\section{\class{wxAuiPaneInfo}}\label{wxauipaneinfo}

wxAuiPaneInfo is part of the wxAUI class framework.
See also \helpref{wxAUI overview}{wxauioverview}.

wxAuiPaneInfo specifies all the parameters for a pane.
These parameters specify where the pane is on the
screen, whether it is docked or floating, or hidden.
In addition, these parameters specify the pane's
docked position, floating position, preferred size,
minimum size, caption text among many other parameters.
