5.2 Window Components

A window consists of:

• An application area, a virtual surface on which gadgets, menus or other windows are placed. The application area has no explicit size.
• A window viewport is an area in which the user can view some or all of the application area. If the application area is larger than the window viewport, it may be possible to scroll and/or resize the viewport so that a different portion of the application area is visible.
• A window frame may surround the window viewport. The frame may contain the window title, may contain a menu bar, and may also contain controls that enable the user to resize the window, to iconify the window, and to display a system menu supplied by the underlying windowing platform.

When a window is created, the origin of its application area and its window viewport coincide and both have a position of (0,0).
