*''Layout Tool'' [#l26d8dec]

The layout feature allows for the design and effects of various game screens, menus, and scenes.
For example, a game title screen is assigned a layout called "Title," which is made up of several layout parts such as "Background" and "Title Name.
The actual effect and settings are then performed on the layout parts that make up the layout.
The layout tool brings together all of these layout-related elements.
