Page Layout ⇒ edit margins for a single page

[xeroxed_yeti]

Hi,

I'm a total newbie when it comes to latex...

but I'm working on it

My Problem is that I've got a huge table on a single page (working with longtable is no option for me, data should be represent on a single page) and I still miss the legend. Is there a possibility to edit the page layout parameter just for this 'table page'?

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.48}
\begin{table}[p]
\setlength{\topmargin}{-1in}
	\centering
	\begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|l||cc|}

I tried page options like '\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.3in}' etc. at the start tag of the table object with no success. '\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.3in}' etc. always effects the previous page, but not the 'table page'. ...I didn't get it

Maybe you can help me?!

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

you can use the \changepage command provided by the chngpage (documentation contained in the chngpage.sty file itself), as the following schematic example shows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{chngpage}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.48}
\begin{table}[!p]
  \changepage{}{}{-3cm}{-3cm}{}{-1in}{}{}{}
  \setlength{\topmargin}{-1in}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|l||cc|}
    ...(the table code)...
  \end{tabular}   
  \caption{Platzhalter}
  \label{tab:tumor_nontumor_tissue}
\end{table}
 
\end{document}

Of course, change the values used as arguments of \changepage, according to your needs.

On a side note, I would suggest some changes to your code:

1) Declare \tiny as a switch for all of the table
2) Since you are not going to use the sidewaystable environment, I would prefer to rotate the table headings using the \rotate command provided by the graphicx package.

So, your code would be something like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{chngpage}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{0.48}
\begin{table}[!p]
  \tiny
  \changepage{}{}{-3cm}{-3cm}{}{-1in}{}{}{}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|l||cc|}
    \hline
    \rotatebox{90}{Nummer} & \rotatebox{90}{Gewebstyp} & \rotatebox{90}{Gewebe}
    &\rotatebox{90}{Proben} & \rotatebox{90}{Tumor} & \rotatebox{90}{kein Tumor}\\\hline \hline
    1 & Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Bone Marrow, Grade Common & Bone Marrow & 35 & x & \\\hline
    2 & Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Bone Marrow, Grade Pre-B  & Bone Marrow & 33 & x & \\\hline
    3 & Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Peripheral Blood, Grade Pre-B & Blood & 9 & x & \\\hline
    \end{tabular}   
  \caption{Platzhalter}
  \label{tab:tumor_nontumor_tissue}
\end{table}
 
\end{document}
