Window Handling

Windows are created using App.NewWindow() and need to be shown using the Show() function. The helper method ShowAndRun() on fyne.Window allows you to show your window and run the application at the same time.

If you wish to show a second window you must only call the Show() function. This is illustrated in the showAnother function.

By default a window will be the right size to show its content by checking the MinSize() function (more on that in later examples). You can set a larger size by calling the Window.Resize() function.

Be aware that the desktop environment may have constraints that cause windows to be smaller than requested.
