## Grid Layout
WTF uses the `Grid` layout system from [tview](https://github.com/rivo/tview/blob/master/grid.go) to position widgets
onscreen. It's not immediately obvious how this works, so here's an
explanation:
Think of your terminal screen as a matrix of letter positions, say `100` chrs wide and `58` chrs tall.
Columns breaks up the width of the screen into chunks, each chunk a specified number of characters wide. use
`[10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10]`
Ten columns that are ten characters wide
Rows break up the height of the screen into chunks, each chunk a specified number of characters tall. If we wanted to have five rows:
`[10, 10, 10, 10, 18]`
The co-ordinate system starts at top-left and defines how wide and tall a widget is. If we wanted to put a 2-col, 2-row widget in the bottom of the screen, we'd position it at:
```
top: 4 // top starts in the 4th row
left: 9 // left starts in the 9th column
height: 2 // span down rows 4 & 5 (18 characters in size, total)
width: 2 // span across cols 9 & 10 (20 characters in size, total)
```
