(defun example2 (&key (stream *standard-output*)
                      inter-row-spacing
                      inter-column-spacing)
  (clim:formatting-table
   (stream :inter-row-spacing inter-row-spacing
           :inter-column-spacing inter-column-
           spacing)
   (dotimes (i 3)
     (clim:formatting-row
      (stream)
      (dotimes (j 3)
        (clim:formatting-cell
         (stream)
         (clim:draw-rectangle* stream 10 10 50 50)))))))

Evaluating (example2 :stream *my-stream* :inter-row-spacing 5) shows this table:
