Properties
| Property | Description |

| GridColumns | Number of basic (unmerged) columns in the grid. |
| GridRows | Number of basic (unmerged) rows in the grid. |
| Opacity | Opacity of the layer (from 0 for completely transparent to 1 for completely opaque). |

| PositionTop | Vertical offset from the top of the layer. |
| Visible | Boolean indicating whether or not the layer will be visible. |

Remarks
A grid layer mimics the cell naming and layout logic of a spreadsheet such as found in Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc.
Grid layers can also be used as a hidden computational layer, by setting the Visible property to False.
Cells in a grid layer have the following properties:
Formula
The Formula property specifies the cell value, or dynamic formula when starting with an '=' (equal sign).
If the cell contains a component, this property does not exist.
Hyperlink
The Hyperlink property allows specifying an optional hyperlink for the formula, if the cell contains a component this property will be ignored in most cases.
The special value 'none:' can be used to disable the hyperlink from Qubes 7.5 up).
Starting from Qubes 9.0 it is possible to pass a list, in which case the items are
- Hyperlink URL reference
- Target, if empty, interpreted as "_blank". If you want a self reference use "_self", see MDN for target attribute for further details.
- Link type ("rel"), empty by default. Can be used to specify multiple link types, by separating with a space.
Name
Name property can be used to specify an alternative name for a cell (or a range)
