To guarantee the proper closing of viewports in cases of errors, especially when a program manages several viewports simultaneously, a programmer should use dynamic-wind:
> (let ([w (open-viewport "hello" 100 100)])
(dynamic-wind
; what we want to happen first: nothing
void
; the main program (errors constrained to this piece)
(lambda () (draw-pixel 13)) ; an error
; what we would like to happen, whether the main program finishes
; normally or not
(lambda () (close-viewport w))))
