- @page overview_aui wxAUI Overview
- @tableofcontents
- wxAUI stands for Advanced User Interface. It aims to give the user a cutting
- edge interface with floatable windows, and a user-customizable layout. The
- original wxAUI sources have kindly been made available under the wxWindows
- licence by Kirix Corp. and they have since then been integrated into wxWidgets
- and further improved.
- @see @ref group_class_aui
- @section overview_aui_frame Frame Management
- Frame management provides the means to open, move and hide common controls that
- are needed to interact with the document, and allow these configurations to be
- saved into different perspectives and loaded at a later time.
- @section overview_aui_toolbar Toolbars
- Toolbars are a specialized subset of the frame management system and should
- behave similarly to other docked components. However, they also require
- additional functionality, such as "spring-loaded" rebar support, "chevron"
- buttons and end-user customizability.
- @section overview_aui_modeless Modeless Controls
- Modeless controls expose a tool palette or set of options that float above the
- application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed by the
- toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be
- "torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.
- @section overview_aui_lnf Look and Feel
- Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown
- statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface
- design incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as
- well as frame animation.
- wxAUI adheres to the following principles: Use native floating frames to obtain
- a native look and feel for all platforms. Use existing wxWidgets code where
- possible, such as sizer implementation for frame management. Use classes
- included in @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase only.
