<SfDashboardLayout CellSpacing="@(new double[]{20 ,20 })" Columns="4">
    <DashboardLayoutPanels>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel>
            <ContentTemplate><div>1</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel  Column=1>
            <ContentTemplate><div>2</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel Column=2>
            <ContentTemplate><div>3</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel Row=1>
            <ContentTemplate><div>4</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel Row=1 Column=1>
            <ContentTemplate><div>5</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel Row=1 Column=2>
            <ContentTemplate><div>6</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
    </DashboardLayoutPanels>
</SfDashboardLayout>

<style>
    .e-panel-content {
        text-align: center;
        margin-top: 10px;
    }
</style>

The following screenshot shows the positioning of panels within the dashboard layout using the row and column properties of the panels.

Sizing of panels

A panel’s size can be varied easily by defining the SizeX and SizeY properties.

• SizeX property defines the width of a panel in cells count.
• SizeY property defines the height of a panel in cells count.

These properties are helpful in designing a dashboard, where the content of each panel may vary in size.

<SfDashboardLayout CellSpacing="@(new double[]{10 ,10 })" Columns="5">
    <DashboardLayoutPanels>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel>

        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
        <DashboardLayoutPanel SizeX=2 Column=1>
            <ContentTemplate><div>1</div></ContentTemplate>
        </DashboardLayoutPanel>
