clear_window ( : : : )

Deletion of an output window.

clear_window deletes all entries in the current output window. The window (background and edge) is reset to its original state. Parameters assigned to this window (e.g. with set_color, set_paint, etc.) remain unmodified. If the corresponding window is not active yet, you may activate it by set_window before calling clear_window.


Example
