Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ table

[ubuntu2014]

Hello.
I have made a table in LaTeX
Here is the code :

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{| l | c | c | r |}
  \hline
 &6&4& \\ \hline 2&8&1&7 \\ \hline &5&3& \\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

In this table I just want to omit the empty square boxes.
How do I do that ?
Please see the attachment.

You can do this using a tabular environment and a bit of trickery, but i somehow have the feeling that you might be better off with TikZ.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{| l | c | c | r |}
	\cline{2-3}
	\multicolumn{1}{c|}{}	&6&4&\multicolumn{1}{c}{}
	\\ \hline 2&8&1&7 \\ \hline
	\multicolumn{1}{c|}{}	&5&3&
	\multicolumn{1}{c}{}\\\cline{2-3}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Thankyou.
It works perfectly if I make a document but how to put this on codecogs.com ? Am I missing a trick or codecogs doesn't support LaTeX ?

As far as i can tell from a quick look, codecog is some kind of online LaTeX equation editor.

So, the question coming to my mind is: What do you want to do?

[ubuntu2014]

Actually, I want to put this code on that website, codecogs.com and then I want to download it in the form of a transparent image so that I can easily use it in other places.

Use the standalone class along with its conversion option. You need to have a converter instaled on your system, the default looking place is Image Magick, which is free software. Result is the attached png. More details on options of the conversion can be found in the documentations.

Code: Select all

    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{array}
    \begin{document}
    \begin{tabular}{| l | c | c | r |}
            \cline{2-3}
            \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}   &6&4&\multicolumn{1}{c}{}
            \\ \hline 2&8&1&7 \\ \hline
            \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}   &5&3&
            \multicolumn{1}{c}{}\\\cline{2-3}
    \end{tabular}
    \end{document}
