wx.aui.AuiManager layout

I would like to create a simple three pane layout where all three panes can float away from the frame. I am having difficulty understanding the AuiManager parameters: pos, layer, row, etc… I have attached a sample script with my desired layout. I just can’t get the bottom right pane to undock. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?

aui.AUI_MGR_ALLOW_FLOATING is what you are looking for.
But your problem is that it you have it as a center pane. center panes are not normally supposed to be undockable.
Try changing Center() to Bottom()

Here are most of the agw flags. I see you are using regular aui in your code.
