Package com.javadocking.dock Description

Contains the interfaces and implementations for docks.

Docks can contain Dockables or other docks. The dockables can be moved from one dock to another dock. The docks stay always on the same place.

The main interface for a dock is Dock. There are 2 important extensions of this interface: LeafDock and CompositeDock.

Information on using docks is in How to Use Laef Docks and How to Use Composite Docks in The Sanaware Developer Guide.

A leaf dock is a dock that contains dockables. A composite dock is a dock that contains other docks.

Some implementations of leaf docks are:

• A SingleDock can contain 0 or one dockables.
• A TabDock can contain multiple dockables that are ordered in tabs of a tabbed pane.
• A LineDock can contain multiple dockables that are ordered in a line.
• A GridDock can contain multiple dockables that are ordered in a grid.

Some implementations of composite docks are:

• A SplitDock can contain 0, 1 or 2 docks. When there are 2 docks they are organized in a splitt pane.
• A BorderDock contains at least one dock in the center. It can also contain a dock in the north, south, east and west.
• A CompositeLineDock can contain multiple docks that are ordered in a line.
• A CompositeGridDock can contain multiple docks that are ordered in a grid.
• A FloatDock can contain multiple docks that are organized in floating windows.
