	25	wxAUI stands for Advanced User Interface. It aims to give the user a cutting
	26	edge interface with floatable windows, and a user-customizable layout. The
	27	original wxAUI sources have kindly been made available under the wxWindows
	28	licence by Kirix Corp. and they have since then been integrated into wxWidgets
	29	and further improved.

	31	wxAUI attempts to encapsulate the following aspects of the user interface:

	42	@section overview_aui_frame Frame Management
	43
	44	Frame management provides the means to open, move and hide common controls that
	45	are needed to interact with the document, and allow these configurations to be
	46	saved into different perspectives and loaded at a later time.
	47
	48
	49	@section overview_aui_toolbar Toolbars
	50
	51	Toolbars are a specialized subset of the frame management system and should
	52	behave similarly to other docked components. However, they also require
	53	additional functionality, such as "spring-loaded" rebar support, "chevron"
	54	buttons and end-user customizability.
	55
	56
	57	@section overview_aui_modeless Modeless Controls
	58
	59	Modeless controls expose a tool palette or set of options that float above the
	60	application content while allowing it to be accessed. Usually accessed by the
	61	toolbar, these controls disappear when an option is selected, but may also be
	62	"torn off" the toolbar into a floating frame of their own.
	63
	64
	65	@section overview_aui_lnf Look and Feel
	66
	67	Look and feel encompasses the way controls are drawn, both when shown
	68	statically as well as when they are being moved. This aspect of user interface
	69	design incorporates "special effects" such as transparent window dragging as
	70	well as frame animation.
	71
	72	wxAUI adheres to the following principles: Use native floating frames to obtain
	73	a native look and feel for all platforms. Use existing wxWidgets code where
	74	possible, such as sizer implementation for frame management. Use classes
	75	included in @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase only.
