Global Options
GridDefaultElement
• GridDefaultElement is an option for cells that determines what element is placed in every unit of a grid box by default.
• When a new table, matrix, or palette is created, the element specified by GridDefaultElement is automatically placed in each row and column. This element can be a character, a string, or even a typeset expression, such as \!\(a\/b\) or FractionBox["a", "b"].
• The default setting is GridDefaultElement 
Placeholder.
GridBaseline
• GridBaseline is an option for cells that determines the vertical positioning of a grid box with respect to the baseline of the text surrounding it.
• With the default setting GridBaseline Top, the top of a grid box is aligned with the baseline of the surrounding text. For example,
"
"
• With the setting GridBaseline Bottom, the bottom of the grid box is level with the baseline of the surrounding text. For example,
"
"
• With the setting GridBaseline Center, the center of the grid box is level with the baseline of the surrounding text. For example, "
"
• Another possible setting is GridBaseline {name, {i, j}}, where name refers to the {i, j}th element instead of the entire grid box. For example, GridBaseline {Top, {2, 1}} means that the top of the element in the second row and first column of the grid box is aligned with the baseline of the surrounding text, as shown here.
"
"
• The default setting is GridBaseline Axis.
AutoDelete
• AutoDelete is an option for cells that determines if a grid box is automatically deleted when all but one of its elements is removed.
• AutoDelete controls what happens if you create a grid box and then remove all of its elements except one. With the setting AutoDelete True, the grid box surrounding the element disappears.
• With the setting AutoDelete False, the single element continues to be enclosed in a grid box.
AllowScriptLevelChange
• AllowScriptLevelChange is an option for cells that determines if entries in a grid box can have a ScriptLevel of 0.
• With the default setting AllowScriptLevelChange True, all entries in a grid box have a minimum ScriptLevel of 1. The main effect this has is to make operators affected by LimitsPositioning, such as 
, 
, and 
, appear small, as shown below.
• With the setting AllowScriptLevelChange False, elements of a grid box can have a ScriptLevel of 0. This allows operators such as , , and , to appear larger, making for an improved visual effect, as shown below.
• See also: ScriptLevel, LimitsPositioning.
