ColumnWidths

ColumnWidths
is an option for the low-level function GridBox which specifies the widths to use for columns.

	All	wide enough to fit without breaking lines
	Automatic	available width divided automatically among columns
	Scaled[s]	fraction s of the available width
	n	n ems in the current font
	{w₁,w₂,...}	width specification w_i for column i

With ColumnWidths->{w₁, w₂, ..., w_n}, the specification w_n is effectively taken to be repeated if there are more than n columns.

With ColumnWidths->Automatic, a particular column will never use more width than its widest element.
