Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to create tilted dots in a LaTeX matrix, specifically focusing on the representation of vertical and diagonal dots within the matrix structure. The context is primarily homework-related, as participants seek to understand the appropriate LaTeX commands for these visual elements.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses uncertainty about how to include vertical and tilted dots in a LaTeX matrix.
  • Another participant suggests using \cdots for horizontal dots, \vdots for vertical dots, and \ddots for diagonal dots as potential solutions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the LaTeX commands for representing different types of dots, but the initial participant's specific need for tilted dots remains unaddressed.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve how to specifically create dots tilted at 45 degrees, as the provided commands do not address this requirement directly.

First off, don't know if this is the right section.

I've been given some homework where I should define operations of matrixes in LaTeX.

My problem is that I don't know how to do vertical dots (nor tilted to 45degrees) in the matrix.

A= \begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} & ... & a_{1n} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & ... & a_{2n} \\
... & ... & & ... \\
a_{m1} & a_{m2} & ... & a_{mn}
\end{pmatrix}

the red dots must be tilted like this:

Thank you!

use \cdots for horizontal dots, \vdots for vertical dots and \ddots for diagonal dots.
