Extend panes in a layout

Extenders are triangular arrowheads that appear on vertical and horizontal dividers between panes of a layout.

An extender enables the source pane to extend into the area of a target pane. In the example below, Pane 2 is the source pane that will be extended into Pane 1, which is the target pane.

Extending a pane effectively rotates the orientation of the first parent common to both the source and target panes. In the following example, Pane 1 is the parent of Pane 2 and 3. When Pane 3 is extended into Pane 2, Pane 1's orientation changes from a column to a row.

For more information about the rules of extending panes, see Extend panes in a layout.
