Synopsis

void  * mlx_new_window(void *mlx_ptr, int size_x, int size_y, char *title);

int     mlx_clear_window(void *mlx_ptr, void *win_ptr);

int     mlx_destroy_window(void *mlx_ptr, void *win_ptr);

Description

The mlx_new_window function creates a new window on the screen, using the size_x and size_y parameters to determine its size, and title as the text that should be displayed in the window’s title bar.

The mlx_ptr parameter is the connection identifier returned by mlx_init (see the mlx man page).

mlx_new_window returns a void * window identifier that can be used by other MiniLibX calls.

Note that the MiniLibX can handle an arbitrary number of separate windows.

mlx_clear_window and mlx_destroy_window respectively clear (in black) and destroy the given window. They both have the same parameters: mlx_ptr is the screen connection identifier, and win_ptr is a window identifier.

Return Values

If mlx_new_window fails to create a new window (for wathever reason), it will return NULL, otherwise a non-null pointer is returned as a window identifier. mlx_clear_window and mlx_destroy_window right now return nothing.
