### Data layout ### Data layout
With `--layout`, you can influence how amounts with more than one commodity are displayed (and a bit more), The `--layout` option affects how multi-commodity amounts are displayed,
which in turn affects the layout of the report data: and some other things, influencing the overall layout of the report data:
- `--layout=wide[,WIDTH]`: commodities are shown on a single line, possibly elided to the specified width - `--layout=wide[,WIDTH]`: commodities are shown on a single line, possibly elided to the specified width
- `--layout=tall`: each commodity is shown on a separate line - `--layout=tall`: each commodity is shown on a separate line
- `--layout=bare`: amounts are shown as bare numbers, with commodity symbols in a separate column - `--layout=bare`: amounts are shown as bare numbers, with commodity symbols in a separate column
- `--layout=tidy`: data is normalised to [tidy](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/tidyr/vignettes/tidy-data.html) form, with one row per data value (supported with CSV output only) - `--layout=tidy`: data is normalised to [tidy] form, with one row per data value.
This is supported with CSV output format only.
Totals and row averages are disabled in this mode (`-N/--no-total` is implied and `-T/--row-total` and `-A/--average` will be ignored).
