                layout_options = createLayoutOptions("grid", size, padding)

## Arguments

size

  1×2 vector [nRows, nCols]: The numbers of rows and columns of cells (not of pixels) of the grid. [0,0] by default.

  A value of -1 for either nRows or nCols defines an indefinite number of elements in the columns or rows.

padding
