Dock widgets tend to be used for tool palettes so they are usually small
in comparison to overall window size. Also, they can only be placed
around the edges of the central area, so they are probably not ideal for
your purpose.

If you need to show a specific number of images (2, 3, 4) then a
horizontal splitter might suffice (or two horizontal splitters laid out
one above the other).
