In Inform 7, how do you create a text window using Flexible Windows by Jon Ingold?

Question

The Flexible Windows extension is here.

Would someone please give an example of how to create a text window to the left or right of the main window? I'd also like to know how to show and hide the window during play.

Answer 1

The side window is a g-window spawned by the main window.
The position of the side window is g-placeright.
The scale method of the side window is g-proportional.
The measurement of the side window is 33.

Toggling the side window is an action.
Understand "side window" as toggling the side window.

Carry out toggling the side window:
    if the side window is g-present:
        close the side window;
    otherwise:
        open the side window;
