pymel.core.uitypes.Window

class Window

class counterpart of mel function window

This command creates a new window but leaves it invisible. It is most efficient to add the window’s elements and then make it visible with the showWindow command. The window can have an optional menu bar. Also, the title bar and minimize/maximize buttons can be turned on or off. If the title bar is off, then you cannot have minimize or maximize buttons. Note: The window will require a control layout of some kind to arrange the controls (buttons, sliders, fields, etc.). Examples of control layouts are columnLayout, formLayout, rowLayout, etc. Note: This command will clear the uiTemplate stack. Templates for a window need to be set after the window cmd.
