MiniLibX - Managing windows

SYNOPSYS

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.
