title: Xamarin.Forms GridLayout
body: <p>Can someone please explain the GridLayout references in Xamarin.Forms?</p>
  
  <p>Using the example on FormsGallery, also seen here <a href="http://iosapi.xamarin.com/?link=T%3aXamarin.Forms.Grid" rel="nofollow">http://iosapi.xamarin.com/?link=T%3aXamarin.Forms.Grid</a> (has an image too)
  I tried to work it out, but my trial and error hasn't been very successful, just very time-consuming.</p>
  
  <p>Looking at the first row of the grid the code is as follows</p>
  
  <pre><code>grid.Children.Add(new Label
     {
         Text = "Grid",
         Font = Font.BoldSystemFontOfSize(50),
         HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Center
    }, 0, 3, 0, 1);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it looks to me as though the first 0 refers to the X position, the 3 refers to column span, the next 0 refers to y position and the one refers to row span. But using that as a reference and trying to add other rows and columns it doesn't work. It would be great if their samples included some comments, but as they don't could someone tell me how the GridLayout references work?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers</p>
