When I write Row[ {Framed@Column[{1,2}], Framed@123}, Alignment->Top] or Row[ {Framed@Column[{1,2}], Framed@123}, Alignment->{Left,Top}] in either

  • 0

When I write

Row[ {Framed@Column[{1,2}], Framed@"123"},  Alignment->Top]

Mathematica graphics

or

Row[ {Framed@Column[{1,2}], Framed@"123"},  Alignment->{Left,Top}]

Mathematica graphics

in either case, nothing happens. Default alignment is Center, and elements are listed aligned to each other’s midline.

Grid[ {{Framed@Column[{1,2}], Framed@"123"}}, Alignment->Top]

Mathematica graphics

works just fine, but Grid[] is an overkill when a Row[] would suffice.

Help system says Alignment should work (lists {Left,Baseline} as example), but it doesn’t seem to be changeable. I’m using v8.0.4.

    The Alignment option in Row does not align the individual elements themselves, but rather these elements within an outer bounding box. This can be seen with:

    Framed@Row[{Framed@Column[{1, 2}], Framed@"123"}, 
  ImageSize -> {150, 150}, Alignment -> {Left, Top}]

    enter image description here

    Framed@Row[{Framed@Column[{1, 2}], Framed@"123"}, 
  ImageSize -> {150, 150}, Alignment -> {Center, Bottom}]

    enter image description here

    Use Grid instead.
