\fR
-refreshes the virtual screen to reflect the relations between the
-panels in the stack, but does not call doupdate() to refresh the
-physical screen. Use this function and not wrefresh or wnoutrefresh.
-update_panels() may be called more than once before a call to
-doupdate(), but doupdate() is the function responsible for updating
-the physical screen.
-.TP
-\fBdel_panel(pan)\fR
-removes the given panel from the stack and deallocates the
-\fBPANEL\fR structure (but not its associated window).
-.TP
-\fBhide_panel(pan)\fR
-removes the given panel from the panel stack and thus hides it from
-view. The \fBPANEL\fR structure is not lost, merely removed from the stack.
-.TP
-\fBshow_panel(pan)\fR
-makes a hidden panel visible by placing it on top of the panels in the
-panel stack. See COMPATIBILITY below.
-.TP
-\fBtop_panel(pan)\fR
-puts the given visible panel on top of all panels in the stack. See
-COMPATIBILITY below.
-.TP
-\fBbottom_panel(pan)\fR
-puts panel at the bottom of all panels.
-.TP
-\fBmove_panel(pan,starty,startx)\fR
-moves the given panel window so that its upper-left corner is at
-\fBstarty\fR, \fBstartx\fR. It does not change the position of the
-panel in the stack. Be sure to use this function, not \fBmvwin()\fR,
-to move a panel window.
-.TP
-\fBreplace_panel(pan,window)\fR
-replaces the current window of panel with \fBwindow\fR (useful, for
-example if you want to resize a panel; if you're using \fBncurses\fR,
-you can call \fBreplace_panel\fR on the output of \fBwresize\fR(3X)).
-It does not change the position of the panel in the stack.
-.TP
-\fBpanel_above(pan)\fR
-returns a pointer to the panel above pan. If the panel argument is
-\fB(PANEL *)0\fR, it returns a pointer to the bottom panel in the stack.
-.TP
-\fBpanel_below(pan)\fR
-returns a pointer to the panel just below pan. If the panel argument
-is \fB(PANEL *)0\fR, it returns a pointer to the top panel in the stack.
-.TP
-\fBset_panel_userptr(pan,ptr)\fR
-sets the panel's user pointer.
-.TP
-\fBpanel_userptr(pan)\fR
-returns the user pointer for a given panel.
-.TP
-\fBpanel_window(pan)\fR
-returns a pointer to the window of the given panel.
-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-Each routine that returns a pointer returns \fBNULL\fR if an error
-occurs. Each routine that returns an int value returns \fBOK\fR if it
-executes successfully and \fBERR\fR if not.
-.SH COMPATIBILITY
-Reasonable care has been taken to ensure compatibility
-with the native panel facility introduced in SVr3.2 (inspection of
-the SVr4 manual pages suggests the programming interface is unchanged).
-The \fBPANEL\fR data structures are merely similar. The programmer
-is cautioned not to directly use \fBPANEL\fR fields.
-.P
-The functions \fBshow_panel()\fR and \fBtop_panel()\fR are identical
-in this implementation, and work equally well with displayed or hidden
-panels. In the native System V implementation, \fBshow_panel()\fR is
-intended for making a hidden panel visible (at the top of the stack)
-and \fBtop_panel()\fR is intended for making an already-visible panel
-move to the top of the stack. You are cautioned to use the correct
-function to ensure compatibility with native panel libraries.
-.SH NOTE
-In your library list, libpanel.a should be before libncurses.a; that is,
-you want to say `-lpanel -lncurses', not the other way around (which would
-give you a link error using GNU \fBld\fR(1) and some other linkers).
