Very big braces in latex

Post by abujosa »

I'm trying to use a big right brace } inside a table to select several rows. That is, use the } symbol instead of the common vertical line.

Here is the code that I'm using:

\begin{table}[htpb]
\caption{tablename}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
colum1 & column2 & \multirow{3}*{\Bigg\rbrace column3} \\
col1 & cl2 & \\
col1 & cl2 & \\
\end{tabular}
\label{GIS}
\end{table}

With this code I get a big right brace, but this is not enough for the size of the rows that I have in the table. Is it possible to get bigger braces??

Thank you very much!!

Hi abujosa,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
It would be nice if you mentioned that you posted the question to another board, to avoid the work to give answers when solutions already are given in the other forum. Here gmedina and I gave suggestions for the solution.
Feel free to post here or there if you still have questions.
