Band Width Example _ Irregular Matrix Anchor Layout
NOTE:
no two anchors in the illustration above are aligned to form either a row( two or more anchors equidistant from the y- edge) or a column( two or more anchors equidistant from the x- edge). Therefore, the anchor configuration above defines an“ irregular matrix layout” for which the“ band width” design approach will be utilized. For more information on the band width design approach, reference Band Width Approach for Irregular Anchor Layouts( page 38) and Special Cases for the Band Width Approach( page 42).
