The <mat-grid-list>, an Angular Directive, is used to create a two dimensional view arranging cells into grid based layout.

In this chapter, we will showcase the configuration required to draw a grid list control using Angular Material.

Step	Description
1	Create a project with a name materialApp as explained in the Angular 6 - Project Setup chapter.
2	Modify app.module.ts, app.component.ts, app.component.css and app.component.html as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged.
