The function make-container
creates a container for element such that calling display on it will produce a window containing element on the screen. It will produce a container for any of the following classes of object:
In the case of a list, the CAPI tries to see what sort of objects they are and makes an appropriate container. For instance, if they were all simple panes it would put them into a column layout.
The arguments interface-args will be passed through to the make-instance of the top-level interface, assuming that pane is not a top-level interface itself.
The complementary function contain uses make-container
to create a container for an element which it then displays.
