Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Unusual Table Shape

[Nihil[CL]]

Hello,
I'm a new user of latex and I'm having some serious issues trying to make a table, so far I have this:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\scalebox{0.7}{%
\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|c|c}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{}&
\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Calidad firma j}\\
\hline
&1 & 2 & $\cdots$ & $\rho^{max}$ \\
\hline
1&$1,00$ $1,00$ &$R\pi_i(1,2) R\pi_j(2,1)$&$\cdots $&$R\pi_i(1,\rho^{max}) R\pi_j(\rho^{max},1)$ \\
\hline
2&$R\pi_i(2,1) R\pi_j(1,2)$&$1,00$ $1,00$ &$\cdots $&$R\pi_i(2,\rho^{max}) R\pi_j(\rho^{max},2)$ \\
\hline
$\vdots$&$\cdots$&$\cdots$&$\cdots$&$\cdots$ \\
\hline
$\rho^{max}$&$R\pi_i(\rho^{max},1) R\pi_j(1,\rho^{max})$&$R\pi_i(\rho^{max},2) R\pi_j(2,\rho^{max})$& $\cdots $& $1,00$ $1,00$ \\
\hline
\end{tabular}}
\end{center}

And it should be like the image below. I'll appreciate any advice, thanks.

There is nothing unusual about the shape of the table. It is still a rectangular box

It would be better if you post a compilable example like a minimal working example rather than just the fragment you are working on.

I am posting my attempt which reprodcues what you want. You can use tabularx or tabulary packages to get the desired widths for your columns and rows.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
  \cline{3-6} 
  \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & & \multicolumn{4}{|c|}{Calidad Firma} \\ \cline{3-6}
  \multicolumn{1}{c}{} & & 1 & 2 & \ldots & $\rho^{\mathrm max}$ \\ \hline  
  \multirow{4}{2em}%
  {\rotatebox{-90}{Calidad Firma}} 
  & 1 & 1,00 & aa & bb & cc  \\ \cline{2-6}
  & 2 & 1,00 & aa & bb & cc  \\ \cline{2-6}
  & $\vdots$ & 1,00 & aa & bb & cc \\ \cline{2-6}
  & $\rho^{\mathrm max}$ & 1,00 & aa & bb & cc  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}

The output:

This looks fine, except that

(1) \mathrm max should be \max and
(2) it is better to use

Code: Select all

\begin{table}
\centering
...
\end{table}

than

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
...
\end{center}

The first construction gives the correct vertical spacing around the table.

Thanks for the help, ill be more careful posting the code the next time. Thanks again mas and svend I really appreciate it.
