#### 6.8.2 Redrawing the ECB-layout

If you have unintentionally destroyed the ECB-layout, you can always restore the layout with calling `ecb-redraw-layout`. This is even true, if you get messages like “wrong-type-argument window-live-p #<window 222>”.

If the variable `ecb-redraw-layout-quickly` is not nil then the redraw is done by the `ecb-redraw-layout-quickly` function, otherwise by `ecb-redraw-layout-full`. But it’s strongly recommended to use the quick redraw only if you have really slow machines where a full redraw takes several seconds because the quick redraw is not really safe and may have some drawbacks! On normal machines the full redraw should be done in << 1s!

Please read the documentation of the command `ecb-redraw-layout`!
