Math & Science ⇒ How to change the linespread space in array environment

[neumannturing]

It is a squeeze in the array. How can I add some space into the lines? I try to add one blank line but then there are too much. Thank you.

There's a command that determines the row height in array (and tabular) environment.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2}

In the preamble it has global effect. There are some other solutions which do not rely on the array environment (i. e. cases environment).


Best regards

It works. Thanks. But how about fine-tuneing the vertical space equation and text? Latex adds spaces between the math equation and the ordinary text which is not appropriate in many case. I try to use vspace(), but it does not work(ie, vspace{-0.5in} will make the text move down!!!!). The behavior of Latex seems weird to me. Appreciate your help.

I would like you to show us examples of this problem in 'many places', because if that is the case then something is wrong

I had a similar question and gmedina suggested using
\setlength{\abovedisplayskip}{<length>} and
\setlenght{\belowdisplayskip}{<length>}
to change the vertical space above and below the display. I do not know how to link to that thread, but a search for the term abovedisplayskip should bring it up.
