Nest container in Taurus guis

[gjover]

It would be nice to group widgets in TaurusGUIs and be possible to have the groups as floating pannels.

May be one could have a container as standard panel in Taurus GUIs. In that way it would be possible to nest panels and widgets

The current implementation of the panels is via QDockWidgets (essentially a "panel" is a QDockwidget). This does not offer grouping possibilities, AFAIK.

As possible workarounds/alternatives, consider the following:

• visually grouping is to some extent possible for non-floating by playing with their docking positions.
• for both floating and non-floating , it can be done more or less easily in a programmatic way: just create a QSplitter containing the desired widgets as its children (easy to do pure-programmatically or with designer) and then add it just as any other panel.

Maybe the QSplitter solution could be implemented in a generic way and incorporated to taurus if there is enough interest (but I expect difficulties if one wants to make it very dynamic, as in wanting to be able to move widgets in and out of the splitter at run time)
