river/contrib/layout.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
#
# Fibonacci sprial layout for river, implemented in simple python. Reading this
# code should help you get a basic understanding of how to use river-layout to
# create a basic layout generator.
#
# This depends on pywayland: https://github.com/flacjacket/pywayland/
#
# Q: Wow, this looks complicated!
# A: For simple layouts, you really only need to care about what's in the
#    layout_handle_layout_demand() function. And the rest isn't as complicated
#    as it looks.
