How does Templater's layout engine work?

[ariestav]

Automatic layout works by template authors specifying rules for each layer that receives data. Rules are specified by adjusting the parameters found in the Templater Settings effect.

Read the documentation on Layout Rules for an overview of how user configured rules interact with Templater’s logic.

Watch a very short tutorial demonstrating very basic design rules.

Reference the following when you need to see the behavior of rule parameter settings:

• Scaling Layers
• Aligning Layers
• Attaching Layers
• Chaining and Grouping Layers
