    public class Grid

extends HTMLTable

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.

### Example

>     public class GridExample implements EntryPoint {

>       public void onModuleLoad() {
>         // Grids must be sized explicitly, though they can be resized later.
>         Grid g = new Grid(5, 5);

>         // Put some values in the grid cells.
>         for (int row = 0; row < 5; ++row) {
>           for (int col = 0; col < 5; ++col)
>             g.setText(row, col, "" + row + ", " + col);
>         }

>         // Just for good measure, let's put a button in the center.
>         g.setWidget(2, 2, new Button("Does nothing, but could"));

>         // You can use the CellFormatter to affect the layout of the grid's cells.
>         g.getCellFormatter().setWidth(0, 2, "256px");

>         RootPanel.get().add(g);
>       }
>     }
