# wxAuiDockArt(3erl)

Functions for wxAuiDockArt class

## NAME

wxAuiDockArt - Functions for wxAuiDockArt class

## DESCRIPTION

*wxAuiDockArt* is part of the wxAUI class framework. See also overview\_aui.

*wxAuiDockArt* is the art provider: provides all drawing functionality to the wxAui dock manager. This allows the dock manager to have a pluggable look-and-feel.

By default, a *wxAuiManager* uses an instance of this class called *wxAuiDefaultDockArt* (not implemented in wx) which provides bitmap art and a colour scheme that is adapted to the major platforms' look. You can either derive from that class to alter its behaviour or write a completely new dock art class. Call *wxAuiManager:setArtProvider/2* to force wxAUI to use your new dock art provider.

See: *wxAuiManager*, *wxAuiPaneInfo*
