You can move a pane to any location in the painter window.

To move a pane:

  1. Place the pointer anywhere on the pane's title bar, hold down the left mouse button, and start moving the pane.

    Moving tabbed panes  If you move tabbed panes using the handle in the top-left corner of the top pane or the title bar, all panes in the stack move. To move one of the panes out of the stack, drag the tab for the pane you want to move.

    A gray outline appears in the pane:

  1. Drag the outline to the new location.

    The outline changes size as you drag it. When the pointer is over the middle of a pane, the outline fills the pane. As you drag the pointer toward any border, the outline becomes a narrow rectangle adjacent to that border. When the pointer is over a splitter bar between two panes, rows, or columns, the outline straddles the splitter bar:

    When you move the pointer to a corner  When you move the pointer to a corner, you'll find that you have many places where you can drop the outline. To see your options, move the pointer around in all directions in the corner and see where the outline displays as you move it.

  1. Release the mouse button to drop the outline in the new location:
