Can some help me making the table coded in this Thread https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/301036/229635 fit the line width?

As a MWE I copied the code from the Thread I attached as a link.

Thanks a lot, Cheers Benson_G

  • Did you already try to replace {11cm} with {\textwidth}? – leandriis Nov 26 '20 at 14:13
  • @leandriis yes I did. It didn't work. – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 14:28
  • What exactly does "it does not work" mean? Do you get a different output than the expected or an error message? Please clarify. – leandriis Nov 26 '20 at 15:37
  • I just updated my MWE and attached a picture of the output. – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:39
  • Add \noindent right before \begin{tabularx}. Also, it does not really make sense to use tabularx without any X type column. In the previous version of your question, there was an X type column present. Your table currently is wider than the textwidth, since you did not take into account the value of \tabcosep when calculating the column widths. – leandriis Nov 26 '20 at 15:40
  • \noindent fixed the gap between the table and the left page border but the overlap on the right side remains. I have updated the MWE and the output picture again. – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:43
  • I want to use tabularxbecause I want to get rid of the white thin vertical lines between the color filled cells. – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:44
  • tabularx is not the problem per se. The issue here is that you use it while not declaring any X type columns in your table. Replace all instances of m{.3\textwidth} with X and your table should be just as wide as the textwidth. – leandriis Nov 26 '20 at 15:44
  • Okay if tabularxis not the problem I would highly appreciated a solution using only `tabulator anything else which is simpler to use. :D – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:47
  • @leandriis Do you literally mean to replace all m{.3\textwidth}by X ? – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:53
  • Yes. As I already mentioned earlier: tabularx needs at least one X type column to properly "do its magic". – leandriis Nov 26 '20 at 15:55
  • @leandriis Replacing the m{.3\textwidth}by Xmakes it even worse but I think I most probably did it wrong. See updated MWE and output Picture – Benson_G Nov 26 '20 at 15:58

Here is a first rough version of your table that now fits into the textwidth.

enter image description here

\usepackage[hmargin={3cm,2cm},vmargin=2cm, includehead]{geometry}

\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{m{#1}}

                & \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering\columncolor{gr}}X}{Here's a box\ Score}
                            & \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering\columncolor{gr}[\dimexpr\tabcolsep + 0pt\relax]}X}{Another Box\ with two Rows} %
                                        & \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering\columncolor{gr}[\tabcolsep]}X|}{Student's\ Proficiency Level}

With the help of cellspace:

  • this is working pretty well. Thanks a lot! :) – Benson_G Nov 27 '20 at 06:54
  • Two last questions: Is there a way to 1. increase the row height of only the first row and 2. to add some vertical space only between the first and the second row? – Benson_G Nov 27 '20 at 07:03
  • You could use the cellspace package. I have just updated my answer to include a second example that demostrates the use of the before mentioned package. I used exaggerated values just to show the effect more clearly. – leandriis Nov 27 '20 at 07:55

Hey guys and @leandriis,

I could manage to solve my problems by myself.

Here is what the final code looks like....just in case you are interested: It includes a way:

  1. to solve the prob with white thin vertical lines between the color filled cells by using @leandriis code in this thread above

  2. to only change the row height of the first row by using

\usepackage{stackengine} % Package to change row height
\newcommand\xrowht[2][0]{\addstackgap[.5\dimexpr#2\relax]{\vphantom{#1}}}

in the preamble and \xrowht{10pt}within the multicolumn curly brackets for text. (How to specify the row height in LaTeX table?)

  1. to add vertical space only between two specific cells with \addlinespace[0.2cm] right after the command for a new tabular line (Inserting a small vertical space in a table)
