I know that I already found this, but I am not sure where, so I ask it here.

How can I individually specify the number and alignment of a bracket matrix using bmatrix?

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{mathtools}

\begin{document}

\begin{displaymath}
A = \left[%
\begin{array}[@{}lcr@{}]
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\
\end{array}
\right]
\end{displaymath}

% Achieve the same as above

\begin{displaymath}
\begin{bmatrix}[lcr]
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\
\end{bmatrix}
\end{displaymath}

\end{document}

  • @egreg I already found it. But know I don't remember where. And there was a comment from you saying this would be good addon to amsmath. – cacamailg Oct 03 '14 at 14:41
  • Thanks for the link. That is what I was trying to find. Shall I delete this question? – cacamailg Oct 03 '14 at 14:45

    The bmatrix* environment of mathtools allows for specifying only a global alignment for all columns. – egreg Oct 03 '14 at 14:46
  • Yes. But I was looking for that question, where I can define individual alignments. – cacamailg Oct 03 '14 at 14:50
  • If you want to specify the individual alignments for a bmatrix, then it's far easier to define your own environment which emulates array. – Werner Oct 03 '14 at 14:55
  • Yes you are right. But I didn't want to do that because I wanted to keep the definition as before with a little improvements that does not require changing the full document itself for that new redefinition. – cacamailg Oct 03 '14 at 14:59
