Revision history [back]

rqt uses Qt dock widgets to implement the UI. Those are out-of-the-box able to be dragged-n-dropped. Beside rerepositioning them within the main windows you can "drop" them on another widget and they will change into a tab view. You can also "drop" them outside the main window to make them floating.
