one layout is needed. However, if labels are arranged in multiple
grids, such as a running bond pattern, multiple
<code translate="no">Layout</code> tags can be used. </p>
+ <p>A common example for multiple layouts is a sheet with three
+ CD labels:</p>
+
+ <!-- ==== Figure ==== -->
+ <figure>
+ <desc>CD label sheet</desc>
+ <media type="image" src="figures/layouts-cdlabel.png" mime="image/png" style="right">
+ <p>CD label sheet</p>
+ </media>
+ </figure>
+ <!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
+
+ <p>The two labels on the left edge can be assigned to a grid, assuming we
+ can define the coordinates for the top left label and the distance to
+ the second label properly. The distance to the left edge is common to
+ these labels. The third one on the right edge has no common distance
+ values with the other ones, that's why we have to define a second layout,
+ with unique coordinates for the top left corner of that label.</p>
+
+ <note style="tip">
+ <p>You can define multiple layouts only if the labels on the sheet
+ have the same shape. If your sheet contains different shapes, you have
+ to define each shape in another template seperately. Future versions
+ of <app>gLabels</app> will probably be able to concatenate such sheets
+ with different shapes within a single template.</p>

<p>A single label can always be treated as a grid of one.</p>
