Creating Tables and Schemes in LaTeX

In summary, the conversation is about making a table in LaTeX and the person asking for help is directed to a guide that explains how to make tables. An example of a table is also provided and the person is advised to use a LaTeX editor to generate tables easily. The conversation also includes a request for adding more horizontal lines to the table and the use of "\hline" is suggested as a solution.

Hi I am in a rather hurry so a quick reply would be most appreciated.

I have to make a table in which I put all the result that I have calculated, I just do not know how to make a such thing in LaTeX. I would like a table as in Word I just do not know how to make it in LaTeX!

I have tried that loads of times and it has never helped me so I would most appreciate if one of you would help me!

What, precisely, are you unable to understand? The index of that guide tells you that everything you need to know about tables are on pages 42-44. Use a tabular environment, specify the alignment you want, use & to break up column entries, double backslash for new line and so on.

Honestly, everything you need is there. If you can't understand that guide, nobody here will be of much help to you.

I have now tried for so long and I am still unable to make it work.

But please try to write a nice and big table which I can just paste into my tex document that might help.

Page 42 in 'the not so short introduction' is what you need. It is not at all difficult to make simple tables, try some of the examples there. If you cannot do that, start at page one and read on to page 7 and try to compile the minimal examples.

You might also want to try http://www.tug.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/xl2latex.html
there is an open office version somewhere around as well.

An example:

Nice! A really nice scheme but how to add some more horizontal lines which can separate the diffrent things better.

And how come it is in Danish?

I just copy/pasted from an old report, that's why it is in danish.

To add more horizontal lines add "\midrule" between the lines in the table (if you complile the example i gave you, it should not be so difficult to see).
 
  • #9
What program are you using to write your report in Latex? Most Latex editors come with a button that generates table for you.

If you are on Windows, check Texniccenter. If you are on *nix, check either Kile (If you're on KDE) and Texmaker (what I use).

And to make a horizontal line, you can also use "\hline"

Well I am using TeXnic center in windows 2000 and there is a table button but that does not help me alot. I try to make a table and then every time I just get loads of erorrs, so there must be anything that I have not understood. But what troubles me a bit is that you guys think that making table is piece of cake, whereas I simply do not get it, am I a total n00b or what?

to make small tables is easy -- larger, more complicated ones can be tricky to type out (i always only used emacs+auctex to write tex so i do not know how to do it in texnic center), and that is where the plugin to excel ot calc comes in. with them you can convert an table made in on of those programs to latex code that you just paste into your source file.
It is also not difficult to see examples, there is surely some in the link in shoehorn's post, and a quick google search findes many more. For examples se

Thank you for that?

But where can I get that excel converter?

The link to it is in post #6 above. It workes for higher versions of excel too. I get a runtime error in excel 2002, but it still works.

Does anyone know of a toturial on how to make schemes in LaTeX.

Do take a look at paragraph 2.11.6 in http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf

Besides that, i made a tex document with a bunch of tables and tabulars. they are not all pretty, and some text is in danish. But if you compile it, and watch the output together with the input then you can properly use it to figure out how to make your own.

Code: 
\documentclass[article,oldfontcommands]{memoir}
\usepackage{amsmath} %needed for \boldsymbol etc.
\usepackage{array} %needed for m{1.5cm} etc.
\usepackage[collision]{chemsym} %needed for $\C_6\H_5\Br$ etc.

Schemes in LaTeX

Hi,

Does anyone know how to insert a scheme in latex? I am using the same commands as figures, but it doesn't work!

do i need a special package for that?

I would be most grateful for your help :)

how can i add schemes as well as figures?
I also don't wish to have refernces for each figures to appear in table of content.

please help!

I have to re-submit my first year report (PhD) soon

many thanks

1. What is a table in LaTeX?

A table in LaTeX is a tool for organizing and presenting data in a structured format. It consists of rows and columns, with content placed in cells at the intersection of the rows and columns. Tables can be used for a variety of purposes, such as displaying numerical data, creating charts and diagrams, and organizing information in a visually appealing way.

2. How do I create a table in LaTeX?

To create a table in LaTeX, you can use the \begin{tabular} and \end{tabular} commands. Within this environment, you can specify the number of columns and their alignment, as well as the content of each cell. You can also use packages such as \usepackage{array} or \usepackage{tabularx} to have more control over the appearance and functionality of your table.

3. What is a scheme in LaTeX?

A scheme in LaTeX is a visual representation of a mathematical or logical concept. It is often used to explain complex ideas or equations using diagrams, graphs, or other visual elements. Schemes can be created using various packages such as \usepackage{tikz} or \usepackage{pgfplots}, which provide a wide range of customizable options.

4. How do I include a table or scheme in my LaTeX document?

To include a table or scheme in your LaTeX document, you can use the \includegraphics command to insert an image of your table or scheme. You can also use the \input command to import a separate LaTeX file containing your table or scheme. Alternatively, you can use the \begin{table} and \end{table} or \begin{scheme} and \end{scheme} environments to directly include the table or scheme within your document.

5. Can I customize the appearance of tables and schemes in LaTeX?

Yes, you can customize the appearance of tables and schemes in LaTeX using various commands and packages. For tables, you can adjust the alignment, spacing, and borders of your cells, as well as add headers and captions. For schemes, you can change the color, size, and style of your elements, as well as add labels and annotations. You can also use packages such as \usepackage{booktabs} or \usepackage{tcolorbox} for more advanced formatting options.
