## Deleting a vis window

Figure 2

There are four ways to delete a vis window. The first way is to select the Delete option from the Main Window's Window menu. When you delete a window in this manner, the active window gets deleted and VisIt makes the window with the smallest number the new active window. The second way to delete a window is to click on the close window button in the window decorations provided by the windowing system. The window decorations' appearance varies based on the platform and windowing system used to run VisIt, but the button used to close windows is commonly a button with an X in it. An example of a close window button is shown in figure.

The third way to delete a vis window is to click on the Delete window icon in the vis window's Toolbar. The fourth way to delete a vis window is to use the Delete option in the vis window's Popup menu. When you use the Toolbar or the Popup menu to delete a window, the window does not need to be the active window as when other controls are used.
