+    Demo - Multiple layouts in a single window that are swapped in and out
+
+    If you've ever wanted to replace the contents of a window with another layout then perhaps
+    this demo is for you.  You cannot actually change the layout of a window dynamically, but what
+    you can do is make elements visible and invisible.  
+    
+    To "swap out" a portion of a window, use a Column element for that portion.  Add multiple Columns
+    on the same row and make only 1 of them active at a time
+"""

+layout3 = [[sg.Text('This is layout 3 - It is all Radio Buttons')],
