public class GridRows
extends java.lang.Object

GridRows is a utility class that may make it easier to create a grid using GridRow. It just provides some syntactic sugar so the code for using GridRow may appear to be more compact to some users. Here is the alternate code for Example10 that replaces the lines that create the seven rows for the grid and then the grid itself. This is available as Example11.

                GridRows rows=new GridRows();

                // First row 
                rows.newRow().add(lastName,lastNameE,firstName,firstNameE);


                // Second row 
                rows.newRow().add(phone,phoneE)
                    .add(new Row(NO_ALIGNMENT,CENTER,email,emailE)).span(2);


                // Third row 
                rows.newRow().add(address1,address1E).span(3);


                // Fourth row 
                rows.newRow().add(address2,address2E).span(3);


                // Fifth row 
                rows.newRow().add(city,cityE);


                // Sixth row 
                rows.newRow().add(state,stateE,postal,postalE);

                // Seventh row
                rows.newRow().add(county,countyE);

                CellGrid grid=rows.createCellGrid();
