<h2>1: Understanding layouts <A href="User_guide.html"><img src="Images/uparrow.png" border="0" align="top" alt="Go back up one level"/></A></h2>
<p>The purpose of a "layout" is to manage the positioning of one
or more user-interface components. This means that instead of
worrying about the exact position of each user interface component
you instead worry about the relative positioning of them; are they
arranged in a vertical list, horizontal list, a grid pattern, etc.</p>
<p>The best way to understand what layouts are and why they are a good user-interface
design tool is to see some examples. The sections below go through the
basics of building an interface using layouts and how to build complex
interfaces using them.</p>
