39.11 Frame Configurations

A frame configuration records the current arrangement of frames, all their properties, and the window configuration of each one.

Function: current-frame-configuration

This function returns a frame configuration list that describes the current arrangement of frames and their contents.

Function: set-frame-configuration configuration &optional nodelete

This function restores the state of frames described by configuration, which should be the return value from a previous call to current-frame-configuration.

Each frame listed in configuration has its position, size, window configuration, and other properties set as specified in configuration.

Ordinarily, this function deletes all existing frames not listed in configuration. But if optional second argument nodelete is non-nil, the unwanted frames are iconified instead.
