GtkGrid is a container which arranges its child widgets in rows and columns.
It supports arbitrary positions and horizontal/vertical spans.
Children are added using [method@Gtk.Grid.attach]. They can span multiple rows or columns. It is also possible to add a child next to an existing child, using [method@Gtk.Grid.attach_next_to]. To remove a child from the grid, use [method@Gtk.Grid.remove].
The behaviour of GtkGrid when several children occupy the same grid cell is undefined.
GtkGrid as GtkBuildable
Every child in a GtkGrid has access to a custom [iface@Gtk.Buildable] element, called ´<layout>´. It can by used to specify a position in the grid and optionally spans. All properties that can be used in the ´<layout>´ element are implemented by [class@Gtk.GridLayoutChild].
It is implemented by GtkWidget using [class@Gtk.LayoutManager].
To showcase it, here is a simple example:
It organizes the first two buttons side-by-side in one cell each. The third button is in the last column but spans across two rows. This is defined by the ´row-span´ property. The last button is located in the second row and spans across two columns, which is defined by the ´column-span´ property.
CSS nodes
GtkGrid uses a single CSS node with name grid.
Accessibility
GtkGrid uses the %GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_GROUP role.
