how	string	"title"	open or close the Image or Display windows by title, label, or window

Functional Details

name	specifies the windows to be opened.
open	determines whether the specified windows will be opened (1) or closed (0). The effect of this parameter depends on the type of argument supplied: If the argument is a single integer, all the specified windows will be opened or they will all be closed. If the argument is an integer list, it must have the same number of items as the list of strings given in name, and the flags are associated one-to-one with the named windows. If the argument is a string list, the windows listed in open will be opened, and those listed in name but not in open will be closed.
how	if specified, determines how the name parameter is to be interpreted: "title" the name specified is the title of the window (accessible through the Image Name option in the Options pull-down menu of the Image window, the title parameter of the Image tool or the where parameter of the Display module). "label" the name specified is the label of the window (accessible through the Notation field of the configuration dialog box of the Image or Display module). "window" the window identifier. If using SuperviseWindow and SuperviseState, then name should be the where output of SuperviseWindow.

Note: If you use this module to close a window, you must also turn off rendering to that window, using the Route module. Otherwise the window will open and then immediately close.
