The answer complicated :
By me Grid[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}] appears always with a frame. I use Mathematica
7,
but so far remember, Grid[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}}] appears effectively always
without a frame
on Mathematica 6. I guess you have mathematica 6.
Anyway, Grid[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}},Frame -> False] doesn't work by me and It's
the same problem.
It is probably due to interactions between the option "Frame" and the option
"Dividers" (May be it is
written in the documention. I don't have time to verify). What I am sure is
that with only the option
"Dividers" you can do what you want.
Concerning SetOptions[Grid, Frame -> All], it doesn't work and it's not a
bug. If
you want to change the default behaviour of Grid, for example to remove the
Frame
in the whole notebook, you have to edit the Stylesheet of the notebook.
To edit the stylesheet of your notebook, do the following :
- select the windows of your notebook
- in the Top bar -> Format
- Edit Style Sheet
- type Grid in the "Enter a style name" field
A new cell appears, whose name is "Local definition for style Grid".
-Select this cell
-type control-shith-O
-A new windows appears, with the name "Options for ..."
-type Dividers in the "lookup" field, then type return
While you type Dividers, the right part of the windows change. At the
end, you see a list of options beginning with GridBox.
-Look for the option GridBoxDividers, and change the both "False" to "True"
-Then press the button Apply.
The new options are immediately applied to your notebook.
You can now play with Dividers as you want, and do for example a Frame
(For this, I think you have to do {"Columns -> {True,{False},True},"Rows" ->
{True,{False},True}}}
See the documentation).
Below the option GridBoxDividers, there is the option GridBox -> Frame. You
can play with it, but
I don't know how it interacts with GridBoxDividers.
