16.1 Built-in Module stdwin

This module defines several new object types and functions that provide access to the functionality of STDWIN.

On Unix running X11, it can only be used if the DISPLAY environment variable is set or an explicit `-display displayname' argument is passed to the Python interpreter.

Functions have names that usually resemble their C STDWIN counterparts with the initial `w' dropped. Points are represented by pairs of integers; rectangles by pairs of points. For a complete description of STDWIN please refer to the documentation of STDWIN for C programmers (aforementioned CWI report).
