The command/modes on which most of the GRIDPLUS screen layout is based are the grid and layout. These two are documented on the same page as they are usually used together. Normally the grid command is not used directly, the GRIDPLUS widget grid is used instead - This uses the grid command to arrange the widgets. The examples on the grid/layout page use widgets created using normal Tk/ttk commands. This has been done to make clear what functionality is actually a part of the GRIDPLUS package.
The button, checkbutton, date, dropdown, entry, menubutton, link, radiobutton and spinbox command/modes are actually aliases to the widget command with the default widget type set appropriately.
The widget command also supports a simple/flexible syntax to create additional wigdet grids embedded into cells of the parent grid.
Some people may find the define command useful for larger projects. This is more for a different coding style rather than additional functionality.
It is also a good idea to checkout the Examples. The first four examples are simply to illustrate some the the window widget/layout options. The last three are working applications which are to illustrate how applications can work in a GRIDPLUS environment.
The Reference page has links to pages describing each of the GRIDPLUS command/modes. All of these pages have additional examples of the command/mode usage. At the top of the Reference page are links to some of the other GRIDPLUS facilities.
The Manpage as detailed descriptions of all GRIDPLUS command options, widget options and grid/layout options.
