Many applications in which it is possible to work with more than one file at a time, such as an image-editing program, will put each file in a separate window and will allow the windows to be tiled, so that all of them are visible. There is usually a distinction between the main application window and its child windows, so sometimes a big application like this will force windows to minimize to a ___location at the bottom of the main window, instead of the operating system's window docking area.
