Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tables, graphs

[ditka]

Hi.

I have some questions

How can I change width of table:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{|c| c |c|}
\hline
a & b & c \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

(So it looks like this, just that colums are wider.)

Than I woud like to ask how can I create following tables:

1) horizontal table with underline symbols,centered to each colum

2) horizontal table with symbols left of the colum

3) Horizontal table with underline centered text
(what ever I try, I always get some other thing, not what I want)


And last,how can I draw graphs(which packages I need), in latex?
That look like this,or are two dimensional
(http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/ ... fall-2010/).

Tanx for answers.

For the first one, try using the tabular* environment instead of tabular. You can also define more paragraph-like column styles with the array package.

The second part is probably best done with TikZ, which is a vector graphics front-end for LaTeX.

Please do not mix several topics in one thread. For the graphics issue please open a new topic (and give it a meaningful title).


Best regards and welcome to the board

With tables I tried this and I get picture in the attached file.

1)

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[ht]
    \begin{tabular}{|l|c|l|l|l|l|}
        \hline
        ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ \\ \hline
       \multicolumn{1}{r}{a}  & \multicolumn{1}{r}{b}  & \multicolumn{1}{r}{c}  & \multicolumn{1}{r}{d}  & \multicolumn{1}{r}{e}  & \multicolumn{1}{r}{f}  \\
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}\\

2)

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{ l |c| }
\cline{2-2} a &  \\
\cline{2-2} b &   \\
\cline{2-2} c &   \\
\cline{2-2} d &  \\
\cline{2-2} e &   \\
\cline{2-2} f &   \\
\cline{2-2}
\end{tabular}\\

3)

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[ht]
    \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
        \hline
        ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ & ~ \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}\\

Can you please tell me how can I creae text under last table(where is arrow) and how can I change width of colums?

Since the objects in your (first) attachment are not really tables, I would choose a graphical approach by the pgf/tikZ package.

1. Code: Select all

   \documentclass[11pt]{article}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage{tikz}
   \usetikzlibrary{matrix}
   
   \begin{document}
     \begin{tikzpicture}
       \matrix (matrix) [
         matrix of nodes,
         nodes in empty cells,
         nodes={anchor=base,minimum size=2em}
       ] {
         |[draw]| & |[draw]| & |[draw]| & |[draw]| & |[draw]| \\
         a & b & c & d & e \\
       };
     \end{tikzpicture}
   \end{document}

2. Code: Select all

   \documentclass[11pt]{article}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage{tikz}
   \usetikzlibrary{matrix}
   
   \begin{document}
     \begin{tikzpicture}
       \matrix (matrix) [
         matrix of nodes,
         nodes in empty cells,
         nodes={anchor=center,minimum size=2em},
         row sep=0em
       ] {
         a & |[draw]| \\
         b & |[draw]| \\
         c & |[draw]| \\
         d & |[draw]| \\
       };
     \end{tikzpicture}
   \end{document}

3. Code: Select all

   \documentclass[11pt]{article}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage{tikz}
   \usetikzlibrary{matrix}
   
   \begin{document}
     \begin{tikzpicture}
       \matrix (matrix) [
         matrix of nodes,
         nodes in empty cells,
         nodes={anchor=center,draw,minimum size=2em},
       ] {
         & & & & & & & \\
       };
       \node[anchor=north] at (matrix.south) {Text};
     \end{tikzpicture}
   \end{document}

I get the following answer:

[localghost]

Your TeX system needs an update.

[ditka]

How can I do that?(I click on check for updates, and it is still the same)?

[localghost]

I can't tell you for PCTeX. But there should be a documentation which can.

[ditka]

Which documentation? I did not find anything.
