function [cfg] = ft_layoutplot(cfg, data)

% FT_LAYOUTPLOT makes a figure with the 2-D layout of the channel positions
% for topoplotting and the individual channel axes (i.e. width and height
% of the subfigures) for multiplotting. A correct 2-D layout is a
% prerequisite  for plotting the topographical distribution of the
% potential or field distribution, or for plotting timecourses in a
% topographical arrangement.
%
% This function uses the same configuration options as prepare_layout and
% as the topoplotting and multiplotting functions. The difference is that
% this function plots the layout without any data, which facilitates
% the validation of your 2-D layout.
%
% Use as
%   ft_layoutplot(cfg, data)
%
% There are several ways in which a 2-D layout can be made: it can be read
% directly from a *.lay file, it can be created based on 3-D electrode or
% gradiometer positions in the configuration or in the data, or it can be
% created based on the specification of an electrode of gradiometer file.
%
% You can specify either one of the following configuration options
%   cfg.layout      = filename containg the layout
%   cfg.rotate      = number, rotation around the z-axis in degrees (default = [], which means automatic)
%   cfg.projection  = string, 2D projection method can be 'stereographic', 'ortographic', 'polar', 'gnomic' or 'inverse' (default = 'orthographic')
%   cfg.elec        = structure with electrode definition
%   cfg.grad        = structure with gradiometer definition
%   cfg.elecfile    = filename containing electrode definition
%   cfg.gradfile    = filename containing gradiometer definition
%   cfg.output      = filename to which the layout will be written (default = [])
%   cfg.montage     = 'no' or a montage structure (default = 'no')
%   cfg.image       = filename, use an image to construct a layout (e.g. usefull for ECoG grids)
%
% Alternatively the layout can be constructed from either
%   data.elec     structure with electrode positions
%   data.grad     structure with gradiometer definition
%
% Alternatively, you can specify
%   cfg.layout = 'ordered'
% which will give you a 2-D ordered layout. Note that this is only suited
% for multiplotting and not for topoplotting.
%
% To facilitate data-handling and distributed computing you can use
%   cfg.inputfile   =  ...
% If you specify this option the input data will be read from a *.mat
% file on disk. This mat files should contain only a single variable named 'data',
% corresponding to the input structure.
