I am using this template for making tables. I tried to add \rowcolor[gray]{.8}
between \toprule
s and \midrule
s but the the effect is bad in the sense that it highlight on 3/4 of the row leaving the edges white.
Any solution?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{colortbl, xcolor}
\usepackage{booktabs,caption,fixltx2e}
\usepackage[flushleft]{threeparttable}
\begin{document}
\definecolor{lightgray}{rgb}{.9,.9,.9}
\begin{table}
\begin{threeparttable}
\caption{Sample ANOVA table}
\begin{tabular}{lllll}
\toprule
Stubhead & \( df \) & \( f \) & \( \eta \) & \( p \) \\
\midrule
Row 1 & 1 & 0.67 & 0.55 & 0.41 \\
Row 2 & 2 & 0.02 & 0.01 & 0.39 \\
Row 3 & 3 & 0.15 & 0.33 & 0.34 \\
Row 4 & 4 & 1.00 & 0.76 & 0.54 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\begin{tablenotes}
\small
\item This is where authors provide additional information about
the data, including whatever notes are needed.
\end{tablenotes}
\end{threeparttable}
\end{table}
\end{document}

I think the problem comes from
booktabs
, which adds some vertical space above and below its rules. This vertical space seems not to be considered as part of the row cells, and hence is not coloured.A workaround consists in using the
cellspace
package, which defines a minimal vertical vertical space between the top of a row and the above\hline
and symmetrically a minimal vertical space between the bottom of a row and the below\hline
. This has more or less the same effect as\addlinespace
from booktabs, but is taken into consideration when colouring the cells.Another feature of booktabs, namely horizontal rules of different thicknesses, can be achieved with the
makecell
package, which has an\Xhline{thickness}
command. So I defined a\thickhline
command, that has the same thickness as the default for\top/\bottomrule
s in booktabs (0.08em).Here is a code:
