Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Wide arrays

[krislodz]

I have a problem of making wide array fit width of the document, so I used tabularx. But there are now badboxes inside the table.

Here is example of such faulty table:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[draft,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{tabularx}


\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!htb]
 \centering
 \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|c c|X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X|}
  \hline
  \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{} & \multicolumn{16}{|c|}{$i=$} \\
  \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{} & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12
& 13 & 14 & 15 \\ \hline
  \multirow{3}{*}{$N_w=$} & 4 & 0 & 3 & 2 & 1 & \multicolumn{12}{c|}{} \\
   & 8 & 2 & 1 & 4 & 7 & 6 & 5 & 0 & 3 & \multicolumn{8}{c|}{} \\
   & 16 & 0 & 9 & 2 & 13 & 6 & 11 & 4 & 15 & 10 & 7 & 12 & 3 & 14 & 5 & 8 & 1 \\
  \hline
 \end{tabularx}
 \caption{Word permutation $\pi(i)$ values.}
 \label{tab:ThreefishWordPermutation}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Any ideas in which direction to move?

\documentclass[draft,10pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!htb]
    \centering
    \setlength{\tabcolsep}{2pt}
    \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|cc|*{16}{X}|}\hline
      & & \multicolumn{16}{|c|}{$i=$} \\
      & & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 14 & 15 \\ \hline
      \multirow{3}{*}{$N_w=$} & 4 & 0 & 3 & 2 & 1 & \multicolumn{12}{c|}{} \\
      & 8 & 2 & 1 & 4 & 7 & 6 & 5 & 0 & 3 & \multicolumn{8}{c|}{} \\
      & 16 & 0 & 9 & 2 & 13 & 6 & 11 & 4 & 15 & 10 & 7 & 12 & 3 & 14 & 5 & 8 & 1 \\ \hline
    \end{tabularx}
    \caption{Word permutation $\pi(i)$ values.}
    \label{tab:ThreefishWordPermutation}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Nice, is there a way to make a separation between the second and third row, because third row is too close to vertical line. So the solution was to add column separation ?

[localghost]

Clarify whether we are talking about rows or columns.

[krislodz]

Sorry, my mistake, columns of course.

[localghost]

Just insert some horizontal space between the concerned columns in the head of tabular environment. But you may have to readjust the length \tabcolsep in order not to run into an overfull box problem again. Finally the horizontal space for the table is limited to the text width.

Thanks, works fine and table looks better.
