TableText Command

TableText[List 1, List 2, List 3,...]

Creates a text that contains a table of the list objects.

Note: By default, each list is displayed in its own row of the table.

Example:

• TableText[{x^2, 4}, {x^3, 8}, {x^4, 16}] creates a table as a text object with three rows and two columns. All items of the table are left aligned.
• TableText[Sequence[i^2, i, 1, 10]] creates a table as a text object with one row. All items of the table are left aligned.

TableText[List 1, List 2, List 3,..., "Alignment of text"]

Creates a text that contains a table of the list objects. The optional text “Alignment of text” controls the orientation and alignment of the table text.

Note: Possible values are "vl", "vc", "vr", "v", "h", "hl", "hc", "hr". Default is "hl".

• "v" = vertical, i. e. lists are columns
• "h" = horizontal, i. e. lists are rows
• "l" = left aligned
• "r" = right aligned
• "c" = centered

Example:

• TableText[{1,2,3,4},{1,4,9,16},"v"] creates a text with two columns and four rows whose elements are left aligned.
• TableText[{1,2,3,4},{1,4,9,16},"h"] creates a text with two rows and four columns whose elements are left aligned.
• TableText[{11.2,123.1,32423.9,"234.0"},"vr"] creates a text with one column whose elements are right aligned.

It's now possible to insert:

• different types of brackets, using the following symbols ||||, ||, {}, [] or ()
• line separators, using the symbol _
• column separators, using the symbol |

\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline 1 & 2 \\ \hline 3 & 4 \\ \hline \end{array}

Examples:

• TableText[{1,2},{3,4},"c|_"] creates the text above ;
• TableText[{1,2},{3,4},"c||||"] creates the text \left\Vert \begin{array}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{array} \right\Vert  ;
• TableText[{1,2},{3,4},"c()"] creates the text \left( \begin{array}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{array} \right)  ;
• TableText[{1,2},{3,4},"c||"] creates the text \left\vert \begin{array}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{array} \right\vert .
