module Logging
# The +Layout+ class provides methods for formatting log events into a
# string representation. Layouts are used by Appenders to format log
# events before writing them to the logging destination.
#
# All other Layouts inherit from this class which provides stub methods.
# Each subclass should provide a +format+ method. A layout can be used by
# more than one +Appender+ so all the methods need to be thread safe.
#
class Layout
# call-seq:
# Layout.new( :format_as => :string )
#
# Creates a new layout that will format objects as strings using the
# given :format_as style. This can be one of :string,
# :inspect, or :yaml. These formatting commands map to
# the following object methods:
#
# * :string => to_s
# * :inspect => inspect
# * :yaml => to_yaml
# * :json => MultiJson.encode(obj)
#
# If the format is not specified then the global object format is used
# (see Logging#format_as). If the global object format is not specified
# then :string is used.
