Description

Floats a docking window.

This command gives the user the ability to programmatically "float" a docking window, as well as control its position on the screen. Usually, the user does this by clicking and dragging the mouse.

If neither -left nor -top are specified, the docking window's position is cascaded in relation to other docking windows.

Both Shogun Post's docking windows and user windows can be controlled using this command.
