- QGrid ( int n, QWidget * parent=0, const char * name=0, WFlags f=0 )

## Detailed Description

The QGrid widget performs geometry management on its children

The number of rows or columns is defined in the constructor. All its children will be placed and sized according to their sizeHint() and sizePolicy() return values.

Use setMargin() to add space around the edge, and use setSpacing() to add space between the widgets.

For more general control over grid layout, including multi-column and multi-row widgets, use the QGridLayout class directly.

See also QVBox and QHBox.
