DockNode console = new DockNode("console", new TextArea(), "Console");

snapFX.getDockGraph().setRoot(editor);
snapFX.getDockGraph().dock(project, editor, DockPosition.LEFT);
snapFX.getDockGraph().dock(console, editor, DockPosition.BOTTOM);

Tab Grouping​

DockNode tasks = new DockNode("tasks", new ListView<>(), "Tasks");
snapFX.getDockGraph().dock(tasks, console, DockPosition.CENTER);

Float and Reattach​

DockFloatingWindow floating = snapFX.floatNode(console);
// ... user works in floating window ...
snapFX.attachFloatingWindow(floating);
