I am curious if anyone has tried modifying the horizontal lines (e.g. \hline) in tabular environment to get a less severe contrast? Perhaps a grey line or dotted line?

How can I change the color of the lines (the frame) in a tabular environment? In the following MWE:  \begin{tabular}{c|c|c} a&amp;b&amp;c \\ \hline d&amp;e&amp;f \\ \hline g&amp;h&amp;i \end{tabular}   I would like the horizontal and vertical lines of the table to have, say a blue color.

Do you know a TeX editor where one can increase the line spacing/change the line spacing in preferences?  LibreOffice Writer could do the trick provided it did not prepend 0xfeff to files encoded in UTF-8, which prevents LaTeX engines from working.  I'm happy with VIm. It's just that I like writing prose in a double-spaced environment.

how to make some border lines of a table thick and colored (either vertical lines or horizental lines)?I tried Xcline but could not color it. Also I tried make the cline thick but failed.

I have produced this table in LaTeX:     \begin{table}[hbt]                     \begin{center}                         \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}                             \hline &amp; \multicolumn{3}{c|}{Examples}\\                             \cline{2-4}                             &amp; description &amp; $M$ &amp; \textbf{u}\\                             \hline translation &amp; through vector $\begin{pmatrix}6\\7\end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}                                 1 &amp; 0 \\ 0 &amp; 1                             \end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}6\\7\end{pmatrix}$\\                             \hline reflection &amp; in line $x=2$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}                             -1 &amp; 0 \\ 0 &amp; 1                             \end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}4\\0\end{pmatrix}$\\                             \hline rotation &amp; about \textbf{0} through $\pi$ radians &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}                             -1 &amp; 0 \\ 0 &amp; -1                             \end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\end{pmatrix}$\\                             \hline glide reflection &amp; in line $y=x$, then through $\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}                             0 &amp; 1 \\ 1 &amp; 0                             \end{pmatrix}$ &amp; $\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix}$\\                             \hline                             \end{tabular}                             \caption{Examples of Euclidean Transformations} \label{tab1}                     \end{center}                     \end{table}   How do I remove the two external lines from the top left empty corner cell? I want lines only around the other parts.  Also it looks a bit cramped, is there a way I can present it more nicely?

I haven't been able to find a solution, so I'm hoping for any suggestions.  When I try to change the font color in my table, I get extra spacing above and below the lines with the color-changed font.  Any way to work around this?   \begin{tabular}{&gt;{\raggedright}p{0.5cm}&gt;{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{9cm}} \ding{47}                &amp; Test 1 \\ {\color{new}{\ding{47}}} &amp; {\color{new}{Test 2}} \\ {\color{new}{\ding{47}}} &amp; {\color{new}{Test 3}}\\ {\color{new}{\ding{47}}} &amp; {\color{new}{Test 4}} \\ \ding{47}                &amp; Test 5\\ \end{tabular}\   An image of what's happening:

I've been trying to create an abstract pink background similar to this one:    I can't seem to find any tutorial on how to do it. How are those wavy looking lines created?  Thanks.

I'm trying to choose the positions of my tables but I can't figure out the difference between [H] and [h]. I've seen both advised over my search. If I use [h] the row spacing is different than [H] use.

I like the effect on the images used on this  page, and out of curiosity I'm trying to replicate it in Illustrator. It's not a simple multiply mask, and seems a more involved than the kind of duotone I can do in inDesign.

I've been seeing this distortion treatment popping up everywhere lately and was curious if anyone knew how or could point to some resources? I've tried a google search but can't find anything relevant. I've also tried the flag/wave effects in Illustrator but it looks like a cheap recreation.

What LaTeX markup would one have to write to produce a result similar to the image below?    Please excuse my Paint-and-mouse drawing skills. :-)

I would like to have a table that looks like the image below.  \documentclass{article} \begin{document}     \begin{table*}         \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline              &amp;\multicolumn{3}{c|}{A} &amp;\multicolumn{3}{c|}{B} \\ \cline{2-7}            1 &amp; a &amp; b &amp; c &amp; d &amp; e &amp; f \\ \hline           2 &amp; g &amp; h &amp; i &amp; j &amp; k &amp; l \\ \hline          \end{tabular}     \end{table*} \end{document}   However, I cannot obtain the table with an entire empty row, like the cold cache, written in its center. Is there some way to do so?    I also want the caption below the table.

I tried to use this for the last part of my table, but I can't get a vertical line at the end. Does anyone know?   \begin{tabular}{|CC|C|C|C|C|C|C|C|C|C|C|}\hline \Tab{Method Based on \\\hline       Radiography\\Magnetic Particle (A.C.)\\ \\Eddy Current\\Dye Penetrants\\ Ultrasonics} &amp; \Tab{ \\\hline \\ Wet \\ Dry \\ \\ \\ \\} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Minute Surface Cracks }~}  \\\hline       N\\ G\\F\\F\\F\\P}  &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Deeper Surface Cracks      }~}  \\\hline            F\\G\\G\\G\\G\\G} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Internal Cracks      }~}  \\\hline            F\\N\\N\\N\\N\\G} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Fatigue Cracks      }~}  \\\hline            P\\G\\G\\N\\G\\G} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Internal Voids      }~}  \\\hline            G\\N\\N\\N\\N\\G}           &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Porosity and Slag in Welds      }~}  \\\hline            G\\N\\N\\P\\N\\F}           &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Thickness      }~}  \\\hline            F\\N\\N\\P\\N\\G} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Stress Corrosion      }~}  \\\hline            F\\G\\F\\N\\G\\F} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Blistering      }~}  \\\hline            P\\N\\N\\N\\N\\F} &amp; \Tab{\rotatebox{90}{~\parbox{5cm}{Corrosion Pits      }~}  \\\hline            G\\N\\P\\N\\F\\P} \\\hline &amp; \multicolumn{11}{l}{G=Good;F=Fair;P=Poor;N=Not suitable.} \\ \hline \end{tabular} \label{tab:NDETechniques} \end{table}   It comes out like this:

I've been trying to create the 7 I'm used to writing by hand in LaTeX with a horizontal line through the middle. This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, but I don't see any native support for this. This is the look I am trying to get:

Do you think it would be worthwhile to provide hints as to what language to use for the syntax highlighting?  Sometimes I find the highlighting on SQL or VB.NET answers is more distracting than helpful; for example:       to pick the two I've been looking at recently.

How can certain programs set background and font colors, write characters to the same location on screen (e.g. to the third row, fifth column) more than once?  Some examples are the progress bar displayed by curl google.com &gt; a, some installation screens and nearly any text editor.

I was planning to do a 1920x1080 wallpaper from my favourite musician's cover. Everything was going good so far until I used correction brush which totally ruined my whole work. There are pixelated lines (how do I call these?!) everywhere! They're everywhere, it's very visible when zooming. Using Content-Aware Fill did nothing about it. I beg for help. Sorry if I did something wrong writing this post, i'm a beginner.

I am trying to produce a basic color table as shown below  \documentclass{article}  \usepackage{booktabs}  \usepackage[dvipsnames*,svgnames]{xcolor}  \usepackage{colortbl}  \usepackage{array}  \begin{document}  \begin{table} \centering \setlength{\aboverulesep}{0pt} \setlength{\belowrulesep}{0pt} \setlength{\extrarowheight}{.75ex} \begin{tabular}{|&gt;{\columncolor{LightSteelBlue}}c| c | c | c|} \toprule  \rowcolor{LightSteelBlue}  &amp; {Mann} &amp; {Kvinne} &amp; {Totalt} \\   \rowcolor{LightSteelBlue}  &amp;        &amp;          &amp;        \\ \midrule  \O nsker        &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\   Ballbinge       &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\ \midrule  \O nsker ikke   &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\   Ballbinge       &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\ \midrule  Totalt          &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\                   &amp;      &amp;        &amp;        \\   \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}   Now I wanted to center the text in the first row, and column, inside their boxes. My first thought was to use \multirows, alas this produces some very ugly results. The text is hidden behind the colors.  What is the proper way to create the table above, with centered text?  (Any other comments about how to improve the looks of the table are also welcome)
