Grid

There are a number of properties relating to the Textual grid layout.

For an in-depth look at the grid layout, visit the grid guide.

Property	Description
grid-size	Number of columns and rows in the grid layout.
grid-rows	Height of grid rows.
grid-columns	Width of grid columns.
grid-gutter	Spacing between grid cells.
row-span	Number of rows a cell spans.
column-span	Number of columns a cell spans.

Syntax

grid-size: <INTEGER> [<INTEGER>];
/* columns first, then rows */
grid-rows: <SCALAR> . . .;
grid-columns: <SCALAR> . . .;
grid-gutter: <SCALAR>;
row-span: <INTEGER>;
column-span: <INTEGER>;

Example

The example below shows all the properties above in action. The grid-size: 3 4; declaration sets the grid to 3 columns and 4 rows. The first cell of the grid, tinted magenta, shows a cell spanning multiple rows and columns. The spacing between grid cells is because of the grid-gutter declaration.
