Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ The vertical line extends too much

[pemfir]

I am trying to create a table and the first verticle line is too long and extends outside of the range of the table a bit. How can i remove it ?

Code: Select all

\centering
\footnotesize
\caption{Sample of simulation runs and measured energy consumption.}
\begin{tabular}
{c|ccccc|c} \hline\hline
Run & & & Factors (predictors) & & & Response \\ \hline
 & A & B & C & D & E & Energy (Watts)\\ \hline
1 &(0) &	(0) &	(0) &	(0) & (0) & 120530\\ 
2 & (-1) &	(-1) &	(0) & (0) & (0) & 117570 \\ 
3 & (1) & (-1) & (0) & (0) & (0) & 121010 \\
\vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots & \vdots \\
\hline \\
\end{tabular}
\label{tb:ex1}
\end{table}[/latex]

Next time please post a full minimal working example, your current code snippet will not compile on its own, and even contains an incomplete environment (\end{table}, but no \begin{table}).

On topic, it's the \\ after your final \hline that causes latex to think there is a single cell on the last row, since there are no & marks the other vertical line is not extended as well.
