Description Jan Stola 2011-05-08 16:09:04 UTC 
A vertical layout of a grid-based design usually alternates gap columns (i.e., empty columns whose the only purpose is to separate components) and component columns (i.e., columns whose purpose is to hold components). Similarly, a horizontal layout alternates gap rows and column rows.

Many advanced tools for grid-based layout design reflect that and create this structure automatically. See, for example, JFormDesigner.

It would be nice to have this kind of support in grid designer in NetBeans.
