If a tile is not directly managing an object (leaf-tile) it
is managing a horizontal or vertical stack of subtiles. These subtiles
are in the chain tile<-members.
Each of the subtiles’ tile<-super
points to this
tile object. The
variable tile<-orientation
is set to either horizontal or vertical.
A tile that manages a number of sub-tiles is normally created by its
sub-tiles:
?- new(X, tile(box(100, 100))),
new(Y, tile(box(200, 100))),
send(X, right, Y).
Will create two tiles and a third, which is a tile with tile<-orientation:
horizontal and tile<-members
the X and Y tiles.
