VCenter

Center an operand's logical height on the math axis. It keeps the operand's advance, size, and ink and supplies a corresponding baseline. The result is an ordinary atom. Strings parse as TeX, and ordinary Gum elements work too.

childrenEmptyOperand to center.
klass / left / right"mord"Atom classes of the completed box.

This is useful for an object whose own baseline should not determine its position in a formula. TeX uses \vcenter{\hbox{…}}, with math inside $…$. Use RaiseBox for an explicit vertical shift.
