UIGrid is an element of the NWN2's GUI interface which arranges an array of sub elements in a grid and takes care of cell formatting, like padding and spacing.
A simple UI Grid is defined as follows:
<UIGrid name="MY_TEST_GRID" x="0" y="0" rows="3" columns="5" xPadding="2" yPadding="6"> <!-- content to be in the Array/Grid boxes goes here --> <UIFrame state=base fill="b_overlay.tga" /> </UIGrid
The above example would produce a simple Grid with the frame overlay effect in each cell. See below:
