UIGridLayout

A UIGridLayout (not to be confused with the abstract UIGridStyleLayout from which this class inherits) lays out sibling UI elements in multiple rows within the parent UI element, adding elements to a row one-by-one until the next element would not fit. It then continues adding elements in the next row. A UIGridLayout will take UI elements' GuiObject.Size and GuiObject.Position under control. While under control, these UI elements' properties will not be editable in the Properties window.

By default, it lays out elements in ascending order where lower values take more priority over higher values, but this can be changed to use elements' names by changing UIListLayout.SortOrder to Name. A UIListLayout will automatically re-layout elements when elements are added/removed, or if a relevant property changes: GuiObject.LayoutOrder or Instance.Name. This can be triggered manually by calling UIGridStyleLayout:ApplyLayout(), though this is typically not necessary.

The actual cell sizes are the same for all cells. A UIGridLayout will respect UI constraints placed with it, such as UISizeConstraint and UIAspectRatioConstraint. Elements in the layout can span multiple cells if they have a UISizeConstraint with a MinSize set higher than the CellSize. It is possible to limit the number of elements per row using UIGridLayout.FillDirectionMaxCells. If set to 1, it is possible to create a single row of elements (as each element would be positioned in its own row).

This layout is appropriate when line breaks are OK after arbitrary cells. For example, a set of inventory spaces is a good use of this layout. If building a table of values in which a line break is not appropriate in the middle of tabular data, it might be a better idea to use a UITableLayout instead.
