I'm trying to make a table that is very similar to the first table of Cremona's book on Elliptic Curves, however occasionally I want to have cells that span multiple row. I am not opposed to using LaTeX packages, but I have not been able to figure out how to use variable width columns which respect vertical bars around centered columns.
(This code from Wikibooks makes the centered columns appear to be right aligned
\begin{tabular*}{0.75\textwidth}{#{\extracolsep{\fill}} | c | c | c | r | }
\hline
label 1 & label 2 & label 3 & label 4 \\
\hline
item 1 & item 2 & item 3 & item 4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular*}
)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Simply use the tabular environment instead of tabular*, and your example above will have all centered cols.
I give the following example in order to show both centered multicols and centered multirows (using package multirow):
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | r | }
\hline
label 1 & label 2 & label 3 & label 4 \\
\hline
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\textbf{Name of the SLA parameter $\pi$}} &
\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\textbf{Name of the SLA parameter $\pi$}} \\
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{item 1} & item 2 & item 3 & item 4\\
& item 2 & item 3 & item 4 \\
\hline
item 1 & item 2 & item 3 & item 4 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
All columns and rows meant to be centered are centered.

I have code for a latex table, but it seems it's missing the right vertical line in my title row. Am I missing something small? Here's my code:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{||c c c||}
\hline
\textbf{Table Title} \\ [0.5ex]
\hline\hline
\hline
Col A & Col B & Col C \\
\hline\hline
1 & 0.39 & 6.16 \\
\hline
2 & 0.40 & 4.13 \\
\hline
3 & 0.28 & 0.12 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
and this is the table I get:
As the row of interest spans three columns, you might want to use \multicolumn command: \multicolumn{# of columns}{alignment}{text}. So try replacing
\textbf{Table Title} \\ [0.5ex]
with
\multicolumn{3}{||l||}{\textbf{Table Title}}\\
Technically talking, the vertical line on the right of the first row does not appear because the table is set to have three cells per row but that first row only has one cell.
The two & in the line of code below would separate three cells within that row, allowing the vertical line on the right to show:
\textbf{Table Title} & & \\ [0.5ex]
Anyway, the solution using multicolumn shown in the other answer is to be preferred: this command allows the content of the first row to span along the three columns, less likeky influencing the overall width of the table.
I'm using Overleaf to write a report. I can't seem to get the format just right for the top right corner cell.
I would also like to center "Correlation coefficient"
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{Correlation coefficient between force plate data and kinematic model data}
\label{IMUvsVB}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c||c||c|}
\hline
\textbf{Ground reaction} & \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Correlation coefficient}} \\
\cline{2-3}
& \textbf{IMU based kinematics} & \textbf{Vision based kinematics}\\
\hline
Anteroposterior & 0.91 & 0.96\\
Mediolateral & 0.80 & 0.79\\
Vertical & 0.97 & 0.99\\
Frontal & 0.64 & 0.66\\
Sagittal & 0.91 & 0.94\\
Transverse & 0.82 & 0.84\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Substitute
\textbf{Ground reaction} & \multicolumn{2}{l}{\textbf{Correlation coefficient}} \\
with
\textbf{Ground reaction} & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{\textbf{Correlation coefficient}} \\
The \multicolumn command needs 3 inputs:
The 1st one is the number of columns to be spanned.
The 2nd is the formatting of the cell (l for left, c for center and r for right). Here you can add also | for a single vertical line or even || for a double vertical line.
The 3rd one is the content of the cell.
Have a look at the documentation here if you need more insights on the usage of \multicolumn.
I am trying to create a table that has combination of single column and double columns rows? Any idea how can I do that in latex?
See Figure below:
You should set the tabular using the maximum number of columns, and then make some columns span \multicolumn:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage[nopar]{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\noindent
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{| X | X | X |}
\hline
& Abstract & Direct \\
\hline
Type A & \multicolumn{2}{ p{\dimexpr.6667\linewidth-2\tabcolsep} |}{\lipsum[1]} \\
\cline{2-3}
& A & B \\
\hline
Type B & \multicolumn{2}{ p{\dimexpr.6667\linewidth-2\tabcolsep} |}{\lipsum[2]} \\
\cline{2-3}
& A & B \\
\hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}
I am a new with Latex and I would like to correct this table:
I need the texts to be on left
I need to shift the hole table
in the left also so it will be clearer
To align the whole object (table) to left, use \begin{flushleft} ... \end{flushleft}.
To align the text in cells in a column to left, center or right, use 'l', 'c' or 'r' in the description of your tabular, like bellow.
\begin{flushleft}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{lcrrr}
\hline
Minta & pH & time & d & eltáv.\\
\hline
e-Ni-NA1 & ? & 7100 & 18 & Marás \\
e-Ni-NA2 & ? & 7100 & 18 & Marás \\
e-Ni-NA3 & 3.3 & 7200 & 18 & Cellux \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{flushleft}
I've found an example here but that only centers one column and I can't really adapt it to my needs. What I'd like is something like this:
You'll need \usepackage{array} to do this.
From what I can gather, you're looking at the m{} alignment, which wraps a paragraph at the specified point value, and vertically aligns the text to the middle of the field. For example, something like this:
\begin{tabular}{|m{2cm}|m{1ex}|m{1ex}|m{1ex}} \hline
& x1 & x2 & x3 \\\hline
Long Label & 1 & 0 & 1 \\\hline
Long Label & 0 & 1 & 1 \\\hline
\end{tabular}
Try this:
\begin{tabular}{|m{3.5em}|b{1em}|b{1em}|b{1em}|}
\hline
%% row 1
&x1
&x2
&x3
\\\hline
%% row 2
Long Label
&1
&0
&1
\\\hline
%% row 3
Long Label
&1
&0
&1
\\\hline
\end{tabular}
