CellFrameLabels
Details

- CellFrameLabels->{{left,right},{bottom,top}} specifies the labels to the left, right, bottom, and top of the cell frame, respectively. If None is given for a value, then no label will be shown.
- Cell frame labels can be specified as strings or raw cell expressions.
- CellFrameLabels->None is equivalent to giving a value of {{None,None},{None,None}}.
- A cell frame label will display even if there is no cell frame. If the cell has no frame but a specified background color, the labels will appear outside of the cell's background rectangle.
- The margin between the label and the cell's frame or background color is determined by CellFrameLabelMargins.
- Cell frame labels are displayed using a style inherited from their parent cell.

Properties & Relations (1)Properties of the function, and connections to other functions
Cell frame labels display within cell margins:

A bigger cell label forces the cell contents into a smaller area:

Similarly, a larger CellFrameLabelMargins compresses the cell contents area:
