+# Display layouts
+
+Run either scene with F6:
+
+- `scenes/layout_landscape.tscn`: 1920×1080, 32×18 grid.
+- `scenes/layout_dual_portrait.tscn`: two independent 1080×1920 windows, each 18×32. With two portrait monitors detected, each window is maximized on its own screen; otherwise, smaller windows open side by side. Disable `use_portrait_monitors` to force the windowed preview.
+
+The reference cell size is 60px. Window scaling is uniform and independent of the project's stretch scale. Physical monitor placement still needs checking on the target hardware.
+
+## Editing
+
+Hover briefly in the top-left corner to enter overview. The trigger uses a 20-pixel window area, including letterboxing, independently of UI scale. In dual portrait, only the left window owns the hot corner; both windows enter overview together.
+
+**Add element** opens a scrollable library. Select an entry and click Add element (or double-click it). Panels use the first free space, falling back to their minimum size if needed. Multiple instances are supported; a full grid leaves the library open with a no-space message.
+
+Select and drag a panel to move it. Selected panels show three buttons:
+
+- **↘**: drag to resize from the bottom-right edge.
+- **×**: remove the panel from this layout.
+- **⚙**: settings, currently disabled.
+
+Moves and sizes snap to cells. Occupied space, minimum sizes, and window boundaries block invalid placements; invalid drops return to their starting position. Escape or leaving overview cancels an unfinished drag. Panels stay within their own window.
+
+Changes save automatically as JSON under `user://layouts/`: `landscape.json`, `portrait_left.json`, and `portrait_right.json`. Godot resolves `user://` to the application's user-data directory (the XDG data location on Linux), available from `OS.get_user_data_dir()`. To store files beside a writable application instead, set each canvas's `config_path` to an absolute path in that folder. Existing `.cfg` layouts migrate on first load when no JSON file exists; the originals are retained. **Reset layout** restores default positions, sizes, and deleted panels. Exit with Escape, Return to dashboard, or a click outside the preview.
+
+## JSON format
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "grid": [32, 18],
+  "elements": [
+    {"id": "camera", "type": "camera", "rect": [0, 0, 16, 10]}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+The elements array is the complete active layout; omitted default panels stay deleted. IDs distinguish repeated instances. Writes use a temporary file followed by rename. Invalid types, duplicate IDs, overlaps, and out-of-bounds rectangles are rejected before changing the displayed layout.
+
+## Scene structure
+
+`layout_overview.tscn` owns the shader grid and toolbar. Each `layout_canvas.tscn` places its panel children using `layout_item.gd`; set their IDs, cell rectangles, and minimum sizes in the Inspector. Existing UI scenes remain under each item's `Content` node. Each allocation has a full-size panel background with a shared `panel_gap` (16 logical pixels by default). Instruments scale uniformly inside that frame; reserved slots fill it. Embedded component backgrounds are transparent so their scaling does not change the visible gutters. The camera retains its 16:9 picture inside the camera/header allocation.
+
+The initial layouts deliberately leave free cells for rearranging. Environment, VR/video, and operator tools are placeholders. The Link panel has a separate [telemetry demo](link_panel.md). Camera and telemetry feeds are not connected.
+
+The library registry is `scripts/layout_catalog.gd`. Each entry supplies a scene, display text, preferred/minimum cells and sizing behavior. JSON stores registered type IDs rather than resource paths. `components/layout_library.tscn` owns the drawer; selection button order is unchanged.
+
+`LayoutItemBackground` supplies the shared outer frame. Components with a separate background node can specify `background_path` on their item (or `background` in the catalog entry); root PanelContainers are embedded automatically. Standalone component scenes retain their own styling.
