Remarks
A layout is a collection of visual elements arranged on a logical sheet of paper. A layout in a GIS is typically used to display one or more maps at a particular extent and scale. The layout is used to compose a presentation of data, describe the maps, and/or tell a story of the map data.
A layout defines a logical sheet of paper. It has a height and a width, and also a linear unit used to display positions on the page. It can have a snapping grid and a set of guides to help users arrange its elements.
The layout contains an ordered list of elements. When the layout draws, it tells each element to draw, in order.
Example
Layout_GetSetDefinition
//Modify a layout's CIM definition //Perform on the worker thread await QueuedTask.Run(() => { CIMLayout cimLayout = layout.GetDefinition(); //Do something layout.SetDefinition(cimLayout); });
