The jLayout JavaScript library provides layout algorithms for laying out components. A component is an abstraction; it can be implemented in many ways, for example as items in a HTML5 Canvas drawing or as HTML elements. The jLayout library allows you to focus on drawing the individual components instead of on how to arrange them on your screen.
The library currently provides four layout algorithms:border
, which lays out components in five different regions;grid
, which lays out components in a user defined grid,flex-grid
which offers a grid with flexible column and row sizes, andflow
which flows components in a user defined direction. Using thegrid
andflex-grid
algorithms you can also create horizontal and vertical layouts. AjQuery pluginto lay out (X)HTML elements is also available.
