General ⇒ Overlapping of equation and its serial number

[akira32]

My equations and these serial numbers overlap a liittle part.
How do I separate them with a small distance.
I show the overlapping in the picture I attached.

Code: Select all

\begin{eqnarray}
Rect\_np.left=Rect\_Parent.left + Rect\_sm.left * Rect\_Parent.Width\\
Rect\_np.right=Rect\_Parent.left + Rect\_sm.right * Rect\_Parent.Width\\
Rect\_np.top=Rect\_Parent.top - Rect\_sm.top * Rect\_Parent.Height\\
Rect\_np.bottom=Rect\_Parent.top - Rect\_sm.bottom * Rect\_Parent.Height
\end{eqnarray}

Hi,

that's a known problem of eqnarray. eqnarray is obsolete, use the align environment of amsmath instead. For reasons and examples have a look at eqnarray vs. align. I modified your example:

Code: Select all

\begin{align}
Rect\_np.left   &= Rect\_Parent.left + Rect\_sm.left * Rect\_Parent.Width\\
Rect\_np.right  &= Rect\_Parent.left + Rect\_sm.right * Rect\_Parent.Width\\
Rect\_np.top    & =Rect\_Parent.top - Rect\_sm.top * Rect\_Parent.Height\\
Rect\_np.bottom &= Rect\_Parent.top - Rect\_sm.bottom * Rect\_Parent.Height
\end{align}

You may see that the equations are automatically aligned at the = relation symbol, perhaps you like that. There should be no overlapping, the tag/number would be set into the next line.
Perhaps you want to use a smaller font in that case, try:

Code: Select all

{\small
\begin{align}
...
\end{align}
}
