      public class EditPane
      extends Canvas

  A container that allows drag and drop instantiation of visual components from a `Palette`, and direct manipulation of the position and size of those components.

  Any drag onto an EditPane from a Palette will add an EditNode created from the dragged PaletteNode.

  EditPane automatically creates an `EditContext` and provides several APIs and settings that are passthroughs to the underlying EditContext for convenience.

                                       throws java.lang.IllegalStateException

      Controls whether components can be dropped into other components which support child components.

      When enabled, during a drop interaction in which a `PaletteNode` or `EditNode` is the drop data, the `Component Schema` of the current candidate drop target is inspected to see whether that parent allows children of the type being dropped. If it does, the drop will result in a call to `addNode()` for a paletteNode or for an existing `EditNode` in the same tree.

      Specific components can disable nested drops by explicitly setting `EditProxy.allowNestedDrops` to false.

      This mode is enabled by default unless explicitly disabled by setting this property to false.

      Parameters:
        `allowNestedDrops` - New allowNestedDrops value. Default value is null
      Returns:
        `EditPane` instance, for chaining setter calls

      Parameters:
        `paletteNodes` - array of PaletteNodes
      Returns:
        an array of the EditNodes added to the parentNode

        `addFromPaletteNode(com.smartgwt.client.tools.PaletteNode)`

    - #### addFromPaletteNodes

          public EditNode[] addFromPaletteNodes(PaletteNode[] paletteNodes,
                                                EditNode parentNode)

      Add the supplied `PaletteNodes` to the parentNode, preserving internal references from one supplied PaletteNode to another. This method should be used with an array of possibly inter-related PaletteNodes (for instance, those produced as a result of serialization via `serializeAllEditNodes()`, rather than calling `addFromPaletteNode()` on each individual PaletteNode.
      Parameters:
        `paletteNodes` - array of PaletteNodes
        `parentNode` - parent to add to (defaults to the root)
      Returns:
        an array of the EditNodes added to the parentNode
      See Also:
        `addFromPaletteNode(com.smartgwt.client.tools.PaletteNode)`

    - #### addNode

          public EditNode addNode(EditNode newNode)

      Add a new `EditNode` to the EditContext, under the specified parent. If the parentNode is not provided it will be determined from `EditContext.defaultParent`.

      The EditContext will interrogate the parent and new nodes to determine what field within the parent allows a child of this type, and to find a method to add the newNode's liveObject to the parentNode's liveObject. The new relationship will then be stored in the tree of EditNodes.

      For example, when a Tab is dropped on a TabSet, the field TabSet.tabs is discovered as the correct target field via naming conventions, and the method TabSet.addTab() is likewise discovered as the correct method to add a Tab to a TabSet.

      Parameters:
        `newNode` - new node to be added
      Returns:
        newNodenode added

                                  java.lang.Boolean forceSingularFieldReplace)

      Add a new `EditNode` to the EditContext, under the specified parent. If the parentNode is not provided it will be determined from `EditContext.defaultParent`.

      The EditContext will interrogate the parent and new nodes to determine what field within the parent allows a child of this type, and to find a method to add the newNode's liveObject to the parentNode's liveObject. The new relationship will then be stored in the tree of EditNodes.

      Parameters:
        `newNode` - new node to be added
        `parentNode` - parent to add the new node under.
        `index` - index within the parent's children array
        `parentProperty` - the property of the liveParent to which the new node should be added, if not auto-discoverable from the schema
        `skipParentComponentAdd` - whether to skip adding the liveObject to the liveParent (default false)
        `forceSingularFieldReplace` - whether to replace existing single field node if newNode liveObject is the same (default false)
      Returns:
        newNodenode added

    - #### makePaletteNode

          public PaletteNode makePaletteNode(EditNode editNode)

      Creates a `PaletteNode` from an `EditNode` in this context's `editNodeTree`.

      This essentially creates a new `PaletteNode` with the `EditNode.defaults` from the passed `editNode`. The returned `paletteNode` could then be used with `EditContext.addFromPaletteNode()` to effectively create a copy of the original editNode - specifically a new editNode with a new `EditNode.liveObject` created from the same defaults.

      However note that `makePaletteNode()` does not copy descendant nodes - use `makePaletteNodeTree()` for that.

      May return null if the passed editNode cannot validly by transformed into a paletteNode, for example if `EditNode.canDuplicate` was set false.

      Parameters:
        `editNode` - the editNode to use to make a paletteNode
      Returns:
        paletteNode derived from the editNode or null

      The root node of the returned `Tree` will be a PaletteNode derived from the passed `EditNode`.

      Parameters:
        `editNode` - root editNode to make Tree of PaletteNodes from
      Returns:
        a Tree of paletteNodes or null

    - #### pasteEditNodes

          public void pasteEditNodes()

      "Pastes" `editNodes` previously captured via `copyEditNodes()`.

      New editNodes will be added as root-level nodes of the `editNodeTree` unless a `targetEditNode` is passed.

    - #### pasteEditNodes

          public void pasteEditNodes(EditNode targetEditNode)

      "Pastes" `editNodes` previously captured via `copyEditNodes()`.

      New editNodes will be added as root-level nodes of the `editNodeTree` unless a `targetEditNode` is passed.

      Parameters:
        `targetEditNode` -

    - #### removeAll

          public void removeAll()

      Removes all `EditNodes` from the EditContext, but does not destroy the `liveObjects`.

    - #### removeNode

          public void removeNode(EditNode editNode)

      Removes the specified properties from an editNode's serializable "defaults". Note that the `liveObject` is not updated by this method. To set a property to null (rather than removing it), use `setNodeProperties()` instead.
      Parameters:
        `editNode` - the editNode to update
        `properties` - an array of property names to remove
      See Also:
        `setNodeProperties(com.smartgwt.client.tools.EditNode, com.smartgwt.client.widgets.Canvas)`

    - #### setNodeProperties

          public void setNodeProperties(EditNode editNode,
                                        Canvas properties)

      Update an editNode's serializable "defaults" with the supplied properties. If you wish to remove a property from the defaults (rather than setting it to null), then use `removeNodeProperties()` instead.
      Parameters:
        `editNode` - the editNode to update
        `properties` - the properties to apply
      See Also:
        `removeNodeProperties(com.smartgwt.client.tools.EditNode, java.lang.String[])`

    - #### setNodeProperties

          public void setNodeProperties(EditNode editNode,
                                        Canvas properties,
                                        java.lang.Boolean skipLiveObjectUpdate)

      Update an editNode's serializable "defaults" with the supplied properties. If you wish to remove a property from the defaults (rather than setting it to null), then use `removeNodeProperties()` instead.
      Parameters:
        `editNode` - the editNode to update
        `properties` - the properties to apply
        `skipLiveObjectUpdate` - whether to skip updating the `liveObject`, e.g. if you have already updated the liveObject

        `removeNodeProperties(com.smartgwt.client.tools.EditNode, java.lang.String[])`

    - #### setDefaultProperties

          public static void setDefaultProperties(EditPane editPaneProperties)

      Class level method to set the default properties of this class. If set, then all existing and subsequently created instances of this class will automatically have default properties corresponding to the properties set on the SmartGWT class instance passed to this function before its underlying SmartClient JS object was created. This is a powerful feature that eliminates the need for users to create a separate hierarchy of subclasses that only alter the default properties of this class. Can also be used for skinning / styling purposes.

      Note: This method is intended for setting default attributes only and will affect all instances of the underlying class (including those automatically generated in JavaScript). This method should not be used to apply standard EventHandlers or override methods for a class - use a custom subclass instead. Calling this method after instances have been created can result in undefined behavior, since it bypasses any setters and a class instance may have already examined a particular property and not be expecting any changes through this route.

      Parameters:
        `editPaneProperties` - properties that should be used as new defaults when instances of this class are created
      See Also:
        `SGWTProperties`
