# TilingPanels
## Tiling window manager control library for WPF
### CopaData.Ui.Wpf.TilingPanels

Cool Library to have tiling panels.
Is that not cool?
I think it very much is cool.
Very nice, yes. Alpha & Beta. No Gamma or Delta. Just Alpha-Beta.

Data structure resembles a binary tree with uniform branch- and end-nodes (TilingPanels & TilingHosts).

### Node

### Panel

### Host

### Frame

### Window

### Node Structure
```cs
			   RootPanel
				 /  \
			    A    B 
			   /      \
		    Panel     Host
			 /  \      |-Frame (Single Frame)
			/    \
   		 Panel   Host
		  /	\	  |-Frame (Tab)
		 /	 .	  |-Frame (Tab)
	   Host
	    |-Frame (Tab)
	    |-Frame (Tab)
	    |-Frame (Tab)
```
Key Behaviours:
    - All Panels have information about how and where their content is split in two.
    - Every panel may have up to two children (Alpha/Beta), where Alpha is never null.
    - Beta may not be set (In a case of a single frame with no splits, for example).
    - If a child located at Alpha is detached, Beta will move to alpha, to ensure the 'Alpha is always set' paradigm.
    - If a child is detached and both alpha and beta result in being null, the entire Panel is detached from its parent.
	- Hosts are always at the end of the branches, everything above a Node is a Panel.
	- The things you're dragging around to re-order, separate and split panels are Frames.
	- Hosts contain Frames, which will be displayed as tabs if stacked atop each other, or as a single frame if only one is present.
	- All mutations of the tree structure expect the root node as their first argument.
	  That is done so there's no two-way referencing and to keep stuff simple.
