How do I put units below parameter names in LaTeX tables?

[leviathanX777]

Hello,

I'm just wondering is it possible to put the units of a parameter underneath it rather than next to it. My table is pretty long and I could free up space if I could do this.

For example, let's say I have Velocity (m/s)

I want it to have (m/s) below velocity

I can't figure out how to do this in a table!

I'm by no means an expert, but I'm pretty sure you would have to specify text wrapping on each column when you introduce the table.

Someone please correct me if there is a simpler method.

if you add another row to the table, I think you can turn off the lines between and you should get something close to what you want.

Either don't put an \hline between two rows as suggested or use the \multirow command found in the multicol package. Also, if you specify the width (p{*}, * is the width in some unit), $\LaTeX{}$ will automatically wrap text in a table.

I tried, here's the code but no luck!

\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\small
\begin{tabular}{rrrrr}
\toprule
Fabricated & RMS BG (nm) & RMS Flake (nm) & E Mobility (cm$^2$/V.s) & H Mobility (cm$^2$/V.s) \\
\midrule
C2 (small) & 0.683 & 0.316 & 64.1 & 64.4 \\
C2 (big) & 0.984 & 0.565 & & \\
C8 & 0.287 & 1.057 & 171 & 165 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}%
\label{tab:addlabel}%
\centering
\caption{Roughness and mobility values of GFEDs as fabricated}
\end{table}%

Also something really annoying has happened now... some of my images don't appear till the end of the document even though there's room for the images where I set them to and using [h!] doesn't put them where I inserted them... gah!

For the moving images, use the float package and the H option to fix their locations.

For the table, try something like:

\begin{table}[htbp] 
  \centering 
\small 
 \begin{tabular}{rrrrr} 
    \toprule 
    Fabricated & RMS BG & RMS Flake & E Mobility & H Mobility \\ 
                   & (nm) & (nm) & (cm$^2$/V.s) & (cm$^2$/V.s) \\
    \midrule 
    C2 (small) & 0.683 & 0.316 & 64.1  & 64.4 \\ 
    C2 (big) & 0.984 & 0.565 &       &  \\ 
    C8    & 0.287 & 1.057 & 171   & 165 \\ 
    \bottomrule 
    \end{tabular}% 
  \label{tab:addlabel}% 
\centering   
\caption{Roughness and mobility values of GFEDs as fabricated} 
\end{table}
