I have a simple table, see attached pic, and I would like a horizontal arrow over the first row, from left to right. Another arrow next to the first column, vertical.

For both these arrow I would like text, on the arrow. The horizontal arrow should say, increasing complication. The vertical arrow should say increasing complexity.

Thanks all.

my table

  • Do these arrows have to go through the cells contents ? – Bernard Apr 26 '19 at 11:51

With tikzmark:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}\hline
\tikzmark{a}aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb&ccccccccccccccccccc\tikzmark{c}\\\hline
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy&zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\\\hline
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx&yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy&zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz\\\hline

\end{tabular}

\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\draw[-latex] ([ shift={(0,4ex)}]pic cs:a) -- node[above] {increasing complication} ([ shift={(0,4ex)}]pic cs:c);
\draw[-latex] ([ shift={(-3ex,0.7ex)}]pic cs:a) -- node[below,sloped] {increasing complexity} ([ shift={(-3ex,0)}]pic cs:d);
