  GUI Programming with PyQT
A tabbed document collects all open documents in one window, with a row of tabs to facilitate easy navigation of documents.
Tabs can be square or triangular (the latter is seldom seen nowadays, for it is very ugly), and shown on the top or bottom of the window.
Applications that handle documents that consist of several (but not many) pages often show a row of triangular tabs at the bottom of the window.

  Tabbed document interface - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Although the tabbed document interface does allow for multiple views under one window, there are problems with this interface.
When a window is tabbed to a certain number that exceeds the available resolution of the monitor, the tabs clutter up (this is the same problem as with SDI but moved to another place in the user interface).
Thus, tabbed windows work great in environments where there is a minimal necessity for tabs (around ten tabs or less), this scheme does not work to scale, and can quickly be as overwhelming as the multiple document interface is when applied to scale.

  Definition of Tabbed Document Interface
In graphical user interfaces in computer applications, a tabbed document interface (TDI) is one that relies on tabbed panes to hold child windows.
This style of interface may work in conjunction with a full Multiple Document Interface (MDI) or as an alternative.
One important advantage of the tabbed document interface is that it holds many different documents logically under the one window, instead of holding a lot of small child windows, though, if too many documents are open, the tabs can be rather difficult to manage or label.

 Tabbed document interface
When a window is tabbed to a certain number that exceeds the available resolution of the monitor, the tabs clutter up (this is the same problem as with SDI but moved to another place in the user interface).
Tabs can be strewn about without any sense of order, thus looking for a tab provides no meaningful understanding of a position to a tab relative to other tabs.
Thus, although tabbed windows work great in environments where there is a minimal necessity for tabs (around ten tabs or less), this scheme does not scale, and additional widgets can be required to convey the information in a legible manner.

 What is tabbed browsing? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: TDI, tabbed document interface
Tabbed browsing, also called a tabbed document interface (TDI), is a feature recently implemented in Web browsers to effectively contain multiple pages or documents in a single window.
The term "tab" arises from the visual similarity to the physical tabs on manila folders used to store and organize hard copy.
Tabbed browsing consumes less memory and operating system resources than tiled-window browsing provided the user does not keep too many items open at once.

 MacZealots > Reviews > TextMate 1.0.1 Review
Relying on Exposé or BBEdit's document drawer is less than optimal as you're still having to use a lot of mouse movement or key strokes to alternate between the open documents.
One would think you'd open up a new document and the tab bar would already be open, ready and visible with a single tab — or if it wasn't it would be just a click away in either the View menu or the application's preferences.
Tabs in Textmate took a large step from the 1.0 release, as is apparent from redrawn, more functional tabs [screenshot].

 How to Use Advanced Windows Forms - WebReference.com-
More generally, a single document interface presents a single concept in a single window to the user, be it a photo album, a paper document, a tax form, or some other concept.
Single document interfaces typically provide a menu bar to open, save, and otherwise manipulate the concept; a status bar to summarize information related to the presented information; and one or more toolbars as an alternate way to manipulate the data.
A multiple document interface (MDI) is a logical extension of the single document interface style.

Recently one of the developers expressed some interest in eventually allowing a Tabbed Document Interface similar to Mozilla or Gedit but in a way that would be unnoticable to the ordinary user.
Designers generally recommend against Tabbed Interface designs and prefer to see improvements overall to the desktop task list rather than reinventing the window manager task and task list inside each application (and risk making the same mistakes that MDI suffered from).
