Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Colored Text in Table Row

[pizzocaro]

Hi all,

Consider the following example of table created with the siunitx package (in a beamer presentation, but that should not be important):

Code: Select all

\documentclass[hyperref={pdfpagelabels=false}]{beamer}

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{color}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{center}
	\begin{tabular}{lSS}
		\toprule
		Header & {Header} & {Header} \\
		\midrule		
		Example & -25.0 & 2.5 \\
		Example & 0.4 & 2.0 \\
		Example & 3.3 & 0.7 \\
		\bottomrule
	\end{tabular}
	\label{tab:example}
\end{center}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

I would like to color the text of two rows in a simple manner.
I can change the color of a single cell adding a command like

Code: Select all

\color{red}

for each one, but that it not easy to do for a large number of rows\cells.

Can you help me?

Hi Pizzocaro,

you could use the tabu package, which provides flexible tabular features and it is fully compatible with booktabs. For example:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabu}{lSS}
  \rowfont{\color{red}}
  Header & {Header} & {Header} \\ 
  ...
\end{tabu}

Here is a compilable minimal example, and another approach:

• How to color the font of a single row in a table?

Thanks Stefan for the nice solution!

Tabu seems a very nice package.

Unfortunately I was not able to get rowfont to work with the siunit S column.
If I find a solution I will post it here.

EDIT:
I found a workaround.
You can use the tabu X column with the S column embedded as explained in the tabu manual:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabu}{lX[c]{S}X[c]{S}}
  \rowfont{\color{red}}
  Header & {Header} & {Header} \\
  ...
\end{tabu}
