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.
