Scroll Grid	Screen that combines features of both the grid and scroll canvas.
Dock Panel	You can arrange objects so they are placed from the top, bottom, left, or right side of the Layout object. The last placed object is adjusted to fit into the remaining unused area.
Stack Panel	Objects are aligned to stack vertically (top to bottom) or horizontally (left to right).
Uniform Grid	The size of placed objects are all the same. If you set the number of rows and columns, objects are placed in order from the top left, to the right. If rows and columns are not set up, the area of the Layout object is divided by the number of objects and the size and position of objects are adjusted to fit.
