### equal column width matrix?

• Email
• Follow

My supervisor would like his matrices to have equal column
width.   That means that a 0 entry would be centred in
enough blank space to make the column width as wide as
the widest entry in the matrix.   This can probably be
hacked by measuring the widest entry and having the
other entries centred in a hbox that wide.  But is there
a more elegant and automatic way to do this?

I forgot to mention that we are using the array
environment in LaTeX.

You can try the tabu package as in:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[delarray]{tabu}

\begin{document}\makeatletter
{

$\begin{tabu}spread 1in|{*4{X[$c]}}|
\alpha & \beta & \gamma & \delta \\
\sum_i \frac{a_i}{x_i} & 0 & \cdot & \cdot \\
\end{tabu}$} \end{document}\endinput But it still under development... It's not possible to give standard l, c, r columns a specific width, instead, embed your math content into a paragraph column >{$}m{width}<{$} This is what tabu does, measuring the widths to make them equal: "X[$c]" replaces
">{\centering\arraybackslash}}>{$}p{some dimen}<{$}"

Equal column widths in array environment
Hi all, Is there an *easy* (logical?) way of obtaining equal column widths in an array environment? This problem has been solved in a tabular environment, and there are numerous solutions. I'm looking for a solution in the following by any way of the following, if possible: [1] defining a new column type (that works in math mode) for columns that should be the same width (like p{..} for tabular); or [2] defining a new environment altogether, similar to array that works in math mode The above may be achieved either if the largest column width is known, or better, if it is not.

Treectrl
Hi all, I am using treectrl v2.1 to display a table of data. Is it possible to configure the table so that the columns all end up the same width? If I resize the window, I would like the extra space to be assigned equally amongst the columns so that they still remain of equal width. Is this possible? thanks, dan. > I am using treectrl v2.1 to display a table of data. Is it possible to > configure the table so that the columns all end up the same width?

tabular, columns centered with equal width
Hi there, I've got a little problem formatting tabulars. I want to use a tabular, say: \begin {tabular} {|c|c|c|} \hline 1& 2& 345 \\ \hline \end {tabular} The Problem occuring at this point is, that the last column is far wider than the other two. I want all columns to have the equal width, but be centered at the same time as well. The problem, in short, is that the options c and p{...} cannot e used all together. -- Johannes Reinhard Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.

Normalizing matrix (rows AND columns equal to 1)

HP 48/49: Matrix editior, where is the column width stored?
Hello together, I wondering, where I can find/read the width of columns, used within the matrix editor? Within the matrix editor it is possible to change the width of the columns with <-WID and WID->, but where is this info stored? How can I store or reset the width of columns? Best regards Heiko Hi Heiko, just take a look into the code behind the related menu keys;-) There are LAMs inside the matrix application to recall and store the width, and a display metrics update function. Let's call it 'ChangeWidth' :-) For more details just drop me a mail. Hmm, reminds m...

Modify last column in a matrix, replacing with an equally spaced range of values?
I'm generating a 42*42 matrix, T, of temperature values. Most interior values are 10 (initial guess for iteration purposes). Row 1 is all 4's, row 42 all -17. I need to make the final column (42) a range of equally spaced values from 4 to -17. What's the best way to do this? Below is how I'm doing this so far (forgive me, I'm VERY new at this): T=10*ones(42,42); T(1,1:end)=4; T(42,1:end)=-17; I don't know how to handle the final column simply? I can change the full column with T(:,end)=new_value So I've been trying variations on that, say with a range on the ...

Is there a way to make row height equal to column width when you don't know value in advance?
Hi again, I appreciate all the advice I've gotten so far. My question this time is whether there's a way to make the row height equal to the column width when you don't know in advance what you'll be using. The content of each cell is text. Thanks if anyone has any ideas for me. I'm starting to think the answer is no. I've experimented with cellpadding, but that adds space in all four directions.

A matrix that selects some predetermined columns from another matrix to produce a matrix that cosists of those columns
Hi, I would like to come up with a matrix to takes some columns of another matrix and puts them into the other matrix. For example, for X = [x1 x2 x3 x4] where xi is n x 1 vector, XJ = [x2 x3]. So, J has to be n x 2.

Convert two matrixes ca and y with 2 columns in a matrix w with on column ca and one column y
Dear Matlab User, I have following problem. I use a programm called dynare it is written to make the use of Matlab easy. By this programm I get in Matlab two matrizes one is called ca and one is called y. Each of these matrizes consist of n artifical time series produced by matlab written in the colums of the matrix. for example: ca=[5 8 and y = [4 3 1 2] 3 1] and now I want to convert them in w =[ca y]=[5 4 1 3] and another w=[ca]=[8 3 2 1] Is their an easy matlab code to do that?

Comparing the columns of a matrix to a column
Hi, Suppose I have a matrix M that looks like this: M=[1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8] and I would like to see which columns of M = [1;2]. Is there any easy way to do this, without using a for loop?

Multiplying each matrix column by a column vector
I remember using a function that multiplied each column (or optionally row) of a matrix by a specific column (or optionally row) vector. It seems impossible to find the function in the MATLAB help since I don't remember the name. Anyone know which one I'm talking about? Thanks, Bryan I don't know of such a particular function; however, for any matrix A and column vector v, it would seem straightforward to accomplish your task with: A.*repmat(v, 1, size(A,2)) There's probably a more elegant/faster way that avoids using repmat, but I forget at the moment how to index matrices...

Multiply columns in a matrix by a column array

how to find the closest columns of each columns in the matrix fast
hi, i have a 16x20000 matrix and i want to find the closest vector for each column in the matrix based on the euclidean metric. The brute-force approach is to compute euclidean metric sequantially for each column and this requires a 20000x20000 computation and takes a very long time. So anybody can suggest a faster implementation ? finally i ll fill a vector containing the each closest vector's index in the matrix like : closest(1,i) = j ; j is the closest column to i in the matrix.. thanks in advance. kadir wrote: > > > hi, i have a 16x20000 matrix and i want to find the closest...
