LSlider

A simple slider without a label. You can create a label using an LText object, for example. You need to specify a range that constrains the slider's possible values. You can then lift the value observable to make interactive plots.

using Makie
using MakieLayout

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

ax = layout[1, 1] = LAxis(scene)
sl1 = layout[2, 1] = LSlider(scene, range = 0:0.01:10, startvalue = 3)
sl2 = layout[3, 1] = LSlider(scene, range = 0:0.01:10, startvalue = 5)
sl3 = layout[4, 1] = LSlider(scene, range = 0:0.01:10, startvalue = 7)

sl4 = layout[:, 2] = LSlider(scene, range = 0:0.01:10, horizontal = false,
    width = Auto(true), height = nothing)

LText

This is just normal text, except it's also layoutable. A text's size is known, so rows and columns in a GridLayout can shrink to the appropriate width or height.

using Makie
using MakieLayout

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

axs = layout[1:2, 1:3] = [LAxis(scene) for _ in 1:6]

supertitle = layout[0, :] = LText(scene, "Six plots", textsize = 30)

sideinfo = layout[2:3, 0] = LText(scene, "This text goes vertically", rotation = pi/2)

LButton

using Makie
using MakieLayout

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

layout[1, 1] = LAxis(scene)
layout[2, 1] = buttongrid = GridLayout(width = Auto(false))

buttongrid[1, 1:5] = [LButton(scene, label = "Button $i") for i in 1:5]

scene

LRect

A simple rectangle poly that is layoutable. This can be useful to make boxes for facet plots or when a rectangular placeholder is needed.

using Makie
using MakieLayout
using ColorSchemes

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

rects = layout[1:4, 1:6] = [LRect(scene, color = c) for c in get.(Ref(ColorSchemes.rainbow), (0:23) ./ 23)]

LScene

If you need a normal Makie scene in a layout, for example for 3D plots, you have to use LScene right now. It's just a wrapper around the normal Scene that makes it layoutable. The underlying Scene is accessible via the scene field. You can plot into the LScene directly, though.

Currently you should pass a couple of attributes explicitly to make sure they are not inherited from the main scene (which has a pixel camera, e.g.).

using Makie
using MakieLayout

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

lscenes = layout[1:2, 1:3] = [LScene(scene, camera = cam3d!, raw = false) for _ in 1:6]

[scatter!(lscenes[i], rand(100, 3), color = c)
    for (i, c) in enumerate([:red, :blue, :green, :orange, :black, :gray])]

LToggle

A toggle with an attribute active that can either be true or false, to enable or disable properties of an interactive plot.

using Makie
using MakieLayout

scene, layout = layoutscene(resolution = (1400, 900))

ax = layout[1, 1] = LAxis(scene)

toggles = [LToggle(scene, active = ac) for ac in [true, false]]
labels = [LText(scene, lift(x -> x ? "active" : "inactive", t.active))
    for t in toggles]

layout[1, 2] = grid!(hcat(toggles, labels), height = Auto(false))
