<title>Grid Panes</title>
</properties>
<body>
<p>
Grid panes are used to arrange components in a fixed two-dimensional grid. Grid panes
have a "columnCount" property that defines the column structure of the grid and a "rows"
collection that defines both the row structure of the grid and the contents of each
row.
</p>
<p>
Each cell in a grid pane is given the same size, based on the available width and
height. For more complex table layouts, <tt>TablePane</tt>, discussed next, may be
used.
</p>
<p>
Below is a simple application that demonstrates the use of the <tt>GridPane</tt>
component. Note the use of the <tt>GridPane.Filler</tt> component, which is used to
insert empty cells:
