Theming

The igTileManager is a layout control for rendering and managing data into tiles. The tiles are displayed in a responsive grid layout and the control provides corresponding layout configurations for each tile in terms to position (row and column spans) and dimensions (row and column position). The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igTileManager control.
