[Tex/LaTex] Is it possible to use \cline multiple times when using multirow

multicolumnmultirowrulestables

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{3-8}
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{}}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Singular}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Plural}\\\cline{3-8}
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{}&Neuter&Masculine&Feminine&Masculine&Feminine&Neuter\\\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{I}}&Inclusive&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\cline{2-8}
&Exclusive&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{II}&Informal&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{X}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\cline{2-8}
&Formal&\multicolumn{6}{|c|}{X}\\\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{III}&Informal&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}&X&X&\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{X}&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}\\\cline{2-8}
&Formal&&\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{X}&\\\hline

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\label{tab:multicol}
\end{table}

\end{document}

I am using multiple instantiations of \multicolumn and \multirow, and I was wondering if it were possible to use a discontinuous \cline so as not to strike though the O's in the code above. Any tips?

Best Answer

Yes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}% http://ctan.org/pkg/hhline
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{3-8}
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{}}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Singular}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{Plural}\\\cline{3-8}
\multicolumn{2}{c|}{}&Neuter&Masculine&Feminine&Masculine&Feminine&Neuter\\\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{I}}&Inclusive&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\cline{2-2}\cline{6-8}
&Exclusive&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{II}&Informal&\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{X}&\multicolumn{3}{c|}{X}\\\cline{2-8}
&Formal&\multicolumn{6}{|c|}{X}\\\hline
\multirow{2}{*}{III}&Informal&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}&X&X&\multicolumn{2}{|c|}{X}&\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{O}}\\\cline{2-2}\cline{4-7}
&Formal&&\multicolumn{4}{|c|}{X}&\\\hline

\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

For example, I've used \cline{2-2}\cline{6-8} for a horizontal rule from column 2 to column 2, followed by a break (no line from 3-5) and another horizontal rule from 6 to 8.

Another option for this kind of rule manipulation is provided by hhline.

I suppose, this is what you meant.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{mwe}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tabular}{|p{.03\textwidth}|p{.73\textwidth}|p{.03\textwidth}|p{.15\textwidth}|}
          Test1 & Test2 & Test3 & 
    \multicolumn{1}{m{\linewidth}}{\multirow{6}{*}{\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{example-image}}% End of multirow
          }% End of multicolumn
      \\ % End of the first row 
       Line2  & & &\\
       Line3  & & & \\
       Line4  & & & \\
       Line5  & & & \\
       Line6  & & & \\
        \end{tabular}
\end{document}

Another version with vertical centered content, which uses the makecell package and the \multirowcell command, which allows for a vertical shift of the content in the tabular cell (First optional parameter of \multirowcell), which is set to -2pt by me since I have the impression, this aligns correctly, however, it has to be revised if the size/scaling of the image changes. It is a 'hack' as well, but perhaps it is better than adding extra rows.

 \documentclass{article}

    \usepackage{multirow,makecell}
    \usepackage{array}
    \usepackage{mwe}

    \begin{document}
        \begin{tabular}{|p{.1\textwidth}|p{.2\textwidth}|p{.1\textwidth}|p{.15  \textwidth}|}
          \hline
          Test1 & Test2 & Test3 & 
           \multirowcell{6}[-2pt]{\includegraphics[scale=0.1]{example-image}%
           }% End of multirowcell
          \\
           Line2  & & & \\
           Line3  & & & \\
           Line4  & & & \\
           Line5  & & & \\
           Line6  & & & \\
        \hline
        \end{tabular}

    \end{document}

I added the \hline in order to check to the alignment and reduced the width of columns. Please roll back as you desire.

By the way, the \multirow command allows also a vertical shifting, but I have not tried that so far.

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.
