hou.Pane

A rectangular area of the desktop that contains one or more pane tabs.

Desktops (and floating panels) are composed of one or more panes. Initially a desktop contains one pane, and more panes are added to it by splitting existing panes in two, either horizontally or vertically.

See hou.Desktop for more information about panes and pane tabs. See hou.FloatingPanel for more information about floating panels.
