A QGridLayout is a layout manager. It has to be used in combination with 
a container widget to do actually anything. So you would use a panel 
(e.g. QFrame or QWidget) which uses a QGridLayout for it's layout 
manager and then you would add QImages to the panel with the appropriate 
layout constraints that would place them in the correct grid location.

If this grid of images is a logical self-contained component, then it 
might be better to use a QWidget which can then be embedded in some 
other container widget like QFrame or QDialog depending on where you 
need to use it.
