Class Gnome.DockLayout

Inheritance graph

Description

The Gnome.DockLayout widget is meant to make it simple for programmers to handle the layout of a GnomeDock widget.

Gnome.DockLayout can contain an arbitrary number of W(Gnome.DockItem) widgets, each of them with its own placement information. It is possible to "extract" a layout from an existing W(GnomeDock) widget, as well as adding the items present in a Gnome.DockLayout to it. Moreover, Gnome.DockLayout is able to create a layout configuration string that can be later used to re-construct the layout on a brand new Gnome.DockLayout widget.

As a consequence, Gnome.DockLayout is very useful to save and retrieve W(GnomeDock) configurations into files. For example, W(GnomeApp) uses Gnome.DockLayout to create a default layout configuration, override it with the user-specific configuration file, and finally apply it to it's W(GnomeDock).
