#15 dockable windows functionality

[Mehran]

Hello;

Thanks to Scilab Desktop newer version of Scilab (since 5.4.0) support dockable windows.
It would be useful if you could add this functionality to Scipad.

Merci,
Mehran

I see what you mean and indeed this is a logical wish if you're using recent Scilab versions.

The problem is that I don't have the first clue about how to achieve this.
Scipad is a Tcl/Tk application whereas Scilab and its docking system is Java.
I guess I would need to encapsulate the main toplevel window of Scipad in a java application to achieve the desired goal. Do you know any tooolbox or ATOMS application that supports docking? I could perhaps find some inspiration in such an example.

Well, practical implementation ideas welcome...
