Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Creating boxes and circles inside a table

[dmuthu_cse]

Hello friends,

I need to create a special type of table in which, a circle or square or a circle and square should be placed. And also the item such as "20" or "-5" should appear inside the corresponding circle or squares.

I know its difficult to imagine, hence i have attached the pdf file of it, please go through it and let me know the code, how i can proceed to get the table done..

Thanking you in advance,

Regards,
Muthu

Hello Thorsten,

Thanks for your reply...

With that, i was now able to create tables with circles..

But the circle is not correctly placed in my table.. I don't know where i am going wrong.. The table is not looking good..

Please let me know the correction.

Hi Muthu,

try something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[b5paper]{book}
\usepackage{array,amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz-inet,pgf}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,calc}
\usepackage[centering,
  headheight=14pt,
  headsep=10pt,
  includehead,
  papersize={18cm,24cm},
  text={15.25cm,19.2cm},
  dvips=false,
  pdftex=false,
  vtex=false
]{geometry}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center]{crop}
\usepackage{graphicx,colortbl}
\usepackage{booktabs,multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}

% nodes with circle
\newcommand{\mymk}[1]{%
  \tikz \node[anchor=south west, draw,circle, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=7mm,
    text height=2mm]{\ensuremath{#1}} ;}
% nodes with rectangle
\newcommand{\mymku}[1]{%
  \tikz \node[draw, rectangle, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=7mm,
    text height=2mm]{\ensuremath{#1}} ;}
% nodes with circle and rectangle 
\newcommand{\mymkcr}[1]{%
  \tikz  \draw node (a) [draw,circle,minimum size=7mm,after node path={(\tikzlastnode)
    ($(a.south west)+(-3pt,-3pt)$) rectangle  ($(a.north east)+(3pt,3pt)$)}]{#1};}
% nodes without border
\newcommand{\none}[1]{%
  \tikz \node[anchor=south west, rectangle, inner sep=0pt, minimum size=7mm,
    text height=2mm]{\ensuremath{#1}} ;}

\newcolumntype{A}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{#1}}
\newcommand\ventry{\multicolumn{1}{c}{}}

\begin{document}


\begin{center}
  \setlength\extrarowheight{3.6mm}
  \begin{longtable}{A{2cm}|A{1cm}|A{1cm}|A{1cm}|}
    \ventry & \ventry & \multicolumn{2}{c}{Player B}\\
    \ventry & \ventry & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$B_1$} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{$B_2$}\\
    \cline{2-4}
    \multirow{3}*{Player A} & \none{A_1} & \mymk{20} & \mymku{80}\\ 
    \cline{2-4}
    & \none{A_2} & \none{40} & \mymk{30}\\ 
    \cline{2-4}
    & \none{A_3} & \mymkcr{50} & \none{60}\\ 
    \cline{2-4}
    \ventry & \multicolumn{3}{c}{Value of game V=50}
  \end{longtable}
\end{center}

\end{document}

By the way, 10.5pt is not a valid class option.

Hello gmedina,

Thanks for your perfect solution. Now my table is looking good.

I wonder we can encircle a particular row in the table. Please do help me in this regard.

I am herewith attaching the table for your reference.

One possibility would be to use the hhline package (however you cannot obtain rounded corners with this package, so the row will be enclosed by a rectangle).

Another option is to use PGF/TikZ; here's an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tikz-inet}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix,fit,calc}

\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \matrix (magic) [%
    matrix of nodes,row sep=1mm,
    text width=10mm,text height=1mm,
    text badly centered
  ]
  {%
    \ & I & II & III & IV & V\\
    I & 3 & 5 & 4 & 9 & 3\\
    II &  5 & 6 & 9 & 7 & 8\\
    III & 8 & 7 & 8 & 8 & 9\\
    IV & 4 & 4 & 8 & 5 & 3\\
  };
  % horizontal lines of the table
  \draw (magic-1-2.north west) -- (magic-1-6.north east);
  \foreach \i in {2,3,4,5}
    \draw (magic-\i-1.north west) -- (magic-\i-6.north east);
  \draw (magic-5-1.south west) -- (magic-5-6.south east);
  % vertical lines of the table
  \draw (magic-2-1.north west) -- (magic-5-1.south west);
  \foreach \j in {2,3,4,5,6}
    \draw (magic-1-\j.north west) -- (magic-5-\j.south west);
  \draw (magic-1-6.north east) -- (magic-5-6.south east);
  % the rounded rectangle for a row
  \draw [rounded corners=2pt,thin] 
    ($(magic-5-2.north west)+(2pt,-2pt)$)  rectangle ($(magic-5-6.south east)+(-2pt,2pt)$);
  % some labels 
  \node at ($(magic.north)+(18pt,5pt)$) {B};
  \node at ($(magic.west)+(-8pt,-10pt)$) {A};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}
