## Widget Positioning & Spacing
Appsmith uses a **grid-based layout system** for widget positioning.
### Grid Basics
| Property | Description | Default |
|----------|-------------|---------|
| `topRow` | Starting row position (0-based) | - |
| `bottomRow` | Ending row position | - |
| `leftColumn` | Starting column (0-based) | - |
| `rightColumn` | Ending column | - |
| `parentRowSpace` | Pixels per row | 10px |
| `parentColumnSpace` | Pixels per column | ~25px |
The canvas is **64 columns wide**. Each row is **10 pixels tall**.
### Calculating Size
```
Height = (bottomRow - topRow) × 10px
Width = (rightColumn - leftColumn) × 25px
```
### Visual Example
```
Row 0 ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Navigation (topRow: 0) │
Row 7 └────────────────────────────────────────┘ ← bottomRow: 7
Row 8 ┌────────────────────────────────────────┐ ← topRow: 8 (1 row gap = 10px)
│ Content Widget │
Row 16 └────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### This Project's Standard
| Widget | topRow | bottomRow | Notes |
|--------|--------|-----------|-------|
| Navigation | 0 | 7 | 70px tall |
| First Content | 8 | 16 | 10px gap below nav |
### Dynamic Height
Widgets with `"dynamicHeight": "AUTO_HEIGHT"` adjust height based on content. The `bottomRow` serves as an initial guide, and `originalTopRow`/`originalBottomRow` store the original placement values.
