# layout

The layout being used by the layer.

## Declaration

```swift
var layout: LayerRenderer.Layout { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Layouts define how Compositor Services creates the color and depth textures it passes to your app. A layout might use separate textures for each view, or combine the content from multiple views into a single texture. The layout type also determines which Metal texture type to create. For more information about the supported layouts, see LayerRenderer.Layout.
