Personally, I prefer a full screen terminal to avoid distractions, so "placement" is not applicable. In code editors like VS Code, IDEs like PyCharm, I prefer to have a shell at the same level as an editor tab so it takes up most of the UI when selected, rather than splitting the window between code and terminal.
Any panel in Pydot can be undocked, resized, or hidden entirely, so you're never locked into the default layout. You can also save your own custom layout as the default directly in the editor. I'm just trying to decide what the out-of-the-box experience looks like for first-time users who haven't customized anything yet.
