 * Creates a new window. If there are no windows, the first three arguments are

 * are ignored. @wintype is the type of window you're creating, and @rock is
 * the rock (see <link linkend="chimara-Rocks">Rocks</link>).
 *
 * If any windows exist, new windows must be created by splitting existing
 * ones. @split is the window you want to split; this <emphasis>must 
 * not</emphasis> be zero. @method is a mask of constants to specify the
 * direction and the split method (see below). @size is the size of the split.
 * @wintype is the type of window you're creating, and @rock is the rock.
 *
 * Remember that it is possible that the library will be unable to create a new
 * window, in which case glk_window_open() will return %NULL.
 * 
 * <note><para>
 *   It is acceptable to gracefully exit, if the window you are creating is an
 *   important one &mdash; such as your first window. But you should not try to
 *   perform any window operation on the id until you have tested to make sure
 *   it is non-zero.
 * </para></note>
 * 
 * The examples we've seen so far have the simplest kind of size control. (Yes,
 * this is <quote>below</quote>.) Every pair is a percentage split, with 
 * <inlineequation>
 *   <alt>X</alt>
 *   <mathphrase>X</mathphrase>
 * </inlineequation>
 * percent going to one side, and 
 * <inlineequation>
 *   <alt>(100-X)</alt>
 *   <mathphrase>(100 - X)</mathphrase>
 * </inlineequation> 
 * percent going to the other side. If the player resizes the window, the whole
 * mess expands, contracts, or stretches in a uniform way.
 * 
 * As I said above, you can also make fixed-size splits. This is a little more
 * complicated, because you have to know how this fixed size is measured.
 * 
 * Sizes are measured in a way which is different for each window type. For
 * example, a text grid window is measured by the size of its fixed-width font.
 * You can make a text grid window which is fixed at a height of four rows, or
 * ten columns. A text buffer window is measured by the size of its font.
 * 
 * <note><para>
 *   Remember that different windows may use different size fonts. Even two
 *   text grid windows may use fixed-size fonts of different sizes.
 * </para></note>
 *
 * Graphics windows are measured in pixels, not characters. Blank windows
 * aren't measured at all; there's no meaningful way to measure them, and
 * therefore you can't create a blank window of a fixed size, only of a
 * proportional (percentage) size.
 * 
 * So to create a text buffer window which takes the top 40% of the original
 * window's space, you would execute
 * |[ newwin = #glk_window_open(win, #winmethod_Above | #winmethod_Proportional, 40, #wintype_TextBuffer, 0); ]|
 *
 * To create a text grid which is always five lines high, at the bottom of the
 * original window, you would do
 * |[ newwin = #glk_window_open(win, #winmethod_Below | #winmethod_Fixed, 5, #wintype_TextGrid, 0); ]|
 * 
 * Note that the meaning of the @size argument depends on the @method argument.
 * If the method is %winmethod_Fixed, it also depends on the @wintype argument.
 * The new window is then called the <quote>key window</quote> of this split,
 * because its window type determines how the split size is computed.
 * 
 * <note><para>
 *   For %winmethod_Proportional splits, you can still call the new window the
 *   <quote>key window</quote>. But the key window is not important for
 *   proportional splits, because the size will always be computed as a simple
 *   ratio of the available space, not a fixed size of one child window.
 * </para></note>
 * 
 * This system is more or less peachy as long as all the constraints work out.
 * What happens when there is a conflict? The rules are simple. Size control
 * always flows down the tree, and the player is at the top. Let's bring out an
 * example:
 * <informaltable frame="none"><tgroup cols="2"><tbody><row>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig5-7a.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><textobject><literallayout class="monospaced">
 *      O
 *     / \
 *    O   B
 *   / \
 *  A   C
 * </literallayout></textobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * 
 * First we split A into A and B, with a 50% proportional split. Then we split
 * A into A and C, with C above, C being a text grid window, and C gets a fixed
 * size of two rows (as measured in its own font size). A gets whatever remains
 * of the 50% it had before.
 * 
 * Now the player stretches the window vertically.
 * <informalfigure><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig6.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></informalfigure>
 * 
 * The library figures: the topmost split, the original A/B split, is 50-50. So
 * B gets half the screen space, and the pair window next to it (the lower
 * <quote>O</quote>) gets the other half. Then it looks at the lower 
 * <quote>O</quote>. C gets two rows; A gets the rest. All done.
 * 
 * Then the user maliciously starts squeezing the window down, in stages:
 * <informaltable frame="none"><tgroup cols="5"><tbody><row valign="top">
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig5-7a.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig7b.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig7c.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig7d.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig7e.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * 
 * The logic remains the same. B always gets half the space. At stage 3,
 * there's no room left for A, so it winds up with zero height. Nothing
 * displayed in A will be visible. At stage 4, there isn't even room in the
 * upper 50% to give C its two rows; so it only gets one. Finally, C is
 * squashed out of existence as well.
 * 
 * When a window winds up undersized, it remembers what size it should be. In
 * the example above, A remembers that it should be two rows; if the user
 * expands the window to the original size, it would return to the original
 * layout.
 * 
 * The downward flow of control is a bit harsh. After all, in stage 4, there's
 * room for C to have its two rows if only B would give up some of its 50%. But
 * this does not happen.
 * 
 * <note><para>
 *   This makes life much easier for the Glk library. To determine the
 *   configuration of a window, it only needs to look at the window's
 *   ancestors, never at its descendants. So window layout is a simple
 *   recursive algorithm, no backtracking.
 * </para></note>
 * 
 * What happens when you split a fixed-size window? The resulting pair window
 * &mdash; that is, the two new parts together &mdash; retain the same size
 * constraint as the original window that was split. The key window for the
 * original split is still the key window for that split, even though it's now
 * a grandchild instead of a child.
 * 
 * The easy, and correct, way to think about this is that the size constraint
 * is stored by a window's parent, not the window itself; and a constraint
 * consists of a pointer to a key window plus a size value.
 *

 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * After the first split, the new pair window (O1, which covers the whole
 * screen) knows that its first child (A) is above the second, and gets 50% of
 * its own area. (A is the key window for this split, but a proportional split
 * doesn't care about key windows.)
 * 
 * After the second split, all this remains true; O1 knows that its first child
 * gets 50% of its space, and A is O1's key window. But now O1's first child is
 * O2 instead of A. The newer pair window (O2) knows that its first child (C)
 * is above the second, and gets a fixed size of two rows. (As measured in C's
 * font, because C is O2's key window.)
 * 
 * If we split C, now, the resulting pair will still be two C-font rows high
 * &mdash; that is, tall enough for two lines of whatever font C displays. For
 * the sake of example, we'll do this vertically.
 * <informaltable frame="none"><tgroup cols="2"><tbody><row>

 * </literallayout></textobject></mediaobject></entry> 
 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * 
 * O3 now knows that its children have a 50-50 left-right split. O2 is still
 * committed to giving its upper child, O3, two C-font rows. Again, this is
 * because C is O2's key window. 
 *
 * <note><para>
 *   This turns out to be a good idea, because it means that C, the text grid
 *   window, is still two rows high. If O3 had been a upper-lower split, things
 *   wouldn't work out so neatly. But the rules would still apply. If you don't
 *   like this, don't do it.
 * </para></note>
 *
 * Returns: the new window, or %NULL on error.

/**
 * glk_window_close:
 * @win: Window to close.
 * @result: Pointer to a #stream_result_t in which to store the write count.
 *
 * Closes @win, which is pretty much exactly the opposite of opening a window.
 * It is legal to close all your windows, or to close the root window (which is
 * the same thing.) 
 *
 * The @result argument is filled with the output character count of the window
 * stream. See <link linkend="chimara-Streams">Streams</link> and <link
 * linkend="chimara-Closing-Streams">Closing Streams</link>.
 * 
 * When you close a window (and it is not the root window), the other window
 * in its pair takes over all the freed-up area. Let's close D, in the current
 * example:
 * <informaltable frame="none"><tgroup cols="2"><tbody><row>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig10.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><textobject><literallayout class="monospaced">
 *      O1
 *     / \
 *    O2  B
 *   / \
 *  A   C
 * </literallayout></textobject></mediaobject></entry> 
 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * 
 * Notice what has happened. D is gone. O3 is gone, and its 50-50 left-right
 * split has gone with it. The other size constraints are unchanged; O2 is
 * still committed to giving its upper child two rows, as measured in the font
 * of O2's key window, which is C. Conveniently, O2's upper child is C, just as
 * it was before we created D. In fact, now that D is gone, everything is back
 * to the way it was before we created D.
 * 
 * But what if we had closed C instead of D? We would have gotten this:
 * <informaltable frame="none"><tgroup cols="2"><tbody><row>
 * <entry><mediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="fig11.png"/>
 * </imageobject></mediaobject></entry>
 * <entry><mediaobject><textobject><literallayout class="monospaced">
 *      O1
 *     / \
 *    O2  B
 *   / \
 *  A   D
 * </literallayout></textobject></mediaobject></entry> 
 * </row></tbody></tgroup></informaltable>
 * 
 * Again, O3 is gone. But D has collapsed to zero height. This is because its
 * height is controlled by O2, and O2's key window was C, and C is now gone. O2
 * no longer has a key window at all, so it cannot compute a height for its
 * upper child, so it defaults to zero.
 * 
 * <note><para>
 *   This may seem to be an inconvenient choice. That is deliberate. You should
 *   not leave a pair window with no key, and the zero-height default reminds
 *   you not to. You can use glk_window_set_arrangement() to set a new split
 *   measurement and key window. See <link 
 *   linkend="chimara-Changing-Window-Constraints">Changing Window
 *   Constraints</link>.

 * @method: new method of size computation. One of %winmethod_Above,

 * %winmethod_Fixed or %winmethod_Proportional.
 * @size: new size constraint, in percentage points if @method is
 * %winmethod_Proportional, otherwise in characters if @win's type is 
 * %wintype_TextBuffer or %wintype_TextGrid, or pixels if @win's type is
 * %wintype_Graphics.
 * @keywin: new key window, or %NULL to leave the key window unchanged.
 *
 * Changes the size of an existing split &mdash; that is, it changes the 
 * constraint of a given pair window.
 * 
 * Consider the example above, where D has collapsed to zero height. Say D was a
 * text buffer window. You could make a more useful layout by doing
 * |[
 * #winid_t o2;
 * o2 = #glk_window_get_parent(d);
 * glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Above | #winmethod_Fixed, 3, d);
 * ]|
 * That would set D (the upper child of O2) to be O2's key window, and give it a
 * fixed size of 3 rows.
 * 
 * If you later wanted to expand D, you could do
 * |[ glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Above | #winmethod_Fixed, 5, NULL); ]|
 * That expands D to five rows. Note that, since O2's key window is already set 
 * to D, it is not necessary to provide the @keywin argument; you can pass %NULL
 * to mean <quote>leave the key window unchanged.</quote>
 * 
 * If you do change the key window of a pair window, the new key window 
 * <emphasis>must</emphasis> be a descendant of that pair window. In the current
 * example, you could change O2's key window to be A, but not B. The key window
 * also cannot be a pair window itself.
 * 
 * |[ glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Below | #winmethod_Fixed, 3, NULL); ]|
 * This changes the constraint to be on the <emphasis>lower</emphasis> child of 
 * O2, which is A. The key window is still D; so A would then be three rows high
 * as measured in D's font, and D would get the rest of O2's space. That may not
 * be what you want. To set A to be three rows high as measured in A's font, you
 * would do
 * |[ glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Below | #winmethod_Fixed, 3, a); ]|
 * 
 * Or you could change O2 to a proportional split:
 * |[ glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Below | #winmethod_Proportional, 30, NULL); ]|
 * or
 * |[ glk_window_set_arrangement(o2, #winmethod_Above | #winmethod_Proportional, 70, NULL); ]|
 * These do exactly the same thing, since 30&percnt; above is the same as 
 * 70&percnt; below. You don't need to specify a key window with a proportional
 * split, so the @keywin argument is %NULL. (You could actually specify either A
 * or D as the key window, but it wouldn't affect the result.)
 * 
 * Whatever constraint you set, glk_window_get_size() will tell you the actual 
 * window size you got.
 * 
 * Note that you can resize windows, but you can't flip or rotate them. You 
 * can't move A above D, or change O2 to a vertical split where A is left or 
 * right of D. 
 * <note><para>
 *   To get this effect you could close one of the windows, and re-split the 
 *   other one with glk_window_open().
