Box Layout
The Box layout arranges the set of selected elements into a square grid.
The dimensions of the box are determined by the number of columns that either:
· | You set manually or |
· | The system automatically sets to a value that results in the same number of columns and rows (for example, 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 elements would all be arranged in a three-column rectangle). |
