Basic Examples  (3)

Align the axis of a graphic with the baseline of text:

Wolfram Language code: {x, Graphics[Circle[{0, 1}], Axes -> True, BaselinePosition -> Axis], y}

Align the center of the grid with the axis of text:

Wolfram Language code: {x, Grid[{{a, b}, {c, d}}, BaselinePosition -> (Center -> Axis), Frame -> All], Nest[x / (1 + #)&, x, 4]}

Fill to the axis:

Wolfram Language code: Plot[Sin[x ^ 2], {x, 0, 2Pi}, Filling -> Axis]

Scope  (2)

Fill to the axis:

Wolfram Language code: ListPlot[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, 10], Filling -> Axis]

Fill to the plane at :

Wolfram Language code: Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}, Filling -> Axis]
Wolfram Language code: ListPointPlot3D[RandomReal[{-1, 1}, {10, 10}], Filling -> Axis]
