RowLayout lays out widgets in rows, but is more flexible than FillLayout. The type field controls whether the widgets will be placed in horizontal rows or vertical columns.
It can optionally wrap the widgets, creating as many rows or columns as are needed to display them. It also provides configurable margins on each edge of the layout, and configurable spacing between widgets within the layout. You can pack a RowLayout, which will force all widgets to be the same size. If you justify a RowLayout, extra space remaining in the Composite will be allocated as margins between the widgets.
The height and width of each widget in a RowLayout can be specified in a RowData object which should be set in the widget using setLayoutData(Object).
