Does GraphicsColumn support non-default item-height? How?

Questions
1

3rd item in “Details and Options”:

GraphicsColumn will by default make all items the same height…

Is there a non-default alternative? How to make a GraphicsColumn with non-uniform item-height?

Joe,

Set the ImageSize separately for each graphic item in the column. See the example with the different size disks:

GraphicsColumn[Table[Graphics[Disk[], ImageSize -> 10 i], {i, 1, 5}],  Alignment -> Left, Frame -> All]

Thanks, but that is not the result I meant to describe. To see the result I want, evaluate this:

Column[Table[Graphics[Disk[], ImageSize -> 10 i], {i, 1, 5}], 
 Alignment -> Left, Frame -> All]

I am wondering whether GraphicsColumn can do that.

Joe,

While the default is equal spacing based on the largest item, use Spacings to customize your spacing:

GraphicsColumn[Table[Graphics[Disk[], ImageSize -> 10 i], {i, 1, 5}], 
 Alignment -> Left, Frame -> All, 
 Spacings -> {{0, 200}, {-40, 0, 0, 50, 0, 0}}]

This puts no extra room on the left, 200 points on the right. moves the first item up 40 and the space between the 3rd and 4th item has 50 points added to it. The Spacings options are extensive so you can review the docs for it.

Joe,

I just realized that did not directly answer your question. Here is the layout you wanted. I’m sure it can be done programmatically but this is a start:

GraphicsColumn[Table[Graphics[Disk[], ImageSize -> 10 i], {i, 1, 5}], 
 Alignment -> Left, Frame -> All, 
 Spacings -> {10, {-25, -25, -15, -5, 5 , 5}}]

Regards,

Neil

Thanks very much. I had missed the docs about “Spacings” until you drew my attention to them. It looks like that is what I needed.
