grid system
Organized spatial structure
A grid system is a framework of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines used to organize content or space.
In graphic design and web development, grid systems create consistent layouts by dividing pages into columns and rows: The magazine uses a twelve-column grid system.
In urban planning, a grid system arranges streets at right angles, as in Manhattan.
Cartographers use grid systems to locate positions on maps.
