CellBracketOptions

✖

is an option for cells that specifies settings for cell brackets.

Details

  • The typical usage is CellBracketOptions->{opt1->val1,opt2->val2,…}.
  • The following suboptions may be specified:
  • "Color"RGBColor[.54, .55, .79]color of the brackets for a cell
    "HoverColor"RGBColor[.54, .55, .79]color of a cell bracket when the mouse is hovering over it
    "Margins"{0, 2}width of margins around the brackets for a cell
    "OverlapContent"Automaticwhether cell contents are allowed to overlap the cell bracket
    "Thickness"1thickness of the brackets for a cell
    "Widths"{0, 7}width of the brackets for a cell
  • "Thickness" is specified in terms of printer’s points, where 72 points equal one inch. The default setting is "Thickness"->1.
  • The color is specified using the color dialog box that appears when the square symbol next to the option is clicked. It can be specified using RGBColor, GrayLevel, Hue, and CMYKColor.
  • "Margins"->{left,right} determines the size of the margins to the left and right of the cell bracket, respectively. The values are given in printer's points, where 72 points equal one inch.
  • "Widths"->{left,right} determines the width of the brackets for a cell. The values are given in printer's points, where 72 points equal one inch.
  • "OverlapContent" determines whether the content of a cell is allowed to overlap the designated area for the cell bracket.
  • "OverlapContent"->True will leave area for the cell bracket even if drawing the cell bracket is disabled using ShowCellBracket->False. Automatic is equivalent to False if ShowCellBracket->False, and True otherwise.
