About:
libpanel is a library for GTK 4 that provides a docking and panel system, similar to GtkPaned but with enhanced features for complex layouts. It allows developers to easily create applications with resizable, detachable, and reorderable panels. Its main value is providing a standardized, modern way to manage UI components in GNOME and GTK-based applications.
Key Features:
  • Dock and panel management for GTK 4
  • Support for detachable and floating panels
  • Layout persistence and restoration
  • Integration with the GNOME platform
Use Cases:
  • Building IDEs or code editors with customizable layouts
  • Creating data analysis tools with multiple synchronized views
  • Developing complex creative applications with tool palettes
Alternatives:
  • GtkPaned – A basic GTK widget for splitting two widgets, but lacks the advanced docking and floating features of libpanel.
  • Qt Dock Widgets – The Qt framework's equivalent for creating dockable windows, offering similar functionality within the Qt ecosystem.
