+"""The box model: a figure's areas measured into bands, the grid solved, every area placed
+into a frozen :class:`Geometry`.
+
+* **Measure.**  :func:`plot_io.boxes.measure` gives the :class:`~plot_io.geometry.Bands`
+  around a plot's axes of a given size, from its box tree (:mod:`plot_io.boxes`: tick
+  marks, tick labels, the label row and ×10ᵏ offsets of each axis, twin axes, attached
+  colorbars, an outside legend, the titles and the plot's ``space_above``);
+  :func:`plot_io.rows.bands` adds the row label and group letter bands, the outermost on
+  the left, aligned per grid column.  The ticks the bands hold are computed first for the
+  axes' length (:func:`plot_io.boxes.prepare`).
+* **Solve.**  The grid (ids with spans, ``fr`` and fixed sizes, ``reference`` and
+  ``align``) takes, per line between cells, the largest margin of the areas there.  Only
+  what is circular is iterated, in rounds, until no axes size changes by more than 1/3 px:
+  axis length → ticks → label sizes → axis length, ``data_ratio``, stats binned at the
+  axes' resolution (hexagon lattices, genome bins), and the lanes of figure titles wrapped
+  to their spans.
+  ``inside="auto"`` and ``"best"`` colorbars, then legends, are chosen on the occupancy
+  grid once the axes are placed, before the last round; one that finds no free place
+  inside moves out (a colorbar to the bottom of its plot, a legend to the right).
+* **Lanes.**  Figure titles, legends and colorbars are nodes on the grid's lines
+  (:class:`_Lane`: a thickness measured along their span, a placement from their lane's
+  near edge): a top title above the topmost row it covers, a bottom one below the
+  bottommost, left and right ones beside the columns; a group's label is a left title over
+  its plots; the main title (on top, unrotated, without an ``order``) is the outermost
+  lane of the top, over every plot.  The lanes of a line add to the gap there: spacing
+  between rows (or columns) plus the lanes; at the figure's edge, the margin, the lanes and
+  another margin between them and the plots (none when the main title is alone there:
+  its ``pad`` parts it from them).  On one side of a line, a title nested in another sits
+  nearer the plots, disjoint spans share a lane, overlapping ones take lanes in creation
+  order, and ``order`` overrides; a lane is as thick as its thickest node.  Over the same
+  plots, from the plots outward: legend, colorbar, title.  A figure legend shows the
+  entries of its plots, which those plots' legends then leave out; a figure colorbar
+  replaces its plots' attached colorbars of its axis.
+* **Place.**  Each area becomes a geometry record (:mod:`plot_io.geometry`; a plot's
+  nodes at the offsets their bands were measured at, :func:`plot_io.boxes.place_plot`);
+  each lane node its record (the main title the figure's title paragraph).  ``only=``
+  lays out the whole figure without the lanes and keeps one plot, at its size in the
+  figure, with its outer labels, its own titles, its whole legend and its attached
+  colorbars.
+
+All lengths are px.
