Its argument is the time in milliseconds. The function waits for specified milliseconds for any keyboard event. If you press any key in that time, the program continues. If **0** is passed, it waits indefinitely for a key stroke. It can also be set to detect specific key strokes like, if key `a` is pressed etc which we will discuss below. +.. note:: For beginners: besides binding keyboard events this function also process other GUI events. At least in windows 7 it's a must to use it to process ``WM_PAINT`` (which actually prints the image), and even to process the close window event. + **cv2.destroyAllWindows()** simply destroys all the windows we created. If you want to destroy any specific window, use the function **cv2.destroyWindow()** where you pass the exact window name as the argument. .. note:: There is a special case where you can already create a window and load image to it later. In that case, you can specify whether window is resizable or not. It is done with the function **cv2.namedWindow()**. By default, the flag is ``cv2.WINDOW_AUTOSIZE``. But if you specify flag to be ``cv2.WINDOW_NORMAL``, you can resize window. It will be helpful when image is too large in dimension and adding track bar to windows.
