For each high-level task that the user works on there is a separate layout.
A layout describes a specific configuration of the interface best suited for certain task. For example,
a user might use one layout for monitoring, another for debugging and a third for developing a certain system.
Multi-Layout Rectangular design
In the multi-layout rectangular design the user can have several layout open as shortcuts / tabs.
That will allow for easy switching between high-level tasks and lets the user to organize the visualizations into categories.
When the user selects a layout by tapping, the screen slides to the left and and the layout is shown.
Each visualization is contained in a rectangle (hence Rectangular) the user can move visualizations around by dragging them and change their properties by tapping on them. The screen slides to the right where the user can specify the parameters of the visualisation : channel, property (within the channel), visualisation type (histogram, plot through time, etc.).
A challenge for this design is making visible the afordance that the visiualisations can be dragged arround with a finger. For this we rely on intuition the user has from using other mobile interfaces (ex. iOS main menu behaves in a similar way).
Single-Layout List design
