To attach a widget child in position left, top in a slot of given width, height use attach(child, top, left, width, height). If a widget sibling is already in place, we can also use attach_next_to(child, sibling, side, width, height), where side is one of Gtk.PositionType.LEFT, Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, Gtk.PositionType.TOP, Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM.
insert_row(position) and insert_column(position) do exactly what they say; children which are attached at or below this position are moved one row down, and children which span across this position are grown to span the new row. insert_next_to(sibling, side) inserts a row or column at the specified position. The new row or column is placed next to sibling, on the side determined by side; if side is Gtk.PositionType.TOP or Gtk.PositionType.BOTTOM, a row is inserted, if side is Gtk.PositionType.LEFT or Gtk.PositionType.RIGHT, a column is inserted.
set_row_homogeneous(True) and set_column_homogeneous(True) ensure that (respectively) every row or every column has the same width or height.
set_row_spacing(spacing) and set_column_spacing(spacing) force a spacing between (respectively) rows or columns. The value of spacing can be between 0, which is the default value, and 32767.
