I think that they are described very well here:

  I'm having a problem with the alignment of the header and the cells in the grid.

  This is the code I'm using to create the grid:

$("#projects_requiring_feature_list").jqGrid({

                datatype: "local",

               /* height: 'auto',

                //autowidth: true,

                width: 649,

                shrinkToFit: true,*/

                shrinkToFit: false,

                autowidth: true,

                height: 'auto',                            

                colModel:[                    

                    {name:'project', sortable: false, label: 'Project', width: 150},

                    {name:'alpha', sortable: false, label: 'Alpha'},

                    {name:'beta', sortable: false, label: 'Beta'},

                    {name:'final_d', sortable: false, label: 'Final'},

                    {name:'ship', sortable: false, label: 'Ship'},

                    {name:'street', sortable: false, label: 'Street'}

                ],                

                caption: "Projects that require this feature"

            });

            mydata = [

                            {project:'Project 1', alpha: '12/22/1977', beta: '12/22/1977', final_d: '12/22/1977', ship: '12/22/1977', street: '12/22/1977' },

                            {project:'Project 2', alpha: '12/22/1977', beta: '12/22/1977', final_d: '12/22/1977', ship: '12/22/1977', street: '12/22/1977' },

                            {project:'Project 3', alpha: '12/22/1977', beta: '12/22/1977', final_d: '12/22/1977', ship: '12/22/1977', street: '12/22/1977' }

                     ];

            for(i=0;i<=mydata.length;i++)

                $("#projects_requiring_feature_list").addRowData(i+1,mydata[i]);

I don't fully understand how the autowidth and shrinkToFit options work... thanks!
