Vertical alignment in row with a figure

Post by luc4 »

Hi! I have a row of a table where a cell contains a figure. I would like the content to be vertical aligned. Is this possible? I tried many ways but none is working:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline 
aaaaa & \includegraphics[height=1cm]{unipd} & bbbbb\tabularnewline
\hline
\end{tabular}
Is there anyone who can help me? Thanks!

Hi,

for vertical alignment you could use \parbox inside the table cells, \parbox supports vertical positioning parameters like t or b for top or bottom alignment.

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately I wasn't able to use that \parbox, but I found a different solution. I created a new command:

Code: Select all

\newcommand\centerAlign[1]{%
  \raisebox{-0.5\height}{#1}%
}
and then used it to center align contents of the cells. Seems to work just fine. Thanks!
