I can't find a way to format my output graphics/stuff in columns and
rows without giving the same width/height to all items. For example, I
have a thin graphic and a fat one and I want them one next to the
other.
In the documentation on GraphicsRow and GraphicsColumn says that's the
"default" behaviour, but I can't find a way to override it.
Row/Column seem to work, but Row is wrapping the fat graphic to the
next line if I zoom in, and that's now what I want.

Thanks for your help

I think you could use a Row, and then wrap the entire construction in a Pane
with a specified width to prevent row wrapping. For example:

Pane[Row[Table[Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 \[Pi]}, ImageSize -> 300], {3}]],
ImageSize -> {1000, 200}]

Hi,

I've also run into similar issues. I haven't found any good solution
yet - despite looking at all the options for GraphicsRow and at its
boxform.
As for the wrapping of Row, you can try using Grid instead. Or putting
the whole Row into a Pane...

Thanks. I am using, like you said, one-line Grids and if necessary
setting options, after reading the long tutorial tutorial/
GridsRowsAndColumnsOverview where Wolfram seemed to say "stay away
from Row, it behaves different from the rest of his family" :P

Grid is definitely what you want for this sort of thing.

Row is great for other purposes, for example formatting output that is a
mix of strings and expressions, without having to do ToString and
StringJoin.
