### Commodity column ### Commodity layout
With `--commodity-column`, commodity symbols are displayed in a separate column, and amounts are displayed as bare numbers. With `--layout`, you can control how amounts with more than one commodity are displayed:
In this mode, each report row will show amounts for a single commodity, using extra rows when necessary. - `--layout=wide[,WIDTH]`: on a single line, possibly elided to the specified width
It can be useful for a cleaner display of reports with many commodities: - `--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
