Math & Science ⇒ Regarding Equation/matrix size

[xerion]

I was wondering if there is a specific limit of size that the actual equation can allocate or a limitation on matrix size. I have a couple of matrices that are longer that 10 elements and the last 1-2 elements in every row are moved to a new line, which i dont like. Its only couple more elements so i dont mind it if its gonna move more to the left and there is definitely space to fit it. I think that this is a limit in the bmatrx environment as i can add more maths before the equation

The matrix below will change lines in the 10th element, however i am able to add more terms before the bmatrix. How can i change this so the whole elements are in the same line ?

Code: Select all

\begin{equation}
  \begin{bmatrix}
    X & Y & Z & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & A_1 & A_2 & A_3 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & X & Y & Z & 1 & A_1 & A_2 & A_3
  \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}

Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas to everyone,
Christos

By default you're limited to 10 columns, but you can change that by editing the MaxMatrixCols counter, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\setcounter{MaxMatrixCols}{12}
\begin{equation}
  \begin{bmatrix}
    X & Y & Z & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & A_1 & A_2 & A_3 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & X & Y & Z & 1 & A_1 & A_2 & A_3
  \end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
