I would like to typeset a table with a multicolumn heading only.
Here is my current attempt
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pgfplotstable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\begin{document}
\pgfplotstabletypeset[col sep=&, header=false,
every head row/.style={
before row={%
\toprule
Facteurs & \multicolumn{5}{c}{Niveaux}\\
}},
every last row/.style={
after row=\bottomrule},
display columns/0/.style={string type}
]
{%
\pgfutilensuremath{\chi} & 8 & 11 & 14 & &
5 & 8 & 11 & 14 & 45 & 2.456
q & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 3
x & 8 & 11 & 14 & 5612345 & 4
b & 8 & 11 & 14 & & 5
}
\end{document}
which gives the following result:
How can I remove the headings row circled in red in the picture?
Best Answer
Starting with version 1.6 of PGFPlots (I think), a new key
output empty row
has become available that suppresses printing of a row. This can be used in your style:If you're using an earlier version and can't / don't want to update, here's a slightly brutish workaround. You can add the code
in your preamble, which makes a style
omit header row
available. If you use that key in\pgfplotstable
, the output routine for each table cell will be amended with a check whether we're in row number-1
(the header row), and if we are, no output is generated.
