Description

This command is used for setting view types and view layouts. It changes the current interface layout to one of eight indexed layouts or changes a current view to any of the four available view types.

Using the -v options, you may configure the preset layouts to contain named layout elements in each of the views defined by any layout.

The number of views ranges from one to four. They are numbered left to right, with the first (-v1) being located in the upper left, the fourth (-v4) located in the lower right.

The argument for the type of viewLayout is optional if any of the flags are used.
