Minimum number of cells after, before, above and below NxN squares is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task

Find and show on this page the minimum number of cells after, before, above and below   N×N   squares,   where   N = 10.

11l

Translation of: Python
F min_cells_matrix(siz)
   R (0 .< siz).map(row -> (0 .< @siz).map(col -> min(@row, col, @@siz - @row - 1, @@siz - col - 1)))

F display_matrix(mat)
   V siz = mat.len
   V spaces = I siz < 20 {2} E I siz < 200 {3} E 4
   print("\nMinimum number of cells after, before, above and below "siz‘ x ’siz‘ square:’)
   L(row) 0 .< siz
      print(mat[row].map(n -> String(n).rjust(@spaces)).join(‘’))

L(siz) [23, 10, 9, 2, 1]
   display_matrix(min_cells_matrix(siz))
Output:

Translation of: Wren

As with the Algol W version, the cells are printed as they are calculated. Ensures the counts are shown in the same width.

The problem is not well described. You have to look at other people's code to understand the problem, which turns out to be something quite different from the description seems to say.

function EdgeDistance(P: TPoint; Size: integer): integer;
{Find the distance to the nearest edge}
begin
Result:=Min(Min(P.X,(Size-1)-P.X),Min(P.Y,(Size-1)-P.Y));
end;


procedure MapMatrix(Memo: TMemo; Size: integer);
{Map each cell in Size X Size matrix}
{with the distance to nearest edge}
var X,Y,E: integer;
var S: string;
begin
Memo.Lines.Add(Format('Map for %d X %d Matrix',[Size,Size]));
S:='';
for Y:=0 to Size-1 do
	begin
	for X:=0 to Size-1 do
		begin
		E:=EdgeDistance(Point(X,Y),Size);
		S:=S+Format('%3d',[E]);
		end;
	S:=S+#$0D#$0A;
	end;

end;

Although I rather like it the way it is, you could argue there should be more spacing on the 23x23, if you insist do this before the loops and use fmt on the innermost line:

    string fmt = sprintf("%%%dd",length(sprint(floor((n-1)/2)))+1)

or maybe just (good for n<=200 whereas the above goes on and on to "%4d", etc.)

    string fmt = iff(n<=20?"%2d":"%3d")
