<DL>
<DT> <B>layout</B>
<DD> Open a layout window. Equivalent to the
<B>openwindow</B> command.
<DT> <B>wind3d</B> <I>tk_path_name</I>
<DD> Generate the 3D window. Only available when using

<DD> Open a window allowing interactive definition of
netlists.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>specialopen</B> command opens one of several special-purpose
windows known to <B>magic</B>, as well as the default layout window.
Each window has a set of commands associated with it. The layout
window commands are listed in this reference guide along with the
general-purpose commands, because the layout window is the most
common type. For the command sets of the other special-purpose
windows, see the sections on the colormap, netlist, and 3D
rendering.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>specialopen</B> is implemented as a built-in window command in <B>magic</B>.
