colortbltables
I'm trying to make a table with the following code:
\begin{tabular}{@{}ccc@{}}
\hline
\rowcolor[gray]{.9} a & b & c \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Unfortunately the \rowcolor command seems to not care about the empty leading and ending spaces in the table, i.e. the @{}'s in the tabular 'preamble'.
Any suggestions to overcome this issue are most welcome.
Using David's suggestion, I used
\let\oldtabular\tabular
\let\oldendtabular\endtabular
\def\tabular{\setlength{\lineskiplimit}{0pt}\oldtabular}
\def\endtabular{\oldendtabular\setlength{\lineskiplimit}{-10pt}}
which more or less seems to fix the problem. If anyone has a more elegant/better solution, please let me know!
One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.
%Dokumentclass
\documentclass[landscape]{letter}
%Packages
\usepackage[landscape]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8] {inputenc}
\usepackage {multirow}
\usepackage {tabu}
%Formatting
\pagestyle{empty} %Remove numbering
\begin{document}
\begin{tabu}{ |[1pt] l | l l | l | l |[1pt] }
\tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}
\multicolumn{2}{ |[1pt] l }{ } & \multicolumn{3}{ |[1pt] l |[1pt]}{ } \\ \hline
& & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & \multicolumn{2}{ l |[1pt] }{ } \\ \hline
y & & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & \multicolumn{2}{ l |[1pt] }{ } \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}
\hline
x & & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & & \\ \hline
& & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & & \\ \hline
& & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & & \\ \hline
& & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l | }{ } & & \\ \tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}
\end{tabu}
\end{document}
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.
