Use Grid Panels for layouts where rows and columns guide the flow. Add one from the left sidebar. Children flow through the grid in order; dragging or moving them changes their place in that flow.

Unlike a Table Panel, children are not assigned to specific cells.

Common properties

Most blocks share these controls in the right sidebar. Selecting a child also shows controls for its parent layout.

PropertyDetails
SizeWidth can be fixed, percentage-based, or automatic. Height can be fixed, flexible, or constrained by minimum and maximum values. Lock the aspect ratio to preserve proportions. Size values support variables.
ArrangeX and Y position blocks on the canvas or inside Free Panels, using fixed values or percentage anchors. Alignment controls place blocks at common positions. Rotate, flip, lock, or change the layer order.
BackgroundChoose a solid color, a linear, radial, or conic gradient, or a pattern. Colors support variables. Gradient stops have colors and positions and are sorted by position; linear and conic gradients also have an angle. Pattern colors and size support variables, with controls varying by pattern.
BorderSimple mode shares color, thickness, style, and radius across all sides. Advanced mode sets each side's color, thickness, and style and each corner's radius independently.
ShadowAdd layers of regular shadow, inner shadow, or glow, subject to the block-specific limits below.

Canvas and block backgrounds are separate: transparent areas reveal the parent or canvas. Patterns are based on CSS Pattern. See Sizing and positioning for sizing modes and position anchors.

Auto size to grid cell makes a child fill its assigned area. Disable it when the child should keep its own width or height.

Property Details
Padding Space inside the panel edge. Simple mode sets all sides; Advanced mode sets each side. Separate from gaps and child margins.
Columns Number and sizing of columns.
Rows Number and sizing of rows.
Column gap Space between columns.
Row gap Space between rows.
Justify items Default horizontal alignment of children.
Align items Default vertical alignment of children.

Select a child to adjust its behavior inside the Grid Panel.

Property Details
Columns Number of columns the child spans.
Rows Number of rows the child spans.
Horizontal align Horizontal alignment override.
Vertical align Vertical alignment override.
Margin Extra space around the child.
Auto size to grid cell Whether the child fills its assigned grid area.

Grid tracks

Each column and row has its own size and background. Select a track using its hover selector or the collapsible Rows and Columns sections in the panel sidebar.

Size modeBehavior
DefinedUse fr, %, or px.
AutoSize to the content.
Min ContentUse the smallest intrinsic size.
Max ContentUse the largest intrinsic size.

Track backgrounds create bands or highlights. Child backgrounds appear above them; transparent children let the track background show through.

See Advanced panels for help choosing and combining panel types.

Templated content

Many properties can use variables to assign their value when each image is created. Variables can be required, ignored, or given a fallback value. Pass values in template_values when rendering the template.
