class Curses::Pad

Description¶ ↑

A Pad is like a Window but allows for scrolling of contents that cannot fit on the screen. Pads do not refresh automatically, use Pad#refresh or Pad#noutrefresh instead.

Refreshes the pad. pad_minrow and pad_mincol+ define the upper-left corner of the rectangle to be displayed. screen_minrow, screen_mincol, screen_maxrow, screen_maxcol define the edges of the rectangle to be displayed on the screen.
