public class Example4
extends java.lang.Object

This example illustrates the use of CellGrid to arrange the cells in a rectangular grid. The use of CellGrid is indicated here because the two columns around the white panel and the row below it are all required to align with it. Without the two side columns, it would be sufficient to create a single column containing the main white panel and the bottom row of buttons. Likewise, without the bottom row of buttons, it would be sufficient to create a single row of the three columns on the top.

Note that the code requires that the static methods of the class EasyCell be imported using the import static pagelayout.EasyCell.* statement.
