# Layout
<Class id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/transpiler/layout.py" signature="Layout(input_dict=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `object`
Two-ways dict to represent a Layout.
construct a Layout from a bijective dictionary, mapping virtual qubits to physical qubits
## Methods
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-add" />
### add
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.add" signature="Layout.add(virtual_bit, physical_bit=None)">
Adds a map element between bit and physical\_bit. If physical\_bit is not defined, bit will be mapped to a new physical bit (extending the length of the layout by one.)
**Parameters**
* **virtual\_bit** (*tuple*) A (qu)bit. For example, (QuantumRegister(3, qr), 2).
* **physical\_bit** (*int*) A physical bit. For example, 3.
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-add-register" />
### add\_register
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.add_register" signature="Layout.add_register(reg)">
Adds at the end physical\_qubits that map each bit in reg.
**Parameters**
**reg** (*Register*) A (qu)bit Register. For example, QuantumRegister(3, qr).
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-combine-into-edge-map" />
### combine\_into\_edge\_map
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.combine_into_edge_map" signature="Layout.combine_into_edge_map(another_layout)">
Combines self and another\_layout into an “edge map”.
For example:
```python
self another_layout resulting edge map
qr_1 -> 0 0 <- q_2 qr_1 -> q_2
qr_2 -> 2 2 <- q_1 qr_2 -> q_1
qr_3 -> 3 3 <- q_0 qr_3 -> q_0
```
The edge map is used to compose dags via, for example, compose.
**Parameters**
**another\_layout** ([*Layout*](qiskit.transpiler.Layout "qiskit.transpiler.Layout")) The other layout to combine.
**Returns**
A “edge map”.
**Return type**
dict
**Raises**
**LayoutError** another\_layout can be bigger than self, but not smaller. Otherwise, raises.
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-copy" />
### copy
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.copy" signature="Layout.copy()">
Returns a copy of a Layout instance.
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-from-dict" />
### from\_dict
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.from_dict" signature="Layout.from_dict(input_dict)">
Populates a Layout from a dictionary.
The dictionary must be a bijective mapping between virtual qubits (tuple) and physical qubits (int).
**Parameters**
**input\_dict** (*dict*)
e.g.:
```python
{(QuantumRegister(3, 'qr'), 0): 0,
(QuantumRegister(3, 'qr'), 1): 1,
(QuantumRegister(3, 'qr'), 2): 2}
Can be written more concisely as follows:
* virtual to physical::
{qr[0]: 0,
qr[1]: 1,
qr[2]: 2}
* physical to virtual::
{0: qr[0],
1: qr[1],
2: qr[2]}
```
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-from-intlist" />
### from\_intlist
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.from_intlist" signature="Layout.from_intlist(int_list, *qregs)" modifiers="static">
Converts a list of integers to a Layout mapping virtual qubits (index of the list) to physical qubits (the list values).
**Parameters**
* **int\_list** (*list*) A list of integers.
* **\*qregs** (*QuantumRegisters*) The quantum registers to apply the layout to.
**Returns**
The corresponding Layout object.
**Return type**
[Layout](qiskit.transpiler.Layout "qiskit.transpiler.Layout")
**Raises**
**LayoutError** Invalid input layout.
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-from-qubit-list" />
### from\_qubit\_list
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.from_qubit_list" signature="Layout.from_qubit_list(qubit_list, *qregs)" modifiers="static">
Populates a Layout from a list containing virtual qubits, Qubit or None.
**Parameters**
* **qubit\_list** (*list*) e.g.: \[qr\[0], None, qr\[2], qr\[3]]
* **\*qregs** (*QuantumRegisters*) The quantum registers to apply the layout to.
**Returns**
the corresponding Layout object
**Return type**
[Layout](qiskit.transpiler.Layout "qiskit.transpiler.Layout")
**Raises**
**LayoutError** If the elements are not Qubit or None
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-transpiler-layout-generate-trivial-layout" />
### generate\_trivial\_layout
<Function id="qiskit.transpiler.Layout.generate_trivial_layout" signature="Layout.generate_trivial_layout(*regs)" modifiers="static">
Creates a trivial (“one-to-one”) Layout with the registers and qubits in regs.
**Parameters**
**\*regs** (*Registers, Qubits*) registers and qubits to include in the layout.
**Returns**
A layout with all the regs in the given order.
**Return type**
[Layout](qiskit.transpiler.Layout "qiskit.transpiler.Layout")
