Subject: Why does `(window-line-height)' return nil?
Date: Sat, 3 Aug 2013 16:26:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAF+z6GcZZ-gGuvYjkK9QP7d7PHSA4Hu22gMX+D_ZjL-doei-w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
In my *scratch* buffer, all of the following expressions return nil with
`eval-print-last-sexp' (also tried `eval-last-sexp'):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(window-line-height 'header-line)
(window-line-height 'mode-line)
(window-line-height)
(window-line-height 0)
(window-line-height -1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Why do they return nil? After reading the doc string, I only found one
sentence that may be relavant: "Return nil if window display is not
up-to-date." So, does that mean window display is not up-to-date when
evaluating the expression? I've searched the archives/web, but found
little information about this function.
