I have a table with 3 columns where the first 2 columns are pictures and the 3rd is my comment on those pictures, but the comment "drowns", it is down at the bottom of the cell.
I have tried with m{2cm} instead of c:
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{c c m{2cm}}
but no change.
\begin{table}
\caption{Caption if needed}
\label{tab:lastcheck}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{c c c}
\textbf{O-Na} & \textbf{Na-Y} & \textbf{Comments} \\
\includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth]{pic1.png} &
\includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth]{pic2.png} &
My comments. \\
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}
My text is at the bottom of the cell.
The graphbox provides the handy align=c option to vertically centre images:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{graphbox}
\usepackage{makecell}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\caption{Caption if needed}
\label{tab:lastcheck}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{XXX}
\thead{O-Na} & \thead{Na-Y} & \thead{Comments} \\
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,align=c]{example-image-duck} &
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,align=c]{example-image-duck} &
My comments. \\
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}
\end{document}

I want to set the width of my longtable so it fits within the page and not crops out. I have 206 columns and 17 rows.
I use tablesgenerator.com to get my longtable, but the option "Scale table to text width" doesn't work with longtable, could use some help. (Latex beginner here).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{#{}lllllllllllllllll#{}}
\toprule
\textbf{SN} & \textbf{zhelio} & \textbf{zhelio\_un} & \textbf{zCMB} &
\textbf{zCMB\_un} & \textbf{Peak\_MJD} & \textbf{Peak\_MJD\_un} & \textbf{x1}
& \textbf{x1\_un} & \textbf{c} & \textbf{c\_un} & \textbf{mB} &
\textbf{mB\_un} & \textbf{t} & \textbf{t\_un} & \textbf{Host\_logmass} &
\textbf{Host\_logmass\_un} \\* \midrule
\endhead
%table stuff here...
\caption{}
\label{tab:my-table}\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
This is what it looks like
Assuming you mean 206 rows and not columns, then you could try the following strategies:
put the table on landscape pages
use a smaller font
reduce the margins of your document to have more space
reduce the space between columns
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[vmargin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lscape}
\begin{document}
\begin{landscape}
\small
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{2pt}
\begin{longtable}{#{}lllllllllllllllll#{}}
\toprule
\textbf{SN} & \textbf{zhelio} & \textbf{zhelio\_un} & \textbf{zCMB} &
\textbf{zCMB\_un} & \textbf{Peak\_MJD} & \textbf{Peak\_MJD\_un} & \textbf{x1}
& \textbf{x1\_un} & \textbf{c} & \textbf{c\_un} & \textbf{mB} &
\textbf{mB\_un} & \textbf{t} & \textbf{t\_un} & \textbf{Host\_logmass} &
\textbf{Host\_logmass\_un} \\* \midrule
\endhead
%table stuff here...
\caption{}
\label{tab:my-table}\\

In latex, I know we can use the multirow command like the following,
\begin{table}[!h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{A}
& I want to place this sentence in multiple lines, \\
& but don't want to control the linebreak myself \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
I think it is so stupid to control the linebreak myself.
Any other alternative that fits the text width to line width?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\renewcommand\tabularxcolumn[1]{m{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|c|X|}
\hline
A
& I want to place this sentence in multiple lines, but don't want to control the linebreak myself \\
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{table}
\end{document}
I noticed some strange behaviour when combining \multirow with \multicolumn:
head 1.1 should vertically centred.
head 1.2 is supposed to be vertically and horizontally centred
Is there an alternative solution to \multirow and \multicolumn for creating more complex headers for LaTeX tables or is there a fix for my problem?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|}
\multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{\multirow{3}{*}{head 1.1}} &
\multicolumn{2}{|C{2cm}}{\multirow{2}{*}{head 1.2}} &
\multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{head 1.3 which is longer than expected} \\ \hline
& & & \multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{head 2.3} \\
& \multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{head 2.2.1} &
\multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{head 2.2.2} &
\multicolumn{1}{|C{2cm}}{head 3.3}
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
I'd suggest stacking your multi-level headings/cells using a tabular, which will naturally centre it vertically with respect to the other cells. Such tabular stacking is made easy using makecell:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{makecell}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r|r|}
head 1.1 &
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{head 1.2} &
\makecell{head 1.3 \\ which is \\ longer than \\ expected} \\
\hline
& head 2.2.1 & head 2.2.2 & \makecell{head 2.3 \\ head 3.3}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Other options also exist in aligning cells to the [t]op or [b]ottom.
Ok so i wrote this simple code (shown below) to create an alternate colour table using \rowcolors, yet instead of just colouring the rows of the table it colours the whole row (even more than textwidth). Any help how to fix this?
begin{table}[ht]
\scriptsize
\begin{center}
\rowcolors{1}{lightgray}{white}
\caption{...}
\begin{tabular}{p{0.45\textwidth} | p{0.55\textwidth}}
Filename & Contents \\
\hline
\hline
A & B \\
C & F \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
While 0.45\textwidth + 0.55\textwidth would seem to fit within \textwidth, each of your p-columns have an extra column separation... on both sides. To that end, you should remove them in order to make it fit within the text block boundary:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[ht]
\scriptsize\centering
\rowcolors{1}{lightgray}{white}
\caption{This is a table.}
\begin{tabular}{
p{\dimexpr0.45\textwidth-2\tabcolsep} |
p{\dimexpr0.55\textwidth-2\tabcolsep}}
Filename & Contents \\
\hline
\hline
A & B \\
C & F
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
Also, don't use the center environment; use \centering instead.
Can Someone tell me by which command I can draw a table in vertical display in LaTex.
Thanks..
I think you want the lscape package, can be usefully used for this purpose as follows:
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{....}
.......
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}
EDIT 2nd solution:
Another possibility is to use the sideways environment from the rotating package:
\begin{sideways}
\begin{tabular}
...
\end{tabular}
\end{sideways}
And for floating tables sidewaystable.
The following code works for me to display the table at the center of vertical position.
\begin{landscape}
\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\caption{Table name}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
A & B & C \\
20 &23 &56 \\
25 &25 &65 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{landscape}
