Layout

The Vitis analyzer also lets you arrange reports in different layouts, and save those layouts for reuse. This allows you to arrange two reports for comparison, or to check one report against the other. The Layout menu in the main menu lets you switch between existing layouts, or save a custom report layout using the Save Layout As command. You can also Reset Layout to return it to its saved configuration, or Remove Layout to eliminate saved layout.
