-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad.Layout.Grid
--
-- Then edit your @layoutHook@ by adding the Grid layout:
--
-- > myLayouts = Grid ||| Full ||| etc..
-- > main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts }
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
