Miscellaneous



Parallax Comics

You can make html with parallax being faked with 2-d images. This is done with some custom javascript, and tagging images with a z depth (called data-z in the editor). Just export to SVG, include your svg in your html, link in parallax.js and Viola!

parallax.js and parallax.css are included in the Laidout source code in the coop directory.

More examples

You can find various Laidout file examples in the source code repo under examples.

Also, under coop in the Laidout repo are various notes and scripts to help interoperating Laidout along with various other software. Some of these are getting rather out of date, but still might be useful somehow.



Experimental tools

Sometimes there are tools under heavy development with no documentation that are hidden by default. Tools that are even more unstable than the normal tool set. To try those out, you must start Laidout with laidout --experimental
