            <property>&lt;rich:layout&gt;</property>
         </emphasis> allows to build a grid that can be used to make the layout on a page. The <emphasis role="bold">

         </emphasis> is used in conjunction with the <emphasis role="bold">
            <property>&lt;rich:layoutPanel&gt;</property>
         </emphasis> that is used as a child element and carries the main burden of building the grid.</para>

         </emphasis> as a container and <emphasis role="bold">
            <property>&lt;rich:layoutPanel&gt;</property>
         </emphasis> to create areas inside the container.</para> This is how you can  make a layout with 5 areas:
