AllowedDimensions

is an option for Grid and related functions that specifies the allowed minimum and maximum dimensions of the Grid under interactive editing.

Details

  • Possible settings for AllowedDimensions are:
  • Automaticthe dimensions of the Grid are unconstrained
    {cols,rows}the dimensions of the Grid are constrained to exactly cols columns and rows rows
    {{colsmin,colsmax},{rowsmin,rowsmax}}between colsmin and colsmax columns are allowed, and between rowsmin and rowsmax rows are allowed

Basic Examples  (3)

Create a Grid that can have between 2 and 4 columns and between 3 and 5 rows:

Wolfram Language code: Grid[{{a, b}, {c, d}, {e, f}}, AllowedDimensions -> {{2, 4}, {3, 5}}]

Create a Grid that can have any number of rows, but only 2 columns:

Wolfram Language code: Grid[{{a, b}, {c, d}, {e, f}}, AllowedDimensions -> {2, Automatic}]

Create a Grid that must have a minimum of 3 rows:

Wolfram Language code: Grid[{{a, b}, {c, d}, {e, f}}, AllowedDimensions -> {Automatic, {3, Infinity}}]

Properties & Relations  (1)

The AllowedDimensions option only applies to interactive editing. It does not prevent Grid from producing output that does not comply with the specified dimensions:

Wolfram Language code: Grid[{{a}}, AllowedDimensions -> {3, 3}]
