I want to add dots at the end of a table like this without taking up space from the table, so just an open-ended table with dots at the end, with the dots taking up no space, what I have so far is this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
1&1&O \\
\hline
&\vdots&
\end{array}

This is the expected output closest to I can represent it. enter image description here

  • I recommend providing a complete example (that can be compiled) and a drawing/screenshot/rendering of the expected output. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Feb 22 '22 at 02:15
  • I haven't been able to find an example of the expected output yet, I will keep searching and let you know if I find one. – cabbage dude Feb 22 '22 at 03:04
  • I drew one with microsoft paint, it's not very good but it get's the idea across :) – cabbage dude Feb 22 '22 at 03:15

    @cabbagedude What you mean by taking no space is not completely clear to me. Please have a look at my proposal and criticize it, if this not what you had in mind. – Denis Feb 22 '22 at 07:59

Would something like this suit you?

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
    \usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
    \usepackage{mathtools}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation*}
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
1&1&0 \\
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{c}{\smash{\vdots}}\\
\end{array}
\end{equation*}
\end{document}

Remove the \smashto increase space, if wished.

Here is a solution using the excellent package tabularray. The X, Y, Z denotes the three last lines.

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{tabularray}


\begin{document}
\begin{tblr}{
    colspec={|c|c|c|},
    vlines={Z}{dashed},
    hline{1-Y},
  }
  1&1&0 \
  0&1&1 \
  &&
\end{tblr}
\end{document}

enter image description here

A more compact version:

\documentclass{standalone}

\usepackage{tabularray}


\begin{document}
\begin{tblr}{
    colspec={ccc},
    % spec of the lines 1 to Y
    rowsep=1pt,
    hline{1-Y},
    vlines={1-Y}{solid},
    % spec of the last (Z) line
    vlines={Z}{dashed},
    row{Z}={abovesep=0pt,belowsep=0pt},
  }
  1&1&0 \
  0&1&1 \
  &&
\end{tblr}
\end{document}

\omit TeX primitive omits the declared table mask in the given item in the table (i.e. in the \halign primitive). Your example can look like this:

\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
1&1&O \\
\hline
\omit&\omit\hfil\vdots\hfil&\omit
\end{array}

Here is a start based on Vertical equivalent of \mathclap?. I do not fully understand the question so I am pretty sure that you are not 100 % happy with this :).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}

\begin{equation}
\begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
1 & 1 & 0 \\hline
&\smash[t]{\vdots}&
\end{array}

\end{equation}


\end{document}
