# Creating a Terminal

The following functions are available to create a terminal:

- - create a default widget.

- - create a widget with a specified terminal size.

Unless there are specific reasons not to, you should normally use `zvt_term_new_with_size()` to create a new terminal. Otherwise you must be careful of the order you perform size operations on the terminal. It would normally make sense to call `zvt_term_set_size()` before the widget is realized anyway.
