[Tex/LaTex] Fit table in page column also some editing

tablestabularxtwo-column

I want to make the table fit into one column in a two column page.

Also, I need it to look like this:

Here’s my code

Best Answer

The tabularx package is good to fit a tabular to a specified width. Here it’s the current \linewidth (→ Difference between \textwidth, \linewidth and \hsize).

I guessed that the two most left columns should be twice as wide as the other ones. According to this I have set \hsize. (The sum of all \hsize still have to be the number of X columns.)

I have also reduced the horizontal space between columns:

\setlength{\tabcolsep}{.3\tabcolsep}

With the \cline{2-10} you can specify a \hline that only goes from the second to the tenth column.

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

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.

[Tex/LaTex] Confine table to left column in two-column page

This MWE demonstrates that it IS possible to put a large table at the bottom of the current column. For tables larger than 0.8\textheight you will also need to reduce \textfraction (default is 0.2).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{latexsym}

\def\bottomfraction{.7}

\begin{document}
\twocolumn\sloppy
\begin{table}[b]
\rule{\columnwidth}{.69\textheight}
\end{table}

\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}
