2
This widget represents a panel that lays all of its widgets out in a single horizontal column.
3
This widget represents a panel that lays all of its widgets out in a single vertical column.
4
This widget represents a panel that arranges two widgets in a single horizontal row and allows the user to interactively change the proportion of the width dedicated to each of the two widgets. Widgets contained within a HorizontalSplitPanel will be automatically decorated with scrollbars when necessary.
5
This widget represents a A panel that arranges two widgets in a single vertical column and allows the user to interactively change the proportion of the height dedicated to each of the two widgets. Widgets contained within a VertialSplitPanel will be automatically decorated with scrollbars when necessary.

7
This widget represents a A rectangular grid that can contain text, html, or a child Widget within its cells. It must be resized explicitly to the desired number of rows and columns.

This widget represents a panel that lays its child widgets out "docked" at its outer edges, and allows its last widget to take up the remaining space in its center.
10
This widget represents a panel that contains HTML, and which can attach child widgets to identified elements within that HTML.
11
