Tables
Tables are created using the tabular
environment. If you want a caption, the
figure equivalent for tables is the table
environment. You can use a \caption
within it.
After the \begin{tabular}
you need to specify the columns. The example has
two centered columns (c
), followed by one with a fixed width, p{2cm}
.
You separate rows by using \\
(the newline command) and columns within a row
are separated using the &
-character. The \toprule
, \midrule
and \bottomrule
yield the horizontal rules. The \cmidrule
is just like \midrule
, but
only spans the columns indicated. Finally, there is the
\multicolumn
: multiple cells within the same row are merged together.Required: \usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{c c p{2cm}}
\toprule
Getal 1 & Getal 2 & Notitie\\
\cmidrule(lr){1-2}\cmidrule(lr){3-3}
88 & 94 & Twee grote getallen\\
89 & 12 & Een grote en een kleintje\\
96 & 18 & Weer zo\\
32 & 98 & Iets minder schreef\\
\midrule
\multicolumn{2}{c}{527} & Totale som\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{Een tabel!}
\end{table}
Sometimes you need a fixed width for your table. You can use tabularx
from the
package \usepackage{tabularx}
. The difference is the column
specifiers are preceded by a different argument: the table width.
Next, you can use, like in the example, column type X
; the columns will be
stretched equally until the table has the appropriate width.
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering
\begin{tabularx}{0.7\textwidth}{X X}
\toprule
Formule & Beschrijving\\
\midrule
$ \sqrt{2} $ & Wortel\\
$ \frac{2}{3} $ & Breuk\\
$ 6\geq 3 $ & Symbool\\
$ a^2 + b^2 $ & Superscript\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabularx}
