I tried to construct a small sheet with text and equations presented in a convenient publishing form, using Column
:
Column[{
Row[{"An integral:"}],
Row[{Integrate[f[x], x]}]
}] // TraditionalForm
But every time the integral sign appears in one of expressions inside the Column
, Mathematica reduces its size in the output. In this particular case the output looks like
Without the Column
(or Grid
, which seems to have the same effect) wrapper, the integral sign looks convenient:
Row[{Integrate[f[x], x]}] // TraditionalForm
I tried to add Pane
wrapper to the Column
contents, and played with ItemSize
option too, with no effect. Actually, I can't even figure out what exactly happens within the Column
(or Grid
) function that reduces the \[Integral]
size.
So, the question is: what causes the shrinking in Column
and Grid
, and is there a way to control it?
I was thinking of using GraphicsGrid
instead, but it seems look more like a hack than a proper solution — if it would help at all.
Notes:
- You can notice the same effect in a Standard Form too, it is just more clear in the Traditional output.
- I'm using Mathematica 8 on Windows 7 Basic.
