Features

• Opening and closing tabs.

• Dragging tabs out into new egui windows.
• Highly customizable look and feel.
• High degree of control over behaviour of the whole dock area and of individual tabs.
• Manipulating tabs and dock layout from code.

Quick start

Add egui and egui_dock to your project's dependencies.

[dependencies]
egui = "0.22"
egui_dock = "0.7"

Then proceed by setting up egui, following its quick start guide. Once that's done, you can start using egui_dock – more details on that can be found in the documentation.

Demo

Alternatives

egui_tiles

It's a library aiming to achieve similar goals in addition to being more flexible and customizable.

One feature it supports that egui_dock does not at the moment is the ability to divide nodes into more than two children, enabling horizontal, vertical, and grid layouts.

Note

egui_tiles is much earlier in development than egui_dock and doesn't yet support a lot of features.
