Circles around Numbers in Tables

Post by Barbarossa »

Hi folks,

this is my first post, I hope you can help me out.

I'm writing my thesis and I have a lot of tables. The tables are full of combinations of numbers and I want to circle some areas to highlight things.

This is how it looks currently:

matrix-box.png (33.65 KiB) Viewed 2437 times
And what I want is to draw cirlces around some of these combinations, like this:
matrix-box-circles.png
matrix-box-circles.png (45.02 KiB) Viewed 2437 times
Do you know how I can draw such circles?

Thanks for your help!


B.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

You could use TikZ for this. A similar example, which shows a way to do such things: Highlighting elements in matrices.
