h2. Panels

Elements like the toolbox, the project, the message box and others, resides inside panels. These panels are usually docked to one of the four sides in the Geocap interface, but can be moved around as the users wish. This is done by clicking the title bar of the panel and simply dragging it out of its position. The panel can then be dropped anywhere inside our outside the Geocap interface. Moving the panel close to one of the four edges within the Geocap interface will cause a blue section to appear where the panel can be docked.
