AdjustmentBox

AdjustmentBox[box, opts] displays with the placement of box adjusted using the options given.

In the notebook front end, AdjustmentBox objects can typically be inserted and modified using , , and . These keys move your current selection by one pixel at the current screen magnification.

The following options can be given:

Horizontal motion specifications are in ems; vertical ones in x-heights.

Motion specifications can be either positive or negative numbers.

Positive margin specifications increase the spacing around box; negative ones decrease it.

Moving the baseline affects for example vertical alignment in a RowBox.

Top and bottom margins affect for example placement in a FractionBox or an OverscriptBox.

In StandardForm and InputForm input, AdjustmentBox is by default ignored, so that AdjustmentBox[box, opts] is interpreted just as box would be.

Inserting an explicit spacing character such as \[ThinSpace] can have the same effect for display as AdjustmentBox, but the spacing character by default affects interpretation.

AdjustmentBox[box, opts] uses the options given only to adjust the position of box itself. Unlike StyleBox, it does not propagate the options to subboxes.
