This can be done using the <tt>@</tt> <tt>col</tt> specifier and -breaking the number into the integral part in a right-justified column and -the fractional part in a left-justified column: -<pre> - The following input: will display as: - - <tt>\begin{tabular}{r@{.}l} - 3&14159\\ 3.14159 - 16&2\\ 16.2 - 123$456\\ \end{tabular} 123.456 </tt> -</pre> -Note that the decimal point is replaced by the column separator, <tt>&</tt> -and that the <tt>@</tt>suppresses the intercolumn space - -<h2>Another example: centering and controlling table width</h2> -LaTeX normally sets the width of the tabular environment to "natural" -width, i.e., determined from the contents of the columns. For narrow -tables it is sometimes more pleasing to make them wider. The -<tt>tabular*</tt> environments allows for setting a width; however, it -is necessary to have rubber space between colunmns that can expand to the -specified width. This can often be most easily accomplished by using -an <tt>\extracolsep{wdth}</tt> command in an @ specifier as shown in the -example below which sets the table width to 75% of the text width. -<p> -This example also centers the table. -<pre> - <tt><a href="ltx-29.html">\begin{center}</a> % put inside center environment - \begin{tabular*}{0.75<a href="textwidth.html">\textwidth</a>}% - {@{\extracolsep{<a href="ltx-238.html">\fill</a>}}cccr} - label 1 & label 2 & label 3 & label 4 \\ - <a href="ltx-239.html">\hline</a> % put a line under headers - item 1 & item 2 & item 3 & item 4 \\ - ... - \end{tabular*} - \end{center}</tt> -</pre> -<H2>See also</H2> -<ul> -<li><A href="ltx-214.html">\cline</A> -<li><A href="ltx-239.html">\hline</A> -<li><A href="ltx-268.html">\multicolumn</A> -<li><A href="ltx-346.html">\vline</A> -</ul> -<hr> -See also <a href="ltx-67.html">table environment</a>, - <a href="ltx-202.html">array environment</a>, - <a href="ltx-58.html">tabbing environment</a>.<br> -Return to <a href="ltx-2.html">LaTeX Table of Contents</a> -<hr> -<address> -Revised: Sheldon Green, 22 Jun 1995. -</address> -</body> -</html> |
