UTILSLIB::LayoutLoader parses two complementary layout descriptions that mne-cpp consumes throughout its UI and forward-modelling stack:

• ANT .elc — the ASCII electrode list emitted by ANT/eemagine systems, carrying both 3-D head-frame and 2-D projected positions plus a per-file unit declaration (mm / cm / m); used when a user imports a new EEG cap or when DISP3DLIB builds the sensor visualisation.
• MNE .lout — the legacy MNE-C topographic layout used by DISPLIB::ButterflyView and the time-frequency plots, storing per-channel (x,y,width,height,name) tuples.

Both QString and std::string overloads are provided so the loader is callable from the Qt-aware GUI layer and from the pure-C++ test fixtures without a string conversion.
