Beginner question: how to control the location of these windows inside the application

veers.cani

Hi,

I am an absolute beginner and created some first Qt apps for testing. Happy with controlling position of multiple widgets (with updating plots) programmatically. But it is too static. And I found this example of a GUI I try to understand the basics of:

I could create simple Qt windows and tile them (a bit). But no way near how I could do it with widgets.

I want to build something with up to 8 of these “windows”. That can be added programmatically. And closed and moved by the user. What principles and components should I be looking at?
