Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ dashed lines in a table

[CoolnessItself]

Hi all,

I'm working in Beamer, so my page size is small. I have table with large width and small height, and I'd like to display it on one slide.

I've already reduced the size of the table with all the tricks I came across, but I will need to split it along two lines.

Ideally, I want the table to look like the attachment.

I can make two separate tables, but is there a way to make a fake row of dashed lines on each side? It seems \hdashline affects an entire line

Hi,

interesting approach! I did not see this way yet.

Just an opinion: I think a presentation is not a good place for showing a huge table to the public. In a talk with slides, I would show the data in a quicker and more understandable way, such as using a diagram. If the table data is interesting and important, I would provide a handout to the people.

It's nice that you attached a picture. However, as long as you don't post some code, the question is still quite theoretical as nobody has code to work with. So I just can answer you without code as well, that I would use TikZ if there's no other suitable package, as TikZ can be used for drawing dashed and dotted lines anywhere.

Without TikZ, I would use the arydshln package.

Also here, a table with kind of real content (if it's not top secret), or just a part of it, would be nice. Seeing just item1, ... , item10 is a bit boring, but it's ok if you don't like to show some content.
