Basic Examples  (2)

Leave 20 printer's points between two letters:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Row[{x, Spacer[20], y}]]

Display a blank space 70 points wide and 50 points high:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Spacer[{70, 50}]]

Place a spacer 20 points wide and 15 points high in a grid cell:

Wolfram Language code: Grid[{{Spacer[{20, 15}], b}, {c, d}}, Frame -> All]

Scope  (1)

Make the spacer extend 30 points below the baseline:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Row[{x, Spacer[{20, 10, 30}], y}]]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Use Invisible to display a blank space the same size as a given expression:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Invisible[Integrate[f[x], {x, -π / 2, π / 2}]]]

Here is the expression in visible form:

Wolfram Language code: Framed[Integrate[f[x], {x, -π / 2, π / 2}]]

Neat Examples  (1)

Linearly varying spacers:

Wolfram Language code: Column[Table[Row[{Framed[x], Spacer[10i], Framed[x], Spacer[10(10 - i)], Framed[x], Spacer[10i], Framed[x], Spacer[10(10 - i)], Framed[x]}], {i, 0, 10}]]

Quadratically varying spacers:

Wolfram Language code: Column[Table[Row[{Framed[x], Spacer[i ^ 2], Framed[x], Spacer[(10 - i) ^ 2], Framed[x], Spacer[i ^ 2], Framed[x], Spacer[(10 - i) ^ 2], Framed[x]}], {i, 0, 10}]]
