# GraffitiLayout
Class
## About
GraffitiLayout takes the guesswork out of designing static user interfaces for a wider variety of device sizes and scaling factors.
Once setup properly, simply changing the dimensions of your window or container will resize everything within and make it fit to your desired specifications. Its powerful optional features that allow for modifying placement, scaling, and drawing on-the-fly give you what you need to build great UIs.
