<b><i>Layout</i></b> controls  panel sizes and their positioning on the page. There are two panel types in AMDA 
<i>TimePlot</i> (TimePlot/EpochPlot, normally only panel height can be defined) and <i>XYPlot</i> 

(ScatterPlot/InstantPlot, normally both panel height and width can be defined).

<br/>You may select one of three different layouts.

<h3>Auto Layout</h3>
<img class="centered" src="help/images/autoOut.png" style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;"/>
<ul>

<li><i>Auto Layout</i> controls strictly the panel height and spacing between panels (all values in the range of 0 - 1). 
<br/>Settings are the same 
for the both panel types and can not be modified anywhere else.<br/> XY panels are assumed to be square in shape.
<li>If possible several XY panels are  plotted  at the same "row".

<li><i>Expand Panels</i> checkbox. If it is checked panels are proportionally expanded to occupy all page size. 

<li><i>Legend visibility for time axes</i> controls if TimeAxe tickmarks are shown on each panel, or on the
bottom panel only.

</ol>
<p>

<b>Tip : You may ajust any layout by modifying settings while plotting empty panels.</b>

<h3>Vertical Layout</h3>
<img class="centered" src="help/images/vertical.png" style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 0px;"/>

<i>Vertical Layout</i> is more flexible in  defining panel sizes. It allows the individual panel size to be defined  even at 
the <i>panel</i> level. 
<p> But it is really "Vertical Layout" - several XY panels cannot be plotted at the same "row".
