Description

tickit_window_new_root() creates a new toplevel TickitWindow instance to represent the drawing area on the given terminal instance. The terminal instance is stored by the window itself, and is used for flushing the TickitRenderBuffer to when expose events occur. The root window will increase the reference count of its backing terminal by one; this reference will be dropped when the window is destroyed.

The root window behaves similar to other windows within the application, with the following differences:

Return Value

If successful, tickit_window_new_root() returns a pointer to the new instance.
