WINDOW *newwin  (int numlines, int numcols, int
                begin_y, int begin_x);

Arguments

newwin (0, 0, 0, 0)

If it is 0, the newwin function sets that dimension to COLS (begin_x). Thus, to get a new window of dimensions LINES by COLS, use the following line:

newwin (0, 0, 0, 0)

begin_y

A window coordinate.

begin_x

A window coordinate.
