AdjustmentBox

AdjustmentBox
is a low-level box construct which displays with the placement of box adjusted using the options given.
MORE INFORMATION
  • In the notebook front end, AdjustmentBox objects can typically be inserted and modified using Alt+, Alt+, Alt+, and Alt+ (Ctrl on Macintosh). These keys move your current selection by one pixel at the current screen magnification.
  • The following options can be given:
BoxMargins{{left,right},{bottom,top}}margins to leave around the contents of the box
BoxBaselineShiftuphow much the baseline should be shifted relative to those of neighboring boxes
  • Horizontal motion specifications are in ems; vertical ones are in -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.
  • 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 uses the options given only to adjust the position of box itself. Unlike StyleBox, it does not propagate the options to sub-boxes.
