You could probably define your own layout to do just that but you need to edit the mod's lua code for that.
Hint : check wiki for layout advanced options and edit GridLayoutLayout.lua.
If this seems too complicated for you then you shouldn't do it.

It would be great if the 'center text' indicators could be positioned differently 'topleft, top, topright' and so on - or have I missed this option somewhere? :)

Yeah, that's what I've been messing with, but I can't seem to figure out the right combination to get a straight, vertical line. :P

EDIT: Finally got it, I think. Here's the code for anyone else that wants to use it:

GridLayout:AddLayout(L["VerticalRaidFrames"], {
  [1] = {
    groupBy = "GROUP",
    groupingOrder = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
    unitsPerColumn = 40,
    maxColumns = 1,
    columnAnchorPoint = "TOP",
    columnSpacing = 2,
  },
})

I'm having a problem with black space showing up on some grid frames even when the unit is at full health. Does anyone know which module might be causing this?

In this screenshot, it's most noticeable on the rogue in the second row, second from the left and the warrior on the bottom row, center.

there was a problem with old versions of Grid not registering the event for 'full health', so if someone was healed to full grid just didn't notice. this was fixed quite a while ago, so updating your version should probably solve the issue.

I have all the latest versions of all the modules and libraries from the WowAce SVN. I check for updates before starting WoW every day.

then it might be a module that's causing troubles...

It sounds like you have a status assigned to the health bar with a higher priority than unit health.

Each indicator can only show one status at a time. If you go into the advanced frame options, you can enable 'health bar color' as an additional indicator so that you can show aggro (or any other status with a color) without affecting the health bar value.

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses! That must've been it. I had Offline/Dead/Out of Range assigned to health bar as well as the health bar color by accident.

These unit frames have made my healing so much more efficient.

Can any1 tell me why does my grid look like this: http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gridxq4.jpg when I go to arena/bg,the unused space is pretty annoying.

It's because you use the layout "40 - by group", you can change layout whenever you're in a BG...

but well there is no such thing as "by group 5",so there is always unused space?,+it didn't look like that before.

I use show when grouped, Hide party in raid. I don't see the empty space except for unfilled groups.

But then I haven't done any battle grounds.

GridAutoFrameSize might help you out.

:/ didn't help,unless there is some kind of menu in that addon

Is there a way to setup the layout so that it does not alphabetize the groups? I did some searches in the forums and did not come up with anything...

Locing grid after finaly getting through the pain iof setting it up but there's 1 thing that keeps bothering me.

I use grid in arenazs too but there doesn't seem to be a layout option for sort by 5. I use my grid with horizontal orientation which when 5 or less people are in the group/raid (as in always in arena) always gives me an unused section below the one group that is actualy there.

Is there a way to get this done? To not see space for 2 groups when there's only 1?

Add a new layout "5 man" in GridLayoutLayout.lua ?
If you're unwilling to tinker with the lua code you could try GridAutoFrameSize, it seems to do what you're asking.

That worked.. pretty easy. Thanks

Only problem now is I need to go edit that lua file everytime I update grid right? Is there a reason there's no 5 man raid option? Seems alot more used then the 20 man raid option that is in grid.
Here a carefull.. Why not add the 5 man version to the 'base' grid? :)
