# Cards trellis layout

The various trellis layouts for cards are intended to guide the viewer through the metrics that you wish to highlight:

* **Grid**: The data is displayed in a row-by-column grid with panels of equal size with uniform scaling.
* **Compact grid:** This layout renders cards in compact stamp-sized panels. Due to efficient real-estate usage on the canvas, this layout is ideal for combining KPI cards with other visuals in a dashboard.
* **Single row:** All the cards will be accommodated in a single row.
* **Single column:** The chart and metrics are displayed side-by-side in this layout. The wide spacing enhances readability and facilitates comparative analysis between metrics. You can position the KPI metrics to the left or right side of the chart.

{% hint style="info" %}
Interactive resizing is available in the grid and compact grid layouts. You can drag the sides to resize the panels.

In the single-column layout, interactive resizing is available to adjust the card's height.

In the single-row layout, interactive resizing is available to adjust the card's width.
