- <description summary="let clients propose view positions and dimensions">
- This protocol specifies a way for clients to propose arbitrary positions and
- dimensions for a set of views on a specific output of a compositor through
- the river_layout_v1 object.
-
- This set of views is logically structured as a simple list. Views
- in this list cannot be individually addressed, instead the order of
- requests/events is significant.
-
- The entire set of proposed positions and dimensions for the views in the
- list are called a layout. Due to their list heritage, layouts are also
- logically strictly linear; Any complex underlying data structure a client
- may use when generating the layout is lost in transmission. This is an
- intentional limitation.
-
- Note that the client may need to handle multiple layout demands per
- river_layout_v1 object simultaneously.
-
- Warning! The protocol described in this file is currently in the testing
- phase. Backward compatible changes may be added together with the
- corresponding interface version bump. Backward incompatible changes can
- only be done by creating a new major version of the extension.

- The compositor sends this event to inform the client that it requires a

-
- The usable width and height height indicate the space in which the
- client can safely position views without interfering with desktop
- widgets such as panels.
-
- The serial of this event is used to identify subsequent events and
- request as belonging to this layout demand. Beware that the client
- might need to handle multiple layout demands at the same time.
-
- The server will ignore responses to all but the most recent
- layout demand. Thus, clients are only required to respond to the most
- recent layout_demand received. If a newer layout_demand is received
- before the client has finished responding to an old demand, the client
- may abort work on the old demand as any further work would be wasted.
