Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ vertical lines & multicolumn in tables

[steem84]

Hi there,

I observed that after using \multicolumn in the table enviroment, a vertical line is not visible in that row. Here is an example:

\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ll||ccc|ccc|ccc||c|c}
\hline
&& \multicolumn{6}{c}{experiments} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{simulation} & x & y \\
\hline
1 & 2& 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\
1 & 2& 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


and the result:

However, the double line is not visible after the word 'simulation', and that is what I wanted. How to do this ?

Thanks in advance!

You better upload attachments to the forum server because external links can get lost with time. Furthermore there is the »Code« environment for posting code.

The \multicolumn command accepts in its second argument the same column settings as they are in the table head. Modify your code as shown below.

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{ll||ccc|ccc|ccc||c|c} \hline
    & & \multicolumn{6}{c}{experiments} & \multicolumn{3}{c||}{simulation} & x & y \\\hline
    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\
    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 \\
  \end{tabular}
\end{table}
