<h2>Absolute Positioning and Z-Indexing</h2>
<p>Absolute positioning is used in Open MCT in the main envelope interface to handle layout and draggable pane splitters, for elements that must be dynamically created and positioned (like context menus) and for buttons that are placed over other elements, such as a plot's zoom/pan history and reset buttons. When using absolute positioning, follow these guidelines:</p>
<ul>
<li>Don't specify a z-index if you don't have to.</li>
<li>If you must specify a z-index, use the lowest number you that prevents your element from being covered and puts it at the correct level per the table below.</li>
</ul>
