Position and Size of long Table

Postby gking92 » Sun Mar 17, 2013 10:47 pm

Hi

I'm not sure how to a manipulate the positioning and size of a long table on the page.

With a regular table I have tried the adjustwidth environment from chngpage and the \scalebox command from graphicx, but they don't seem to be compatible with longtable. Trying to change the font size with \footnotesize also doesn't seem to work.

Here is a working example of the table:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf
  1. \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
  2. \usepackage{longtable}
  3. \begin{document}
  4.  
  5. \begin{longtable}{cc|cccc|cccc|cc|c}
  6. \caption{The full catalogue produced by SExtractor in ASSOC mode. Note that the 'Star/Galaxy' values are a probability associated with the likelihood that the object is a star.}
  7.   \footnotesize \\
  8.  
  9.   \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Position on Final Image} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Red Passband} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Blue Passband} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{B-R} &  \\
  10.      X     & Y     & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Flux  & Flux Error & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Flux  & Flux Error & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Star/Galaxy \\
  11. \hline
  12. \endfirsthead
  13.  
  14. \multicolumn{4}{c}%
  15. {\tablename\ \thetable\ -- \textit{Continued from previous page}} \\
  16. \hline
  17.   \multicolumn{2}{c|}{Position on Final Image} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Red Passband} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Blue Passband} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{B-R} &  \\
  18.      X     & Y     & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Flux  & Flux Error & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Flux  & Flux Error & Magnitude & Mag. Error & Star/Galaxy \\
  19. \hline
  20. \endhead

For such a large table it might be worth considering to rotate it:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex) Open in Overleaf
  1. \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
  2. \usepackage{lscape}
  3. \usepackage{longtable}
  4. \begin{document}
  5.  
  6. \begin{landscape}\small
  7. \begin{longtable}{cc|cccc|cccc|cc|c}
  8.   ...
  9. \end{longtable}
  10. \end{landscape}
  11. \end{document}
