# Grid Constraints Properties

Description of the grid constraints set of properties.

## Calling Sequence

                constraints = createConstraints("grid")

## Arguments

constraints

  The created constraints.

## Description

This functions creates the grid constraints to set the uicontrols `constraints` attribute.

## Examples

             //Create a figure with a grid layout
             f = figure( ...
             "dockable"        , "off",...
