Customize with frames a `Manipulate display area with several rows?

Hi to all The following code is a starting point of a more elaborate `Manipulate` notebook with other contents. Three components manipulated upon, one in a horizontal row and the last two in the second row. However I could not find a way to get two frames frames in the second row. Manipulate[ GraphicsColumn[{Text[ Style[ StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], GraphicsRow[{{Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}]}, {Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}]}}] }, Frame -> All, AspectRatio -> 0.7], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}] My questions: How can I get here a frame around every component in the second row? Is it possible to adjust the height of individual rows and in each row the width of individual frames? Is `AspectRatio` the only option controlling the width of the display area? Thanks

Hello Neil Thanks for your answers, the last one being exactly what I wanted. I found out that I could adjust the size of frames in the second row by using `ImageSize` with `Grid` Manipulate[ Grid[{{Text[ Style[StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], SpanFromLeft}, {Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}, ImageSize -> 100], Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}, ImageSize -> 300]}}, Frame -> All], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}]

Hello Neil

 Manipulate[
  Grid[{{Text[
      Style[StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, 
       FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], 
     SpanFromLeft}, {Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, 
      PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}, ImageSize -> 100], 
     Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}, ImageSize -> 300]}}, 
   Frame -> All], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}]

Here is the same thing with GraphicsGrid. I think this does what you want. Manipulate[ GraphicsGrid[{{Text[ Style[StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], SpanFromLeft}, {Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}], {Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}]}}}, Frame -> All, AspectRatio -> 0.7], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}]

You can add Dividers->Center Manipulate[ GraphicsColumn[{Text[ Style[StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], GraphicsRow[{Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}], {Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}]}}, AspectRatio -> Full, Dividers -> Center]}, Frame -> All, AspectRatio -> 0.7], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}] to get If you want the divider to not have gaps you must use GraphicsGrid and make your text span two columns.

Hello Thanks for your answer but this is not the layout I want. To make myself understand in other words, I would like to see the second row as two frames only (two contiguous rectangles only) as this looks much nicer. You embedded within the frame of the second row two more frames and you have now 3 frames in that row.. Is it possible to avoid that? Regards Regards

To many {}{}! Try: Manipulate[ GraphicsColumn[{Text[ Style[StringForm["To be `` not to be", tt], Red, Bold, 40, FontFamily -> "Bodoni"]], GraphicsRow[{Graphics[{Blue, Disk[{0, 0}, r]}, PlotRange -> {{-2, 2}, {-2, 2}}], Plot[f[x], {x, 0, Pi}]}, AspectRatio -> Full, Frame -> All]}, Frame -> All, AspectRatio -> 0.7], {f, {Sin, Cos}}, {r, 1, 2}, {tt, {"or", "and"}}] And check the documentation. Everything is in there!
