TableSpacing

TableSpacing

is an option for TableForm and MatrixForm that specifies how many spaces should be left between each successive row or column.

Details

  • TableSpacing->{s1,s2,…} specifies that si spaces should be left in dimension i.
  • For columns, the spaces are rendered as space characters. For rows, the spaces are rendered as blank lines.
  • For TableForm, TableSpacing->Automatic yields spacings {1,3,0.5,1,0.5,1,…}.
