'''
Module FIG
------------
Module for manipulating windows/figures created using
pylab or enthought.mayavi.mlab on the windows platform.

Figure manipulation involves
maximization, minimization, hiding, closing, stacking or tiling.

This module assumes that the figures are uniquely numbered in the following way:
Figure 1
Figure 2
....
or
TVTK scene 1
TVTK scene 2
TVTK scene 3
...

Example
-------
>>> import pylab as p
>>> import wafo.fig as fig
>>> for ix in range(6):
...     f = p.figure(ix)
>>> fig.stack('all')
>>> fig.stack(1,2)
>>> fig.hide(1)
>>> fig.restore(1)
>>> fig.tile()
>>> fig.pile()
>>> fig.maximize(4)
>>> fig.close('all')

                        when minimizing windows from a different thread.
    SW_HIDE:            Hides the window and activates another window.
    SW_MAXIMIZE:    Maximizes the specified window.
    SW_MINIMIZE:    Minimizes the specified window and activates the next
                    top-level window in the Z order.
    SW_RESTORE:     Activates and displays the window. If the window is
                    minimized or maximized, the system restores it to its
                    original size and position. An application should
                    specify this flag when restoring a minimized window.
    SW_SHOW:        Activates the window and displays it in its current size
                    and position.
    SW_SHOWDEFAULT: Sets the show state based on the SW_ value specified in the
                    STARTUPINFO structure passed to the CreateProcess function
                    by the program that started the application.
    SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED: Activates the window and displays it as a maximized
                    window.
    SW_SHOWMINIMIZED: Activates the window and displays it as a minimized
                    window.

                    is similar to SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, except the window is not
                    activated.
    SW_SHOWNA:  Displays the window in its current size and position. This
            value is similar to SW_SHOW, except the window is not activated.
    SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE: Displays a window in its most recent size and position.

                    is not actived.

def cycle(*figs, **kwds):
    ''' Cycle through figure windows.

    Parameters
    ----------
    figs : list of integers or string
        specifying which figures to cycle through (default 'all').
    kwds : dict with the following keys
        pairs : number of figures to cycle in pairs (default 1)
        maximize: If True maximize figure when viewing (default False)

    Description
    -----------
       CYCLE brings up all open figure in ascending order and pauses after
       each figure. Press escape to quit cycling, backspace to display previous
       figure(s) and press any other key to display next figure(s)
       When done, the figures are sorted in ascending order.

       CYCLE(maximize=True) does the same thing, except that figures are
                           maximized.
       CYCLE(pairs=2)   cycle through all figures in pairs of 2.

     Examples:
     >>> import pylab as p
     >>> import wafo.fig as fig
     >>> for ix in range(4): f = p.figure(ix)

     fig.cycle(range(3))               #Cycle trough figure 0 to 2
     fig.cycle(range(3) maximize=True) #Cycle trough figure 1 to 3 with figs
                                       # maximized
     fig.cycle()                       #Cycle through all figures one at a time
     fig.tile(pairs=2)
     fig.cycle(pairs=2)                #Cycle through all figures two at a time
     >>> fig.close()
