<p>Created page with &quot;{{lowercase}} {{Function |name=window.setVisible |args={{type|boolean}} visible |returns=None |api=term |addon=ComputerCraft |desc=A function available to window-based [[term ...&quot;</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{lowercase}}<br /> {{Function<br /> |name=window.setVisible<br /> |args={{type|boolean}} visible<br /> |returns=None<br /> |api=term<br /> |addon=ComputerCraft<br /> |desc=A function available to window-based [[term (API)|terminal objects]] created via the [[window (API)|window API]], which toggles the visibility flag of the window in concern.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> You may still alter the content of an invisible window, though the changes will only be displayed when the window is next rendered. If a window's parent is invisible, then that window is also treated as invisible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> Note that toggling visibility of a window to false will NOT &quot;undraw&quot; it; its content will still remain within any parent terminal objects until ''they'' are cleared via other means, as anything rendered in a given window is rendered ''via'' said parents. However, if toggling from false to true, the window will be automatically [[window.redraw|redrawn]] (though whether it'll actually show up on the screen again at that point depends on the visibility of its parents at the time).<br /> |examples=<br /> {{Example<br /> |desc=Defines two windows at the top left of the display, then alternates their visibility until terminated (Ctrl + T).<br /> |code= term.clear()<br /> <br /> local window1 = window.create(term.current(), 1, 1, 2, 1)<br /> local window2 = window.create(term.current(), 1, 1, 2, 1)<br /> <br /> window1.setVisible(false)<br /> window2.setVisible(false)<br /> <br /> window1.write(&quot;):&quot;)<br /> window2.write(&quot;:)&quot;)<br /> <br /> while true do<br /> window2.setVisible(false)<br /> window1.setVisible(true)<br /> <br /> sleep(0.5)<br /> <br /> window1.setVisible(false)<br /> window2.setVisible(true)<br /> <br /> sleep(0.5)<br /> end<br /> }}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> [[Category:API_Functions]]</div>
