- `--layout=wide[,WIDTH]`: on a single line, possibly elided to the specified width
- `--layout=tall`: each commodity is displayed on a separate line
- `--layout=bare`: commodity symbols are displayed in a separate column, and amounts are displayed as bare numbers
- `--layout=bare`: amounts are displayed as bare numbers, with commodity symbols in a separate column
Examples:
- Wide layout. With many commodities, reports can be very wide:
```shell
$ hledger -f examples/bcexample.hledger bal assets:us:etrade -3 -T -Y --layout=wide
