<ul><li><a href="/facts/Page_layout/DkpES0M3">Page layout</a> is the computation of the position of the paragraphs, tabs, sentences, words and letters of a text. This is done by <a href="/facts/Desktop_publishing/gUPtzSnH">desktop publishing</a> software, <a href="/facts/Typesetting/CsKmfY0t">typesetting</a> software, and <a href="/facts/Web_browser/2pfyymLs">web browsers</a>. These programs typically have dedicated layout <a href="/facts/Subroutine/9vFJrg0A">routines</a> to calculate the correct position of glyphs and embedded images.</li>
<li>Some <a href="/facts/Widget_toolkit/v8wM8wwy">widget toolkits</a> include a <a href="/facts/Layout_manager/QhYTMtcU">layout manager</a>. This component automatically calculates a widget's position based on alignment constraints without the need for the programmer to specify absolute coordinates.</li>
<li><a href="/facts/Graph_drawing/uhh73BVo">Graph drawing</a> software automatically determine the position of the vertexes and edges of a graph with various goals like minimization of the number of edge intersections, minimization of total area or production of an aesthetically pleasing result.</li>
