is an option for Cell that specifies whether a frame should be drawn around a cell.

Details

  • The option is specified as the thickness of the frame in points. A value of 0 indicates no frame.
  • Possible settings are:
  • distthe specification of the frame on all sides
    {{left,right},{bottom,top}}different specifications for the frame on each side
  • The space left between the frame and the cell contents is determined by CellFrameMargins. The color of the frame is determined by CellFrameColor.
  • Dingbats go outside the frame.
  • None, False or 0 are equivalent values that prevent the frame from drawing. True is equivalent to a value of 0.5.
  • The frame can be modified interactively using the default toolbar available in Window ▶ Toolbar.
