how to create a custom layout in sublime text 2?

Question

I would like to create a 2 column layout where column 2 is split into 2 rows but havent really had any joy trying to find out how this can be done. I know that this layout gets added to Main.sublime-menu so I duplicated one of the layouts and called it Custom 1, not sure what I have to add in as the key/value pairs or array though. Could anyone possibly help me with this?

here is what im working with so far:

{
                        "caption": "Custom 1",
                        "command": "set_layout",
                        "args":
                        {
                            "cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
                            "rows": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
                            "cells": [[0, 0, 1, 1], [0, 1, 1, 2], [0, 2, 1, 3]]
                        }
                    }

Answer 1

Try this:

{
    "caption" : "Custom 1",
    "command": "set_layout",
    "args":
    {
        "cols": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
        "rows": [0.0, 0.5, 1.0],
        "cells":
        [
            [0, 0, 1, 2], [1, 0, 2, 1],
                          [1, 1, 2, 2]
        ]
    }
}
