Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ problem using tabu package and hhline

[mslider]

Hi all,

i try to make a table like i send you here in attachement but my code failed, it seems to be an incompatibility
between tabu package and hhline.
My code:

Code: Select all

\definecolor{SGblue}{RGB}{0, 164, 196}
\definecolor{SGblue}{RGB}{0, 164, 196}
{
\setlength\arrayrulewidth{0.8pt}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5} % Default value: 1
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabu} to \textwidth {|X[3,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|X[1,c,m]|}
\rowcolor{SGblue}
\arrayrulecolor{white}
{} & \multicolumn{12}{c}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{DIFFERENCIATED STAGE}} \\
\hhline{ ------------}
\rowcolor{SGblue}
%{} & \multicolumn{4}{|c!{\color{white}\vline}}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{ECTODERM}} & \multicolumn{4}{|c!{\color{white}\vline}}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{MESODERM}} & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{ENDODERM}}\\
{} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{ECTODERM}} & \multicolumn{4}{c|}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{MESODERM}} & \multicolumn{4}{c}{\large\bf\textcolor{white}{ENDODERM}} \\
\rowcolor{SGblue}
\hhline{ ------------}
\multirow{-2}{*}{\textcolor{white}{\bf\textcolor{white}{\rule{0pt}{1em}Samples name\rule[-1em]{0pt}{1em}}}} & \bf\textcolor{white}{EN1} & \bf\textcolor{white}{MAP2} &  \bf\textcolor{white}{NEFL} & \bf\textcolor{white}{PAX6} & \bf\textcolor{white}{AFP} &

\arrayrulecolor{SGblue}

\hline
\multicolumn{13}{|c|}{\textbf{\large{(NS)}} indicates non-significant expression, \textbf{\large{(+)}} represents overexpression, and \textbf{\large{(-)}} denotes underexpression.}  \\
\hline
\end{tabu}
\end{table}
}

If someone can help me ....
Thank you --

Hi,

welcome to the forum!

Put the \rowcolor command after the \hhline command instead of before it.

Use a tilde to skip a column with \hhline:

Code: Select all

\hhline{~------------}

Stefan

[mslider]

it seems to work with \hhline{~----}
but some vertical white lines are added at the beginnig and end of row (see attachement)

I may verify this if you post a fully compilable example (minimal working example). I tried the code snippet in the first post, added missing packages etc. but it didn't show it like your screenshots, for example no row color when I tested it.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

it seems to work with \hhline{~----}

While ~ means no line, that "line" can be seen because it's the background color then... it may then be done with forcing to draw it in the cell color, like this:

Code: Select all

\hhline{>{\arrayrulecolor{SGblue}}->{\arrayrulecolor{white}}----}

but some vertical white lines are added at the beginning and end of row (see attachement)table.png

These are the normal cell borders, it's just because of \arrayrulecolor{white} before.

That becomes very complicated with such design ideas that are very different from the algorithmic table layout by LaTeX. I would choose a simpler design because content matters, though also a good style is important, but a solid one. If needed, I would draw such complicated tables in TikZ, use a matrix for positioning, colored matrix nodes, and draw the lines between rows and columns manually with regular TikZ commands.

i don't know TikZ, do you think it would be possible to do this simply using tabularx ?
