[Tex/LaTex] Bold horizontal and vertical lines in tables

boldtables

I want to be able to make certain horizontal lines and certain vertical lines bold in my table but not all.

\begin{table}[h] 
\begin{center} 
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} 
\hline
$x$&100&10 000&$1$x$10^5$&$1$x$10^6$&$1$x$10^7$&$1$x$10^9$\\
\hline
$f(x)$&0,1&0,0001&$1$x$10^-5$&$1$x$10^-6$&$1$x$10^-7$&$1$x$10^-9$\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

I am looking for a box border, center line not bold. First 3 vertical lines and last to be bold.

Thanks for the help

You can also have the border thicker if you supress the outer vlines and hlines, and replace them with an \fbox with no fboxsep. I added the vertical alignment of numbers in scientific notation thanks to the numprint package and its n/N column types, some more vertical spacing in cells with the cellspace package — and some colors…

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{cellspace}
\setlength\cellspacetoplimit{8pt}
\setlength\cellspacebottomlimit{8pt}
\usepackage[autolanguage, np]{numprint}
\usepackage[svgnames, x11names, tables]{xcolor}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[h]
\centering\setlength\fboxsep{0pt}\setlength\fboxrule{1.5pt}
\fcolorbox{LightSteelBlue3}{White}%
{\begin{tabular}{r!{\color{Salmon1}\vrule width1.2 pt}Sc|c|*{3}{n{1}{1}|}n{1}{1}}%{r@{\hskip\tabcolsep\vrule width1 pt\hskip\tabcolsep}Sl|c|c|c|c|c}%
$x$ & 100 & 10 000 &  \np{1e5} &  \np{1e6} &  \np{1e7} & \np{1e9}\\
\hline
$f(x)$ & 0,1  & 0,0001 &  \np{1e-5} & \np{1e-6} & \np{1e-7} & \np{1e-9}
\end{tabular}}
\end{table}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Booktabs and longtable – strange spaces between lines

I think I finally found a solution for making booktabs and hrules work so that is why I make an answer to my own question I created my own command

\newcommand{\mytoprule}{\specialrule{2pt}{0em}{0em}}
\newcommand{\mybottomrule}{\specialrule{2pt}{0em}{0em}}

and now everyting looks fine.

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

\hline

    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\ \tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.
