Specifically, this function allocates space for the virtual display and calls <CODE>SLtt_init_video</CODE> to put the terminal's physical display in the proper state. It is up to the caller to make sure that the <CODE>SLtt</CODE> routines are initialized via <CODE>SLtt_get_terminfo</CODE> before calling <CODE>SLsmg_init_smg</CODE>. <P>This function should also be called any time the size of the physical display has changed so that it can reallocate a new virtual display to match the physical display. <P>It returns zero upon success, or <CODE>-1</CODE> upon failure. <DT><B> See Also </B><DD><P><CODE>SLsmg_reset_smg</CODE> </DL> <P> <P> <P> <HR> <A HREF="cref-23.html">Next</A> <A HREF="cref-21.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="cref.html#toc22">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
