Command: wpaint

Syntax

wpaint {<window> {,<window> ... } }

Description

Redraw the contents of one or more windows.

Parameters

• <window>
  A window identifier. If omitted, the current graphic window is redrawn.

Switches

• -all
  Redraw all windows.

• -dbt=<num> (Graphic Windows only)
  A transition style to be invoked at the end of the contents repaint. This feature is used only when double buffering is active for the window and facilitates presentation-type effects. See here for a description of all available transition styles. If this switch is omitted, the transition style of the window is used (see window.double_buffering).
  This switch is ignored when the -all switch is present.

• -res
  Redraw the window and invoke all redraw callbacks as though the window extents had changed.

Notes

Specifying no command parameters will redraw the current graphic window.

If the window to be drawn is not currently in use or is iconized, no action is taken.

Examples

Redraw one window.

wpaint win1

Redraw all windows.

wpaint -all
