GridBox

Usage

• GridBox[{{, , ... }, {, , ... }, ... }] represents a two-dimensional grid of boxes or strings in input and output.

Notes

• 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:

ColumnAlignments	Center	how to align columns
ColumnLines	False	whether to draw lines between columns
ColumnsEqual	False	whether to make all columns equal width
ColumnSpacings	0.8	spacings between columns in ems
ColumnWidths	Automatic	actual widths of columns in ems
GridBaseline	Axis	the position of the baseline for the whole grid
GridDefaultElement	"\[Placeholder]"	what to insert when a new entry is created
RowAlignments	Baseline	how to align rows
RowLines	False	whether to draw lines between rows
RowMinHeight	1.0	the minimum total row height in x-heights
RowsEqual	False	whether to make all rows equal total height
RowSpacings	1.0	spacings between rows in x-heights

• 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 Section 2.9.10.
