Martin wrote/extended such a chapter, see the node "Windows and Frames", and the nodes which follow it, in the ELisp manual. There's also "Displaying Buffers" in the user manual, with its 2 sub-sections. If you think something is missing or unclear there, please tell the details, preferably as bug reports. TIA
