21/* Windows are allocated as if they were vectors, but then the
22Lisp data type is changed to Lisp_Window. They are garbage
23collected along with the vectors.
24
25All windows in use are arranged into a tree, with pointers up and down.
26
27Windows that are leaves of the tree are actually displayed
28and show the contents of buffers. Windows that are not leaves
29are used for representing the way groups of leaf windows are
30arranged on the screen. Leaf windows never become non-leaves.
31They are deleted only by calling delete-window on them (but
32this can be done implicitly). Combination windows can be created
33and deleted at any time.
34
35A leaf window has a non-nil buffer field, and also
36 has markers in its start and pointm fields. Non-leaf windows
37 have nil in these fields.
38
39Non-leaf windows are either vertical or horizontal combinations.
40
41A vertical combination window has children that are arranged on the screen
42one above the next. Its vchild field points to the uppermost child.
43The parent field of each of the children points to the vertical
44combination window. The next field of each child points to the
45child below it, or is nil for the lowest child. The prev field
46of each child points to the child above it, or is nil for the
47highest child.
48
49A horizontal combination window has children that are side by side.
50Its hchild field points to the leftmost child. In each child
51the next field points to the child to the right and the prev field
52points to the child to the left.
53
54The children of a vertical combination window may be leaf windows
55or horizontal combination windows. The children of a horizontal
56combination window may be leaf windows or vertical combination windows.
57
58At the top of the tree are two windows which have nil as parent.
59The second of these is minibuf_window. The first one manages all
60the screen area that is not minibuffer, and is called the root window.
61Different windows can be the root at different times;
62initially the root window is a leaf window, but if more windows
63are created then that leaf window ceases to be root and a newly
64made combination window becomes root instead.
65
66In any case, prev of the minibuf window is the root window and
67next of the root window is the minibuf window. To find the
68root window at any time, do XWINDOW (minibuf_window)->prev.
