Details and Options

  • Style can be used in both ordinary expressions and graphics.
  • Style [expr,spec1,spec2,…] allows the speci to be any list or sequence of the following:
  • opt1->val1,… explicit options
    "style" a named style from the current stylesheets
    color directive color (Red , RGBColor […], …)
    graphics directive (Thickness […], …)
    Bold text bold (FontWeight->"Bold")
    Italic text italic (FontSlant->"Italic")
    Underlined text underlined
    Larger text larger
    Smaller text smaller
    n (any number) text with font size n (FontSize->n)
    Tiny , Small , etc. text with absolute size
  • Style can use any option listed in the Option Inspector in the notebook front end.
  • Style can use any graphics directive or list of graphics directives.
  • In Style [expr,spec1,spec2,…], explicit settings given in the speci always override settings defined by named styles in the speci, regardless of the order in which they occur.
  • For explicit settings, the first occurrence of a setting for a given option will be the one used.
  • Directives such as Red or Bold are treated as equivalent to their corresponding option settings.
  • A few common explicit options include:
  • Background background color
    Editable whether the contents are editable
    FontFamily font family
    Hyphenation whether to hyphenate in text
    Magnification magnification
    Selectable whether the contents are selectable
  • A few common named styles include:
  • "Button" display like text in a system button
    "Graphics" display like graphics
    "Input" display like Wolfram Language input
    "Label" display as a sans serif label
    "Menu" display like a system menu item
    "Output" display like Wolfram Language output
    "Panel" display like text in a system panel
    "PopupMenu" display like a system popup menu
    "Section" display as a section heading
    "SmallText" display like small text
    "Subsection" display as a subsection heading
    "Text" display like ordinary text
    "Title" display like a title
  • When Style objects are nested, the specifications of the innermost one control the display of a particular expression.
