Panels within Panelsedit

In 2D control panels, a Panel component is displayed within another panel (Parenting) in two possible ways:

• by placing the panel inside another Panel component (normally a Container component).
• by a node being attached to another node in the same network like in 3D Parenting.

Scripting with Panelsedit
