Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Highlight Line of Tables

[joshua_smith_158]

Hi all,

In order to highlight the results in a Lyx Table I need to put a red box around a table column. Any idea on how to do so?

I tried \colortbl, \boxed but didn't work.

Thanks!

Hi Joshua,

have a look at this example: Highlighting in a formula.

That method also works with tabular instead of matrix or array.

Stephen, thanks a lot! This is awesome. Since I use Lyx (Beamer in Lyx more specifically) and not Latex, I put

Code: Select all

\usepackage{amsmath} 
\usepackage{tikz} 
\usetikzlibrary{fit} 

in the preamble. So, I need to put

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\overlay}[2][]{\tikz[overlay, remember picture, #1]{#2}} \tikzset{ highlighted/.style = { draw, thick, rectangle, rounded corners, inner sep = 0pt, fill = red!15, fill opacity = 0.5 } } \newcommand{\highlight}[1]{% \overlay{ \node [fit = (left.north west) (right.south east), highlighted] (#1) {}; } } \newcommand{\flag}[2]{\overlay[baseline=(#1.base)] {\node (#1) {$#2$};}} 
just before the table?

I tried but I got an error message.

Thanks a lot again!

Hi Joshua!

Sorry I'm traveling without Internet (test voyage of an unfinished cruise ship) so I could not answer.

I tried but I got an error message.

Please tell us the error message.

Generally it would be good if you would post the code you tried as .lyx attachment in the forum, and even better as LaTeX export. (reduced copy, but compilable or bringing the error)
