Parameters:
dockable - the dockable to anchor
constraints - associated anchor constraints

getDockableConstraints

public AnchorConstraints getDockableConstraints(Dockable dockable)
Returns the anchor constraints associated to a given dockable

Parameters:
dockable - the dockable to anchor
Returns:
the constraints for this dockable, or null if no constraints is associated

removeDockableConstraints

public AnchorConstraints removeDockableConstraints(Dockable dockable)
Removes an anchor constraints to a given dockable

Parameters:
dockable - the dockable whose anchor is to be removed
