Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem with my tables!

[lukaszskowron96]

Hi. So I created a bunch of tables for my document, but when I zoom in I can see that line don't really touch each other perfectly. Is there any way to get rid of this? I mean to make a table as one full line all-around? It is really annoying me and I hope there is a way to fix it with some kind of package.

How are you generating the table? What is the code for it?

[lukaszskowron96]

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c |}
\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Parameter} & \multirow{2}{*}{Undrained Conditions} & \multirow{2}{*}{Drained Conditions} \\ 
 & & \\ \hline
Friction angle - \( \phi \) & \( \phi = \phi_{u} = 0 \) & \( \phi = \phi' > 0 \) \\ \hline
Cohesion - \(c\) & \( c = s_{u} > 0 \) & \( c = c' = 0 \) \\ \hline
Surcharge - \(q\) & \(q\) (total stress) & \( q'\) (effective stress) \\ \hline
Unit weight - \( \gamma \) & \( \gamma \) (total weight) & \( \gamma'\) (effective weight) \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{tab:table-name}Undrained and drained parameters}
\end{table}

Ok, I changed all \hline into \cline{1-3} and seems like the problem is gone for all upper lines, however there is still that problem at the bottom. See picture. Any ideas how to change that? I mean I can live with that but would like to know if there's a way.

This simply fixes it:

\usepackage{array}

Thanks! It works now!

And there is no need to change to \cline{1-3}.
