Using grid panels
The tags described in this topic are deprecated. They will be removed in a future release. You should change to the new tags. See Using new tags to configure the panels in a window.
Use the GridPanel tag to arrange panels into a specified number of rows and columns. Display server deployments do not support grid layout.
This tag supports the following attributes:
Attribute
Description
columns
Sets the number of columns in the grid. If the number of columns is not specified, it will be calculated based on the number of RTViewPanels and the specified number of rows.
rows
Sets the number of rows in the grid. If the number of rows is not specified, it will be calculated based on the number of RTViewPanels and the specified number of columns.
Here is an example:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<panels xmlns="www.sl.com" version="1.0">
<GridPanel title="Test of Grid Panels" rows="0" columns="3">
  <RTViewPanel name="detail1" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'101'"/>
  <RTViewPanel name="detail2" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'102'"/>
  <RTViewPanel name="detail3" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'103'"/>
  <RTViewPanel name="detail4" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'201'"/>
  <RTViewPanel name="detail5" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'202'"/>
  <RTViewPanel name="detail6" display="small_panel" subs="$title:'203'"/>
</GridPanel>
</panels>
When you create displays for use in grid panels, the height and width of each display must be the same. To set the height and width of a display in the Dashboard Builder, select File > Background Properties and set the Model Width and Model Height. If you are using a background image for your display, create the image so that the height and width of the image are one pixel larger than the size you want the display to be.
