\tabcolsep
/ \arraycolsep
.
One time before and one time after the optional vertical line. This additional space can
be overwritten with the @{}
operator. Its argument can hold any command and can
be empty, which is the same than a zero width.\usepackage{ltablex}\keepXColumnsFor the columns which widths should be set by the package choose the column type
X
.
In case of a very small last column choose
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\RaggedRight}X}Remember that in those columns
\\
ends the column line not the tabular line, which is
possible with \tabularnewline
.
Dynamical Tables | Example | |
---|---|---|
Creating Tables with a command like \dyntable{5}is possible with the following stuff in the preamble: \makeatletter \newcommand*{\InitToks}{\toks@={}} \newcommand{\AddToks}[1]{% \toks@=\expandafter{\the\toks@ #1}} \newcommand*{\PrintToks}{\the\toks@} \newcommand*{\dyntable}[1]{% \begingroup \InitToks \AddToks{\begin{tabular}{c}}% \count@=0 % \loop\ifnum\count@<#1\relax \advance\count@ by 1 % \expandafter\AddToks\expandafter{% \the\count@. Row \tabularnewline}% \repeat \AddToks{\end{tabular}}% \PrintToks \endgroup} \makeatotherIt produces the output: 1. Row 2. Row 3. Row 4. Row 5. Row |

$\tabfrac{...}{...}$
when
writing math fractions in tables.
\newcommand{\tabfrac}[2]{% \setlength{\fboxrule}{0pt}% \fbox{$\frac{#1}{#2}$}% }This writes a fbox without a rule but with the fboxsep. For another example look here.
p{..}
columns which are left-, rightaligned or centered, then a
\\
at the end of the row ends the textline
but not the tabularline. In this case still use \tabularnewline
. F.ex.:
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}You can choose any other factor for the spacing.
For eqnarray (also all amsmath special environments) use
\addtolength{\jot}{5pt}
\addtolength{\tabcolsep}{-1mm} \setlength{\tabcolsep}{3mm}The values are only examples. With the first one you are able to reset the value behind a table with the positive value or viceversa.
it's also possible to turn off the separation when you insert as an argument
@{}c|c@{}
(as an example for a 2*2 table with no borders on the left and the right)
On the other hand you can insert any character as a separation, e.g. a "=". The following
code defines this character as column separator and defines a macro specialLine
which has no separator:
\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}
.
Header/Footer and tables
It is possible to put tables in the header or footer. For example a table in the header.
In Latex preamble
\usepackage{fancyhdr}In Latex Preamble or in the text:
\newcommand\myTable{% \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline a & b \\\hline c & d\\\hline \end{tabular}% } \fancyhead[LE,LO]{\myTable\hfill\thepage}gives the following table in the header
----- |a|b| |c|d| ----- |
\scriptsizeor any other fontsize. Just behind the table (outside)
\normalsizeOr alternative when you want all tables with the font size \tiny
\addtocounter{footnote}{-(n-1)} \footnotetext{... the footnotetext ...} \stepcounter{footnote}\footnotetext{... the next footnotetext ...} ...n is the number of footnotes in your table, e.g. 3, than you have to write \addtocounter{footnote}{-2}.This command is not necessary if there is only one footnote.
\renewcommand\arraystretch{MyValue}% (MyValue=1.0 is for standard spacing)Different height for single rows
\newlength{\myVSpace}% the height of the box \setlength{\myVSpace}{1ex}% the default, \newcommand\xstrut{\raisebox{-.5\myVSpace}% symmetric behaviour, {\rule{0pt}{\myVSpace}}% }and than once in every table- or arrayline
\xstrut
\xstrut
defines an unvisible box with the specific height. You can change the height with
\addtolength{\myVSpace}{1cm}
Automatic Lineheight
