I am making a relatively simple table in LaTeX however, I came across a problem. I am trying to make the following table: enter image description here

However, I get the following:

enter image description here

My MWE is the following:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx,multirow} \setbox0\hbox{\tabular{@{}l}Hydrocarbons\endtabular} \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{System} & K-Model & H-Model \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{\rlap{\usebox0}}} \\ & Ordinary & SRK &SRK \\ \cline{2-4} & Cryogenics & PR & PR \\ \cline{2-4} & Crude & CS, GS & LK \\ \cline{2-4} & Vacuum Crude & ESSO & LK\\ \hline \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Power combustion} & SRK &SRK \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Acid, Bases, Electrolytes} & Electrolytes Models &SRK, HTSL\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Chemicals} & Activity Coeff. & Latent Heat\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}​

  • I increased the height of the cells a little, is this good? Commented Mar 19, 2018 at 19:55
  • Yes, it is!! how did you do it? Commented Mar 19, 2018 at 19:57

I changed a few things:

  • I changed the \box0 to a \newbox\dontdoitbox. If you use box registers directly you may overwrite things you shouldn't overwrite. I put an automatic register instead (But still there's no point in using a box here...).

  • I removed the \rlap from the \usebox. The \rlap makes the box start at the center of the cell, instead of the bottom.

  • I included the array package and put \setlength{\extrarowheight}{6pt} to increase the height of the cells of the table to make everything fit.

Here's the result:

The code:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx,multirow} \usepackage{array} \setbox0\hbox{\tabular{@{}l}Hydrocarbons\endtabular} \begin{document} \pagenumbering{gobble} \setlength{\extrarowheight}{6pt} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{System} & K-Model & H-Model \\ \hline \multirow{4}{*}{\rotatebox{90}{\usebox0}} & Ordinary & SRK &SRK \\ \cline{2-4} & Cryogenics & PR & PR \\ \cline{2-4} & Crude & CS, GS & LK \\ \cline{2-4} & Vacuum Crude & ESSO & LK\\ \hline \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Power combustion} & SRK &SRK \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Acid, Bases, Electrolytes} & Electrolytes Models &SRK, HTSL\\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Chemicals} & Activity Coeff. & Latent Heat\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{document}

an alternative with use of packages makecell and rotating:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{makecell,multirow} \usepackage{rotating} \begin{document} \begin{center} \setcellgapes{5pt} \makegapedcells \settowidth\rotheadsize{Hydrocarbons} \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{System} & K-Model & H-Model \\\hline & Ordinary & SRK & SRK \\ \cline{2-4} & Cryogenics & PR & PR \\ \cline{2-4} & Crude & CS, GS & LK \\ \cline{2-4} \multirow[t]{-4}{*}{\rothead{Hydrocarbons}} & Vacuum Crude & ESSO & LK \\ \hline \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Power combustion} & SRK & SRK \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Acid, Bases, Electrolytes} & Electrolytes Models & SRK, HTSL \\ \hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Chemicals} & Activity Coeff. & Latent Heat \\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{document}​
