# LayerRenderer.Layout.layered

A layout that specifies each view’s content as a slice of a single texture.

```
case layered
```

## Discussion

The layout uses a single texture to store the content for all rendered views. The type of the texture is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Metal/MTLTextureType/type2DArray>. The texture map’s slice index indicates which array slot contains each view’s content.
