## Remarks


You do not create instances of this class directly. Use the [LayoutOptions](../../aspose.words/document/get_layoutoptions/) property to access layout options for this document.

Note that after changing any of the options present in this class, [UpdatePageLayout](../../aspose.words/document/updatepagelayout/) method should be called in order for the changed options to be applied to the layout.

## Examples



Shows how to hide text in a rendered output document. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Insert hidden text, then specify whether we wish to omit it from a rendered document.
builder->Writeln(u"This text is not hidden.");
builder->get_Font()->set_Hidden(true);
builder->Writeln(u"This text is hidden.");

doc->get_LayoutOptions()->set_ShowHiddenText(showHiddenText);

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Document.LayoutOptionsHiddenText.pdf");
```


Shows how to show paragraph marks in a rendered output document. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Add some paragraphs, then enable paragraph marks to show the ends of paragraphs
// with a pilcrow (¶) symbol when we render the document.
builder->Writeln(u"Hello world!");
builder->Writeln(u"Hello again!");

doc->get_LayoutOptions()->set_ShowParagraphMarks(showParagraphMarks);

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Document.LayoutOptionsParagraphMarks.pdf");
```


Shows how to alter the appearance of revisions in a rendered output document. 
```cpp
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::Document>();
auto builder = System::MakeObject<Aspose::Words::DocumentBuilder>(doc);

// Insert a revision, then change the color of all revisions to green.
builder->Writeln(u"This is not a revision.");
doc->StartTrackRevisions(u"John Doe", System::DateTime::get_Now());
builder->Writeln(u"This is a revision.");
doc->StopTrackRevisions();
builder->Writeln(u"This is not a revision.");

// Remove the bar that appears to the left of every revised line.
doc->get_LayoutOptions()->get_RevisionOptions()->set_InsertedTextColor(RevisionColor::BrightGreen);
doc->get_LayoutOptions()->get_RevisionOptions()->set_ShowRevisionBars(false);
doc->get_LayoutOptions()->get_RevisionOptions()->set_RevisionBarsPosition(HorizontalAlignment::Right);

doc->Save(get_ArtifactsDir() + u"Revision.LayoutOptionsRevisions.pdf");
```
