title: How does the different layouts in awesome work?
body: <p>I have been using <a href="http://awesome.naquadah.org/" rel="noreferrer">awesome</a> in on ubuntu 14.04 for a while. The default layouts defined in <code>rc.lua</code> is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>layouts =
  {
      awful.layout.suit.floating,
      awful.layout.suit.tile,
      awful.layout.suit.tile.left,
      awful.layout.suit.tile.bottom,
      awful.layout.suit.tile.top,
      awful.layout.suit.fair,
      awful.layout.suit.fair.horizontal,
      awful.layout.suit.spiral,
      awful.layout.suit.spiral.dwindle,
      awful.layout.suit.max,
      awful.layout.suit.max.fullscreen,
      awful.layout.suit.magnifier
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a hard time to wrap my head around this! Some of them I managed to understand (I think) just by testing them out, but not all of them.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to find some documentation that describes it but with no success. Is there some documentation where I can read about them and the conceptual thoughts behind it all? When and how they are suitable for different tasks.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that its individual but if there was some sort of information at all about these things the awesome community would benefit greatly form that I think!</p>
