Tables - results

 Hi all,

I am facing a little problem that I hope it can be fixed easily. I am using tables through import fragment to report results. While I need the caption for tables numbers and titles,  I still have to add table notes below the tables themselves. I am not sure how to go about that,  I have already tried many ways and was not successful . I am also using sideways table and tabularx.

Could you please let me know how could I add notes to the tables?

 

Thank you in advance for your response.

Sara, I would try the

Sara,

I would try the threeparttable package by Donald Arseneau available at ctan. I ran a few examples of this package using straight LaTeX, including sideways tables; I think it will handle your needs. Ctan also contains documentation for the package and there is a very nice example of its use at www.tug.org/pracjourn/2007-2/asknelly/.

Tom

 Sara, You will need to use

 Sara,

You will need to use the graphicx package in your document. I was able to get a table to work in SWP using the following commands in a TeX field. The .8 scales the bable by a factor of .8; you can determine this scale factor.

\begin{table}[h]\centering

\scalebox{.8}{

            \begin{tabular}{lll}

        This is a very wide table. & This is a very wide table. & This is a very wide table. \\

        Wide table problems & Another cell & Final cell

        \end{tabular}

                   }

\end{table}

 Sara, Please download the

 Sara,

Please download the attached rap file and place it in a convenient working directory such as C:\swp55\Docs.  Then navigate to www.sitextools.com/swp/3parttable/threePartTable.html and watch the video.  The video will give you a basic idea of how the threeparttable style works. It will also show you how to add the style to your TrueTeX formatting system when you unwrap the file. You should look over the style documentation located at mirror.math.ku.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/threeparttable/threeparttable.pdf.

I hope this helps. Regards,

Tom

The file is correct, so how

The file is correct, so how you download it must be specific to your system.  I use Internet Explorer so I can right click on the link for tableNoteSWP.rap and then use "Save target as...".  The Save as type near the bottom of the dialog shows "Scientific WorkPlace Document (*.rap)" since I have SWP installed.  Using the Save button is then all that's needed.

If you are using a different browser you will have a slightly different interface.  You might be able to change to type of file to "All files" and then save correctly.  The .rap file is a plain text file so there shouldn't be any problem downloading and saving to your local hard disk.

Is it possible type math in the notes for the threepart table? When I try from within SWP environment I get errors.

 George, The second table set

 George,

The second table set up int the attached file redefines the description environment to tableitem and then restores it to the original definition. Using this technique, Sara can use the description list item tag to create her notes. (Your solution is better if users know enough latex code.) Does this seem like a reasonable solution to you?

 Hi again, I was just

 Hi again,

I was just wondering if there is anyway to fit a table into a printed page. I have a table with probably an extra column or two (sideways) that is not printing fully. While I tried to resize font to remedy the problem I still cant get those columns printed properly. Would there be any other way ? Thanks again  as usual

The example uses the rotating

The example uses the rotating package and replaces the table environment with the sidewaystable environment.  This solution does require that you compile for PDF since the TrueTeX Previewer does not support the rotating package.

Another possibility, if the tabular object is only slightly too large, is to add a LaTeX sizing command inside the [B] encapsulated TeX field used for floating tables.  The [B] encapsulated TeX field contains:

\begin{table}[tbp] \centering

Add one of the LaTeX font sizing commands to the end of the current contents.  The complete list of font sizing commands from smallest to largest is:

\tiny
\scriptsize
\footnotesize
\small
\normalsize
\large
\Large
\LARGE
\huge

Thank you for your feedback,

Thank you for your feedback, actually I did rotate and small size, scale font ... and what I was thinking about was scale down the whole table as if I have an 80% snapshot of the whole table, is this possible? Thanks a lot
