Hello, I’d like to write a qdockwidget in qslicermainwindow and make it superimposed with the paneldockwidget as a tab. If I want to put the effect of qmrml segment editor widget in the qdockwidget, how can I operate？

This should be no problem at all. You can add the segment editor widget (`slicer.qMRMLSegmentEditorWidget()`) to a layout as any other Qt widgets.

We do something like what you describe in the [guidelets user interface](https://github.com/SlicerIGT/SlicerIGT/blob/master/Guidelet/GuideletLib/Guidelet.py#L57-L96), but it is all just standard Qt, so you can find answers by searching the web and Qt forums.
