 ** API
 
+High-level API:
+- ~F _display width‿height~ creates a window of the given dimensions
+  and displays its left operand. ~F~ should be a function returning a
+  color as an RGB triplet in the (0,1) range, and taking a list of two
+  elements ~x‿y~, where ~x~ and ~y~ are the pixel coordinates.
+
+Low-level API:
 - ~OpenWindow w‿h‿t~ opens a window of width ~w~ and height ~h~, with
   title ~t~. Returns a window handle.
 - ~CloseWindow w~ closes a window given its handle ~w~.
 - ~F _render w~ runs the function ~F~ at each coordinate of the window
-  ~w~ and set the corresponding pixel color. ~F~ should be a function
+  ~w~ and set the corresponding pixel color. ~F~ is a function with
-  returning a color as an RGB triplet in the (0,1) range, and taking a
+  the same arguments as for ~_display~.
-  list of three elements ~x‿y‿t~, where ~x~ and ~y~ are the pixel
-  coordinates and ~t~ is the time.
