virtual-grid-layout - A Virtual grid layout controller

This module provides a virtual grid layout controller for HTML/DOM.

Features:

• Support for very large grids with rows and columns of varying height and width.
• As measuring the individual row heights may be time-consuming, only the sizes of the visible cells need to be determined. The scroll position is based on row/column indexes instead of absolute pixel coordinates.
• Each layout controller instance manages only a single contiguous grid. Additional parallel synchronized grids may be used for e.g. header cells or row prefixes.
• Scrollbars are not included, because browser-generated scrollbars are not suitable to navigate large virtual grids. Instead the higher application layers should use scrollbar widgets.
• Sub-grids can be implemented through macro cells.
• The layout controller is style-agnostic. Styling must be done in the higher application layers.
• The Layout Controller's purpose is limited to controlling the virtual layout by rendering the visible grid cells. User interaction must also be done in the higher application layers.
• There are two additional modules that assist with user interaction: GridScroll for scrolling and GridResize for resizing row heights and column widths.
