Pane

Pane[expr]
displays as a pane containing expr.

makes the pane be w printer's points wide, linewrapping the contents if necessary.

makes the pane be w points wide and h points high, shrinking the contents if necessary.

MORE INFORMATION

The following options can be given:

	Alignment	{Automatic,Automatic}	how to align objects in the display area
	AppearanceElements	Automatic	elements to include in the displayed pane
	BaselinePosition	Automatic	what to align with a surrounding text baseline
	BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications for the pane
	ContentPadding	True	whether to shrink the margins tightly around the contents
	ImageMargins	0	margins to add outside the display area
	ImageSize	Automatic	the overall image size of the displayed pane
	ImageSizeAction	Automatic	what to do if the content size does not match the image size
	Scrollbars	False	whether to include scrollbars
	ScrollPosition	{0,0}	scroll position if scrolling is enabled

With a typical default stylesheet, Pane[expr] with no additional options displays exactly like expr.

Pane is equivalent to Pane[expr, ImageSize->w, ImageSizeAction->"Clip"].

Pane is by default equivalent to Pane[expr, ImageSize->{w, h}, ImageSizeAction->"ResizeToFit"].

Pane[expr, {w, h}, Scrollbars->Automatic] effectively uses ImageSizeAction.

The setting ImageSizeAction makes the contents of the pane scrollable if necessary.

Possible elements in AppearanceElements include .

The settings for BaseStyle are appended to the default style typically given by the style in the current stylesheet.

Specify both vertical and horizontal alignment:

Specify resizable Pane by using AppearanceElements

:

Create resizable graphics using ImageSize->Full:

By default, Pane is resizable if Scrollbars->True:

Use AppearanceElements->None to disable resizing:

Align with surrounding text:

Add margins evenly around the pane:

Specify different margins on each side:

ImageSize and the second argument have the same effect:

Specify the overall size of the pane:

The default for ImageSizeAction is
