GraphicsColumn

GraphicsColumn[{g₁, g₂, ...}]
generates a graphic in which the g_i are laid out in a column, with g₁ above g₂, etc.

GraphicsColumn[list, alignment]
aligns each element horizontally in the specified way.

GraphicsColumn[list, alignment, spacing]
leaves the specified spacing between successive elements.

The output from GraphicsColumn can be interactively resized, or edited as a graphic.

	Center	centered
	Left	left justified (default)
	Right	right justified
	Full	stretched if possible to full width
	Automatic	alignment points of successive items aligned

GraphicsColumn will by default make all items the same height, preserving individual aspect ratios for graphics, and leaving space if necessary.

	h	an absolute number of printer's points
	Scaled[s]	a fraction s of the height of an item

Alignment	{Center,Center}	horizontal and vertical alignment of elements
AspectRatio	Automatic	ratio of height to width for the whole column
Background	None	what background colors to use
BaselinePosition	Automatic	what to align with a surrounding text baseline
BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications for the column
Dividers	None	where to draw divider lines in the column
Frame	None	where to draw frames in the column
FrameStyle	Automatic	style to use for frames
ImageSize	Automatic	overall size of the whole graphics column
Spacings	Scaled[0.1]	horizontal and vertical spacings

	None	no frame
	True	frame around the whole column
	All	frame around every item in the column

GraphicsColumn[list, alignment] is equivalent to Column[list, Alignment->alignment].

GraphicsColumn[list, alignment, spacing] corresponds to the setting Spacings->spacing.

Settings for the options Alignment, Background and Frame can be given as follows to apply separately to successive items in the column:

	{s₁,s₂,...,s_n}	use s₁ through s_n, then use defaults
	{{c}}	use c in all cases
	{{c₁,c₂}}	alternate between c₁ and c₂
	{{c₁,c₂,...}}	cycle through all c_i
	{s,{c}}	use s, then repeatedly use c
	{s₁,{c},s_n}	use s₁, then repeatedly use c, but use s_n at the end
	{s₁,s₂,...,{c₁,c₂,...},s_m,...,s_n}
		use the first sequence of s_i at the beginning, then cyclically use the c_i, then use the last sequence of s_i at the end
	{s₁,s₂,...,{},s_m,...,s_n}	use the first sequence of s_i at the beginning and the last sequence at the end
	{i₁->v₁,i₂->v₂,...}	specify what to use at positions i_k
	{spec,rules}	use rules to override specifications in spec

With settings of the form {s₁, s₂, ..., {...}, s_m, ..., s_n}, if there are more s_i specified than items in the column, s_i from the beginning are used for the first items, and ones from the end are used for the last items.

Settings such as Alignment, Background and Frame can effectively be specified for individual items in the column using Item.

For a column of n elements, Dividers and Spacings can specify settings for the n+1 gaps between elements, starting before the first element, and ending after the last element.

	spec	apply spec to all gaps between items
	{spec_x,spec_y}	apply spec_i to successive horizontal and vertical gaps

The spec_i can have the same forms as for Alignment, Background and other item-oriented options.

	Axis	axis of the middle row in the column (default)
	Baseline	baseline of the middle row in the column
	Bottom	bottom of the whole column
	Center	halfway from top to bottom
	Top	top of the whole column
	{i,pos}	position pos in element i
