I have a longtable with \cline borders. Unfortunately, the image in the second column is not vertically centered. I even fail in changing the vertical position any way. I found this similar question: Vertically center image with respect to longtable paragraph

But changing p and m parameter doesn't seem to have an influence.

Here is my minimal working example:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrreprt} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{mwe} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{array} \begin{document} \begin{longtable}{m{0.06\textwidth}p{0.3\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}} % \begin{longtable}{p{0.06\textwidth}m{0.3\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}m{0.05\textwidth}} % doesn't work either Index & Figure & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla\\ \cline{2-8} 1 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} 2 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} 3 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} \end{longtable} \end{document}

The output looks like:

It seems that there is a higher bottom margin. How can I center the image vertically (and also the text as it seems that the text is too low)?

I always suggest \cmidrule from booktabs, since it adds a nice amount of vertical spacing. Here the trick is to lower a bit the graphics:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrreprt} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{graphicx} \newcommand{\lowincludegraphics}[2][]{% \raisebox{-0.7\dp\strutbox}{\includegraphics[#1]{#2}}% } \begin{document} \begin{longtable}{ c m{0.3\textwidth} *{6}{c} } Index & Figure & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla\\ \cmidrule{2-8} 1 & \lowincludegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cmidrule{2-8} 1 & \lowincludegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cmidrule{2-8} 1 & \lowincludegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cmidrule{2-8} \end{longtable} \end{document}

  • Thanks for all three answers/comments @egreg, Bernard, leandriis. I tried all three suggestions. The comment from leandriis is incorporated in the answer from Bernard. Finally, I decided to combine the answers. Now I use ’\cmidrule’ together with the suggestions from Bernard. The suggestions from leandriis' comment alone center the figure but without space and I would prefer some more space as by Bernard's and egreg's solutions. So, thanks again for your help and useful suggestions! Commented Oct 28, 2018 at 19:16

Here is a proposition: replace the 2nd column specifier m{0.3\textwidth} with Sc, where S is a pre-column specifier defined by package cellspace which ensures a minimal vertical spacing at the top and bottom of cells in the column, and load adjustbox. If you load siunitx , which already defines an S column type, replace S with C:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrreprt} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{mwe} \usepackage[export]{adjustbox} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{array} \usepackage{cellspace, booktabs} \setlength{\cellspacetoplimit}{3pt} \setlength{\cellspacebottomlimit}{3pt} \begin{document} \begin{longtable}{m{0.06\textwidth}Sc m{0.05\textwidth} *{6}{m{0.05\textwidth}}} Index & Figure & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla\\ \cline{2-8} 1 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth, valign = c]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} 2 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth, valign = c]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} 3 & \includegraphics[width=0.2\linewidth, valign = c]{example-image-a} & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla & bla \\ \cline{2-8} \end{longtable} \end{document}
