SpanFromAbove

SpanFromAbove
is a symbol that can appear at a particular position in a Grid or related construct to indicate that the corresponding position is occupied by a spanning element that appears above it.

MORE INFORMATION

If SpanFromAbove appears at the same position in several successive rows, it indicates spanning across all these rows.

Basic Examples (3)

Make the element 2 span the row below it:

Make it span two rows:

Spanning in a GraphicsGrid:

Make the element 2 span the row below it:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Make it span two rows:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Spanning in a GraphicsGrid:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Scope (2)

Spanned elements inherit their styles:

Graphics will default to filling the available space:

An explicit ImageSize setting will prevent this behavior:

Possible Issues (2)

Spanning regions must be rectangular in shape:

Use SpanFromBoth when spanning across both columns and rows:
