LayoutDocument

• LayoutDocument (Definition) : LayoutContent
• LayoutDocument (Class Diagram)

A LayoutDocument (document) can be docked in a restricted but flexible manner inside one collection called DocumentsPane. This is usally the kind of content that should be used to display document like content (text, graphics etc).

A LayoutAnchorable (tool window) is in AvalonDock an element that can be anchored into a flexible position (eg.: bottom, top, left, right of MainWindow). Such a flexibility is usually required for a Tool Window since users should be able to dock a tool window around their documents.

Represents a document in the layout model.
