description=Professional cartographic layout studio with coherent palettes, publication-quality symbology, geometry diagnostics, and print-ready map layouts.
about=Layout_IA is a cartographic layout assistant for QGIS. It lets you build a professional map with a single click: apply a coherent color palette (built-in themes, or your own custom palettes created in the built-in theme editor), check the geometry validity of your vector layers, build publication-quality symbology (bordered roads, shaded buildings, halo labels), then generate a print-ready A4/A3/A2 layout with title, legend, north arrow, scale bar and map frame, exportable to vector PDF or high-resolution PNG.
