Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ aligning the contents in multirow.

[dmuthu_cse]

Hello friends,

I would like to know if i can centerrise the content of \multirow item.

Here is the sample code of how i've created the table.

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\hline
\multirow{2}{2in}{\textbf{Previous continuous loading as a \% of the rating}}	& \multicolumn{5}{c|}{\textbf{Over loading duration}}\\
 \cline{2-6}

I want "Previous continuous loading as a % of the rating" to be centered both horizontally and vertically.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Muthu

Hi Muthu,

if you post incomplete sample code nobody can test it in order to suggest a working/tested solution.
So I suggest to use the optional fixup parameter for vertical adjustment, like written in the multirow package documentation:

Code: Select all

\multirow{number}{width}[fixup]{text}

fixup could be an appropriate distance.

Hello stefan,

sorry for the inconvenience happened in the previous post..

i really that, it would be total mess up if i would give u the whole table.

As you have told, i am herewith enclosing the full table. Now i want to know whether i can specify any width parameters to \multicolumn. Because my table is exceeding the needed width.. And it can be solved if some-how i can reduce the width of a particular column. i.e "Continuous Current rating" column

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[ht]
\caption{}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ccccccccc}\toprule
\multicolumn{9}{c}{11/11 kV, Three Core Aluminium conductor, XLPE insulated and PVC sheathed,}\\

\end{tabular}
\end{table}

My output size is 6in(width) x 8in{height)..

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Now i want to know whether i can specify any width parameters to \multicolumn.

You could use a p-column, like

Code: Select all

\multicolumn{2}{p{0.6in}}{Continuous Current rating}
