Framed

displays a framed version of expr.

Details and Options

The following options can be given:

Background	None	background color
BaselinePosition	Automatic	alignment relative to surrounding text
BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications for the frame
ContentPadding	True	whether to shrink the margins tightly around the contents
FrameMargins	Automatic	margins to leave inside the frame
FrameStyle	Automatic	graphics directives giving a style for the frame
ImageMargins	0	margins around the image of the displayed frame
ImageSize	Automatic	the overall image size of the displayed frame
RoundingRadius	0	radius for rounded corners

If expr wraps onto multiple lines, the baseline of Framed[expr] is taken to be the baseline of the first line of expr.
The option setting FrameStyle->None draws no explicit frame.
RoundingRadius->r specifies rounded corners consisting of quarter circles with a radius of r printer's points.
Frame thickness can be specified using settings such as FrameStyle->Thick.

Basic Examples (1)

Put a frame around any expression:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[1 / x + y]

Scope (7)

Put a frame around any object:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Graphics3D[Sphere[], ImageSize -> Tiny]]

Wolfram Language code: Framed[TabView[{a, b, c}]]

Use a background color:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[1 / x + y + z, Background -> Pink]

Use a style for the frame:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[1 / x + y + z, FrameStyle -> Red]

Use rounded corners:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[1 / x + y + z, RoundingRadius -> 10]

Text can linewrap inside a frame:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[100!]

Put a frame around every item in a list:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[i!], {i, 10}]

Different framed expressions align as if their frames were not present:

Wolfram Language code: {Framed[1 / x], Framed[x], Framed[x ^ 2]}

Options (11)

Alignment (1)

Right-align a frame's contents:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[x + y, ImageSize -> 200, Alignment -> Right]

Background (1)

Change the background color:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[x + y, Background -> c], {c, {StandardRed, StandardGreen, StandardYellow}}]

BaselinePosition (1)

Bottom align a series of frames:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[Style[x + y, n], BaselinePosition -> (Bottom -> Bottom)], {n, {12, 24, 36}}]

BaseStyle (1)

Set the base style for the frame and its contents to a different font size and color:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[x + y, BaseStyle -> {Red, 24}]

ContentPadding (1)

Remove extra whitespace around a label with no ascenders or descenders:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[xxx, FrameMargins -> 0, ContentPadding -> False]

FrameMargins (1)

Add margins within the frame:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[x + y, FrameMargins -> m], {m, {0, 5, 10, 25}}]

FrameStyle (2)

Change the frame style:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[x + y, FrameStyle -> Red]

Framed does not support the side specifications of FrameStyle:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[x + y, FrameStyle -> {Red, Blue, Green, Brown}]

ImageMargins (1)

Add margins outside the frame:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[x + y, ImageMargins -> m], {m, {0, 5, 10, 25}}]

ImageSize (1)

Set the frame to a fixed image size:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[x ^ 2 + 2x y + y ^ 2, ImageSize -> {160, 80}]

RoundingRadius (1)

Use rounded corners:

Wolfram Language code: Table[Framed[x + y, RoundingRadius -> m], {m, {0, 5, 10, 25}}]

Applications (1)

Frame integers that are prime:

Wolfram Language code: Table[If[PrimeQ[n], Framed[n], n], {n, 20}]

Properties & Relations (2)

Panel provides additional features for framing objects:

Wolfram Language code: {Panel[1 / x + y], Framed[1 / x + y]}

Many functions have a Frame option:

Wolfram Language code: {Grid[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, Frame -> True], Framed[Grid[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}]]}

Wolfram Language code: {Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2}, Frame -> True], Framed[Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2}]]}

Possible Issues (1)

A large rounding radius may lead to contents bleeding past the corners:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Graphics[{StandardBlue, Rectangle[]}, ImageSize -> 80], RoundingRadius -> 35]

Increase the frame margins to resolve the issue:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Graphics[{StandardBlue, Rectangle[]}, ImageSize -> 80], RoundingRadius -> 35, FrameMargins -> 10]

Alternatively, reducing the rounding radius:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Graphics[{StandardBlue, Rectangle[]}, ImageSize -> 80], RoundingRadius -> 10]

Neat Examples (1)

Create nested frames:

Wolfram Language code: NestList[Framed, x, 6]
