\cellcolor covers vertical lines

  • Follow


I have a table with colored cells.  They cover the vertical lines
within the cells.  See code below.
If there was not a difference in the spacing between the cells and the
coloring, I would not see any of the vertical lines.  I am not sure
what to do.

Ideas?

First refer to colortbl documentation.
Second it's David Carlisle's job: and David does not like colors !
                        => fully buggy !

\columncolor{color}[left overhang]
		   [right overhang]

overhang is in place of \tabcolsep. Very usefull ! That is if you change
\tabcolsep, you have to change the overhangs parameters !!

\tabcolsep=6pt so here we put overhang=5pt to reduce the area by 1pt.
In tabu package we will say [-1pt] ;-) ie \tabcolsep -1pt !

\tabularnewline is unreadable: use \\ and \arraybackslash

\newcolumntype M[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash
                       \columncolor{background}[5pt][5pt]%
                        \noindent\color{foreground}} m{#1mm}}
Well: if you want to change the color just say :
    \xglobal\colorlet{foreground}{....}
    \xglobal\colorlet{background}{....}

Then the preamble collaspes into:

\begin{tabular}{>{\columncolor{DarkBlue}\noindent\color{white}}M{30}
                                                             *5{M{25} |}}

And colortbl is buggy (see the example)
And \hhline is crap ! |  does not follow \arrayrulewidth for example
And \cellcolor does not provide the overhang parameters !

With tabu this is :

\tabusetup* {reset,linesep=0pt,everyrow=\noalign{\vskip1mm},
             overhang=-1pt }

\begin{tabu} { X [ ^white _DodgerBlue] | *5X[ .9 l LightGrey ] }
\rowfont{\cellcolor{ ^DodgerBlue _white }}
\blankcell  &\multicolumn5c{\Large \bfseries
                             Clean Energy Technologies and Components}
\\ \tabucline{2-}\noalign{\vskip1mm}
\rowfont{\cellcolor {^white _blue }}\blankcell
                               &Solar Cells &Wind Turbines 
&\multicolumn2c{Vehicles} &Lighting
\\
MATERIAL \rowfont{\cellcolor{ ^DarkBlue _white }  }
                               &PV films    &Magnets       &Magnets 
              &Batteries &Phosphors
\\
\cellcolor{blue} Cerium   & & &  & &          \\
Indium                    &  & & & &          \\
Gallium                   &  & & & &
\\ \hline
\end{tabu}

But I have to finish the implementation ;-)


With tabular, a possible solution with your beloved \hhline ;-)

\newcolumntype 
M[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash\columncolor{background}[5pt][5pt]\noindent\color{foreground}}

\colorlet{background}{white}
\colorlet{foreground}{black}
\noindent
\begin{tabular} { >{\columncolor{DarkBlue}\noindent\color{white}} M{30} 
  *5{M{25} |} }
\cellcolor{white}                 & \multicolumn5c{\Large 
\bfseries{\color{DodgerBlue} Clean Energy Technologies and Components}} \\
\xglobal\colorlet{background}{blue}
\xglobal\colorlet{foreground}{white}

\end{tabular}

Thanks,  The second one works great for me.
