Layout refers to the arrangement and organization of elements on a digital interface, such as a website, app, or document. It encompasses the structure, spacing, and visual hierarchy that guide the user's experience. A well-designed layout is not only visually appealing but also functional, ensuring that content is easy to find, read, and interact with.

This documentation provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, grids, columns, concepts, and tokens that should be followed when designing and developing layouts within our system.

Grid system

Anatomy

The anatomy of a grid is made up of several elements:

• The format is the entire area where the layout will be displayed.

• Flowlines are horizontal lines that divide the various sections of a grid into parallel bands.

• Columns are vertical divisions or sections that contain the content (12-column grid for desktop, 8-column grid for tablet, 4-column grid for mobile).

• Rows are horizontal divisions or sections of a grid.

• Modules represent spatial units formed by the intersection of rows and columns.

• Zones or regions are formed by groups of nearby modules, both vertically and horizontally

• The gutter is the distance between each column or row.

• Margins are the space between the content and the edges of the screen.
