<tmdoc-title|Manipulating <TeXmacs> views>
<\explain>
<scm|(view-list)><explain-synopsis|list of all views>
<|explain>
This routine returns the list of all available views, sorted by inverse
chronologial order. That is, views which were selected more recently will
occur earlier in the list.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(current-view)><explain-synopsis|current view>
<|explain>
Return the current view or <scm|#f>.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(view-\<gtr\>buffer <scm-arg|vw>)><explain-synopsis|buffer to which
the view is attached>
<|explain>
This routine returns the buffer to which the view <scm-arg|vw> is
attached.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(view-\<gtr\>window <scm-arg|vw>)><explain-synopsis|window to which
the view is attached>
<|explain>
This routine returns the window in which the view <scm-arg|vw> is being
displayed or <scm|#f>.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(view-new <scm-arg|buf>)>
<scm|(view-passive <scm-arg|buf>)>
<scm|(view-recent <scm-arg|buf>)><explain-synopsis|get view on buffer>
<|explain>
All three routines return a view on the buffer <scm-arg|buf>. In the case
of <scm|view-new>, we systematically create a new view. The routine
<scm|view-passive> first attempts to find an existing view on
<scm-arg|buf> which is not attached to a window; if no such view exists,
then a new one is created. The last routine <scm|view-recent> returns the
most recent existing view, with a preference for the current view, or
another visible view. Again, a new view is created if no suitable recent
view exists.

<tmdoc-title|Manipulating <TeXmacs> windows>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-list)><explain-synopsis|list of all <TeXmacs> windows>
<|explain>
This routine returns the list of all <TeXmacs> windows.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(current-window)><explain-synopsis|current window>
<|explain>
Return the current window. The program may abort if there exists no
current window.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-\<gtr\>buffer <scm-arg|win>)><explain-synopsis|buffer
displayed in window>
<|explain>
This routine returns the buffer which is currently being displayed in the
window <scm-arg|win>. Warning: in the future, when a window will be
allowed to contain multiple buffers, this routine might be replaced by
<scm|window-\<gtr\>buffers>.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-\<gtr\>view <scm-arg|win>)><explain-synopsis|view displayed
in window>
<|explain>
This routine returns the view which is currently being displayed in the
window <scm-arg|win>. Warning: in the future, when a window will be
allowed to contain multiple views, this routine might be replaced by
<scm|window-\<gtr\>views>.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-set-buffer <scm-arg|win>
<scm-arg|buf>)><explain-synopsis|show buffer in window>
<|explain>
Display the buffer <scm-arg|buf> in the window <scm-arg|win>.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-set-view <scm-arg|win> <scm-arg|vw>)><explain-synopsis|show
view in window>
<|explain>
Display the view <scm-arg|vw> in the window <scm-arg|win>. The program
may abort if the view was already attached to another window.
</explain>
<\explain>
<scm|(window-focus <scm-arg|win>)><explain-synopsis|focus window>
<|explain>
Set th current focus to the window <scm-arg|win>. The current
implementation is still a bit bugged and only correct if you want to
execute a sequence of commands under the assumption that <scm-arg|win>
carries the focus and if you return the focus to the original window at
the end.
