greetings!
I am trying to create a visual output similar to tex's amsmath cases, in which a giant single curly bracket opens a column of different cases to a function. So far I haven't found any way to duplicate this effect in mathematica. Here are some of the things I tried, in case it sparks your imagination:
StringForm["````", Style["{", 90], Column[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}]]
This style isn't very adaptive, and the bracket does not align with the column. So inspired by MatrixForm I tried this:
RowBox[{"cases:", "(", "",
Column[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}]}] // DisplayForm
perfect! but when I try a curly bracket...
RowBox[{"cases:", "{", "",
Column[{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}]}] // DisplayForm
it's just not changing size... Also it seems that I have to use RowBox because regular Row doesn't do this kind of streching.
Thanks in advance!
p.s. is there a way to render the code that I'm posting so that you see what I mean in each example?
