Description
Hi Luca o/
I am looking for a layout to be used in the Revelation that preserves the most common positions of the windows (1, 2 and 3) and presenting the largest contents of the windows for easy identification.
-- (1) (2) (3)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | | | | | | 2 |
-- | 1 | -> | 1 | 2 | -> | 1 +-----| ->
-- | | | | | | | 3 |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- (4) (5) (6)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 2 | 3 |
-- +-----+-----+ -> +---+---+---+ -> +---+---+---+ ->
-- | 4 | 3 | | 5 | 4 | 3 | | 6 | 5 | 4 |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- (7) (8) (9)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | 2 | 5 | | | 3 | 6 | | 1 | 4 | 7 |
-- | +---+---+ | 1 |---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | 1 | 3 | 6 | -> |---| 4 | 7 | -> | 2 | 5 | 8 |
-- | +---+---+ | |---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | 4 | 7 | | 2 | 5 | 8 | | 3 | 6 | 9 |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
These positions I have no preference:
-- (1) (2) (3)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | | | | | | 2 |
-- | 1 | -> | 1 | 2 | -> | 1 +-----| ->
-- | | | | | | | 3 |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- (4) (5) (6)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | 1 | 2 | | ? | ? | | ? | ? | ? |
-- +-----+-----+ -> +---+---+---+ -> +---+---+---+ ->
-- | 4 | 3 | | ? | ? | ? | | ? | ? | ? |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- (7) (8) (9)
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | ? | ? | | | ? | ? | | ? | ? | ? |
-- | +---+---+ | ? |---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | ? | ? | ? | -> |---| ? | ? | -> | ? | ? | ? |
-- | +---+---+ | |---+---+ +---+---+---+
-- | | ? | ? | | ? | ? | ? | | ? | ? | ? |
-- +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+ +---+---+---+
