FrameBox[box]
is a low-level box construct that represents box with a frame drawn around it.
Details

- FrameBox is generated as the low-level representation of Framed. Except for low-level notebook expression manipulation, FrameBox should not need to be used directly.
- The following options can be given:
-
Background Automatic background color BaselinePosition Automatic alignment relative to surrounding text BaseStyle {} base style specifications for the frame ContentPadding True whether to shrink the margins tightly around the contents FrameMargins Automatic margins to leave inside the frame FrameStyle {} graphics directives giving a style for the frame ImageMargins 0. margins around the image of the displayed frame ImageSize Automatic the overall image size of the displayed frame RoundingRadius {0.,0.} radius for rounded corners - In StandardForm and InputForm, FrameBox is by default ignored, so that FrameBox[box] is interpreted just as box would be.
- In StandardForm, explicit FrameBox objects are output literally. You can use DisplayForm to see the display form of such objects.
