/**
 * GridLayoutFactory creates and initializes grid layouts. There are two ways to use GridLayoutFactory.
 * Normally, it is used as a shorthand for writing "new GridLayout()" and initializing a bunch
 * of fields. In this case the main benefit is a more concise syntax and the ability to create more
 * than one identical GridLayout from the same factory. Changing a property of the factory will affect
 * future layouts created by the factory, but has no effect on layouts that have already been created.
 *
 * <p>
 * GridLayoutFactory can also generate grid data for all the controls in a layout. This is done with
 * the generateLayout method. To use this feature:
 * </p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>Create the composite</li>
 * <li>Create all the controls in the composite</li>
 * <li>Call generateLayout</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>
 * The order here is important. generateLayout must be called after all the child controls have
 * been created. generateLayout will not change any layout data that has already been attached
 * to a child control and it will not recurse into nested composites.
 * </p>
