GridBox

  • GridBox[ , , ... , , , ... , ... ] represents a two-dimensional grid of boxes or strings in input and output.
  • In a notebook, columns of a GridBox can be added using , and rows using (Control-Return).
  • , or a menu item can be used to start building a GridBox.
  • You can use tab to move from one entry in a GridBox to the next. moves out of the whole GridBox.
  • In StandardForm and InputForm, GridBox[ list ] is interpreted as list.
  • You can place parentheses around a GridBox to make it look more like a matrix, but these are by default ignored when the GridBox is interpreted.
  • The following options can be given:
  • GridBox is a low-level construct that works only for two-dimensional arrays; TableForm and MatrixForm are higher-level constructs that can also be used for higher-dimensional arrays.
  • In StandardForm, explicit GridBox objects are output literally. You can use DisplayForm to see the display form of such objects.
  • See the Mathematica book: Section 2.8.10.
  • See also: TableForm, MatrixForm, RowBox, OverscriptBox, UnderscriptBox, AdjustmentBox.
