Mathematica 6.0.1
Windows XP
It took me an hour or two to meticulously construct a Grid of Panes
and Graphics, then a couple of days trying to control the layout.
Until, completely by chance, I stumbled on the observation that
Graphics, controlled with an ImageSize Option changes size with cell
Magnification (set by Format>Magnification, by Windows>Magnification,
or by the popup at the bottom right of a notebook window) while Pane,
controlled by its second parameter doesn't, although its contents do.
Here's a minimal code scrap to illustrate
Row[{
Framed@Graphics[Text["Hello, World!"],ImageSize->{100,100}]
,Framed@Pane["Hello,World!
Options = "<>ToString[Options[Magnification]],{100,100}]
}]
So a couple of questions arise. Starting with:
Is there a way to poll the output cell to find its Magnification
(Options[] evidently produces nothing) and adjust the size spec
accordingly?
Then, if I have ambitions to eventually deploy this to others, is this
a bug that might some day be fixed, breaking my fix?
TIA,
