[Tex/LaTex] How to represent this data as a table

tables

I am trying to put this in a table inside my LaTeX document. How can I get this? Ctrl–K does it here but not sure how to do it in LaTeX.

               Left      Right     Bottom        Top   Diagonal
Left      0.1303394  0.1084274  0.2158028  0.1050394 -0.2093420
Right     0.1084274  0.1632741  0.2841319  0.1299967 -0.2404701
Bottom    0.2158028  0.2841319  2.0868781  0.1645389 -1.0369962
Top       0.1050394  0.1299967  0.1645389  0.6447234 -0.5496148
Diagonal -0.2093420 -0.2404701 -1.0369962 -0.5496148  1.3277163

I would use the siunitx package for its ability to align numbers on their decimal points and display minus signs correctly and the booktabs package for its ability to draw well-spaced horizontal rules.

I would also examine the rationale for show seven [7!] digits for all numbers. Rounding to four digits after the decimal marker should really be more than enough, right? Happily, the siunitx package can perform automatic rounding, as is demonstrated in the second table below.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{siunitx,booktabs}
\sisetup{group-digits=false}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{This is my table}
\begin{tabular}{@{} l *{5}{S[table-format=-1.7]} @{}} 
\toprule
& {Left} & {Right} & {Bottom} & {Top} & {Diagonal}\\ % center-set header entries
\midrule
Left    &  0.1303394  & 0.1084274 &  0.2158028 &  0.1050394 & -0.2093420\\
Right   &  0.1084274  & 0.1632741 &  0.2841319 &  0.1299967 & -0.2404701\\
Bottom  &  0.2158028  & 0.2841319 &  2.0868781 &  0.1645389 & -1.0369962\\
Top     &  0.1050394  & 0.1299967 &  0.1645389 &  0.6447234 & -0.5496148\\
Diagonal& -0.2093420  &-0.2404701 & -1.0369962 & -0.5496148 &  1.3277163\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\sisetup{round-mode=places,round-precision=4} % switch on rounding
\caption{This is my table, this time with rounded numbers}
\begin{tabular}{@{} l *{5}{S[table-format=-1.4]} @{}} 
\toprule
& {Left} & {Right} & {Bottom} & {Top} & {Diagonal}\\ % center-set header entries
\midrule
Left    &  0.1303394  & 0.1084274 &  0.2158028 &  0.1050394 & -0.2093420\\
Right   &  0.1084274  & 0.1632741 &  0.2841319 &  0.1299967 & -0.2404701\\
Bottom  &  0.2158028  & 0.2841319 &  2.0868781 &  0.1645389 & -1.0369962\\

[Tex/LaTex] Slashbox with tables: Adjusting the diagonal separator for multiple rows

To get a cell spanning several rows, you can use the multirow package. \backslashbox works well with this within its implemantion limits - the slash is constructed as a LaTeX picture, and so there are only a limited number of slopes for the line allowed.

Sample output

\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\usepackage{slashbox,multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}[htp]{||l|c|c|c|c||}
\hline
\multirow{4}{*}{\backslashbox{Adult\\\strut person}{\strut Motion\\ types}}
& can definitely & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{can definitely } & can definitely\\
& walk & \multicolumn{2}{c|}{jump} & run\\
\cline {3-4} & & more than & more than & \\
& & 10 cm & 20 cm &\\
\hline \hline
Joe & Yes & No & No & No \\
Margaret & Yes & Yes & Yes & Yes \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

\end{document}

A more sophisticated solution with, more flexible choices of slash line, would use something like tikz, see Diagonal lines in table cell for some such approaches, but would still require such a \multirow command.

[Tex/LaTex] How to create a multirow latex table with line on main diagonal

I don't know why if you use height=... option of \diagbox the text of the following multiline cell is shifted down, but you can work around it adding a \vspace{-...} to bring it up again.

However, I suggest to you to redesign your table with no vertical rules, no diagonal boxes, and em-dashes as text of the cells on the diagonal.

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{diagbox}

\begin{document}
\noindent With a little workaround:
\begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{p{\textwidth*1/7}*{3}{|p{\textwidth*1/7}}}
        \diagbox[innerwidth=\textwidth*1/7]{from}{to} & item1 & item2 & item3 \\\hline
        item1 & \diagbox[innerwidth=\textwidth*1/7,height=7\line]{~}{~} & \vspace{-9ex}--- this --- is --- a --- very --- long --- multirow --- text --- & \\\hline
        item2 & & \diagbox[innerwidth=\textwidth*1/7]{~}{~} &   \\\hline
        item3 & & & \diagbox[innerwidth=\textwidth*1/7]{~}{~}
    \end{tabular}   
\end{center}
\noindent But I suggest to you to use something like this:
\begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{*{4}{p{\textwidth*1/7}}}
        \toprule
        & \multicolumn{3}{c}{To:}\\
        \cmidrule{2-4}
        From: & item1 & item2 & item3 \\
        \midrule
        item1 & \textemdash & --- this --- is --- a --- very --- long --- multirow --- text --- & \\
        item2 & & \textemdash & \\
        item3 & & & \textemdash \\
        \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}
