This layout creates a repeating set of named areas that display content that is organized into One Column, Two Column, or Three Column structure. This organization makes it easy to create panels that display Guide objects in varying sequences.
The panel is structured into the following named areas:
- One Column
- Two Column
- Three Column
- One Column
- Two Column
- Three Column
- One Column
- Two Column
- Three Column
- One Column
- Two Column
- Three Column
Each area creates a layout similar to the corresponding panel layout. For example, the One Column areas organize objects from the Guide Tree view in the Guide Design perspective within Workbench in the order in which they appear in the Guide Tree view, from top to bottom. Similarly, in the Two Column areas, objects are placed in each of two columns in an alternating pattern.

Styles are either common or associated with a specific theme. If the style is common, it can be used with any theme. If a style is associated with a specific theme, it can only be used if your application uses that theme.
