LabeledGraphicsBox
✖
LabeledGraphicsBox
is a low-level construct that represents a graphics box with a label attached to it.
Details and Options
- LabeledGraphicsBox is one possible low-level representation of Labeled. Except for low-level notebook expression manipulation, LabeledGraphicsBox should not need to be used directly.
- box must be a GraphicsBox, Graphics3DBox or a LabeledGraphicsBox.
- Selecting a LabeledGraphicsBox will result in a graphics-style selection with resize handles that can be used to resize the whole construct.
- Resizing a LabeledGraphicsBox will automatically resize box to use the full available space, minus the space required to draw labels.
- Possible forms for the posi are:
-
side centered on the specified side {side,align} on the specified side with the specified alignment - Possible forms for side include Bottom, Left, Top, Right.
- Possible forms for align include Center, Left, Right, Bottom, Top.
- The effective default for pos is normally Bottom.
- The following options can be given:
-
BaselinePosition Automatic the position of the base line for the box BaseStyle "LabeledGraphics" base style specifications for the whole box DefaultLabelStyle "LabeledGraphicsLabel" base style specifications for the whole box ImageMargins 0 margins to add outside the display area ImageSize Automatic the overall image size of the box LabelStyle Automatic style specification for the lbli Spacings Automatic horizontal and vertical label spacings - ImageSizeAutomatic will cause LabeledGraphicsBox to display box at its specified size and add additional space as needed to fit the lbli. Other values will set the absolute size of the entire construct and resize box automatically to fit in the available space.
- LabeledGraphicsBox is used in the typesetting of some Labeled constructs.

BaselinePosition (1)

ContentSelectable (1)
ImageMargins (1)
ImageSize (1)
The image size by default is the size of the inner graphic plus the space for the labels:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-4v1se8
Giving explicit values to ImageSize resizes the inner graphic to fill the available space:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-c948e0
ImageSize resizes the inner graphic even if it has an explicitly larger size:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-x91fa8
RotateLabel (4)
Specify that the label should be rotated:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-l6qjmg
Rotate the label to a particular angle in degrees:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-m548lm
Rotate the label to a particular angle using radians:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-sryzwv
Specify custom rotations for the different labels:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-cegxq7
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-46ctax
Spacings (4)
Add horizontal spacing between the expression and the label:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-s80eep
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-ij9942
Use both vertical and horizontal spacing:
https://wolfram.com/xid/0bnis7gsrrc9y-jw2rf
Dynamically update the rotation of the labels:
