issue with hhline and cellcolor in table

TeX - LaTeX Asked by madibat on September 4, 2020

I am trying to setup a table with hhline and cellcolor. After I got it so far, that I don’t see hhlines in the colored cells I am now missing the black hhlines which should separate the cells. This is how it should look like:

Here’s what I have:

I have two missing hhlines and theres some small spaces inbetween the borders of the multirow cells. Is there a way to fix this issue?

I have two MWEs: the last one cure both problems, the first does not cure the small green spaces.

Using hhline

You have forgotten to turn on arrayrowcolor{black} two places. In addition, the hhline- syntax was wrong one place. I have not found a solution for the small spaces in the horizontal borders (yet). It is the green coloured arrayrule under the multirow that overwrite the vertical line.

Not related: You load multirow twice.

Using cals

Your tabular is much easier to build using cals.

Correct answer by Sveinung on September 4, 2020

Small modification of first example (+1) regarding use of colors in table in the nice Sveinung answer (for exercise)):

documentclass{article}
% General document formatting
usepackage[margin=0.7in]{geometry}
usepackage[parfill]{parskip}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{multirow, hhline}

% Related to math
usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,amsthm}
usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}
definecolor{col1}{HTML}{C0E5C6}    % <---
definecolor{col2}{HTML}{E2EFD9}    % <---

renewcommand{arraystretch}{1.2}
setlength{extrarowheight}{1pt}

begin{document}
    begin{table}[!ht]
    centering
begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
    hhline{-~~}
cellcolor{col1}{Modell-Überkategorien} % <---
                        &   multicolumn{2}{c}{}    
    hhline{-~~}
statisch                &   multicolumn{2}{c}{}    
    hhline{-~~}
zufällig (Monte-Carlo)  &   multicolumn{2}{c}{}    
    hhline{*{3}{-}}
rowcolor{col2} 
                        & Kontinuirlich &             % <---
    hhline{>{arrayrulecolor{col2}}-%
            >{arrayrulecolor{black}}-%
            >{arrayrulecolor{col2}}-}
    arrayrulecolor{black}
rowcolor{col2} 
                        & Hybrid        &           
    hhline{>{arrayrulecolor{col2}}-%
            >{arrayrulecolor{black}}-%
            >{arrayrulecolor{col2}}-}
    arrayrulecolor{black}
rowcolor{col2}
multirow{-3}{*}{dynamisch}
                        & Diskret       & multirow{-3}{*}{Raum/Zeit}   
    hhline{|---}
cellcolor{col2} (Multi)-Agenten basiert
                        &   multicolumn{2}{c}{}    
    hhline{|-~~}
end{tabular}
    end{table}
end{document}

Result is the same as in his answer.

Here is a solution with nicematrix. In {NiceTabular} of nicematrix you have a key hvlines-except-corners which will draw all the rules excepted in the blocks and in the corners. That's what we need here.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{nicematrix}

renewcommand{arraystretch}{1.2}
setlength{extrarowheight}{1pt}

begin{document}
begin{table}[!ht]
centering
begin{NiceTabular}{ccc}%
  [hvlines-except-corners,
   code-before = cellcolor[HTML]{C0E5C6}{1-1}
                 rowcolor[HTML]{E2EFD9}{4-6}
                 cellcolor[HTML]{E2EFD9}{7-1}
  ]              
Modell-Überkategorien 
statisch 
zufällig (Monte-Carlo)  
Block{3-1}{dynamisch} & Kontinuirlich & Block{3-1}{} 
                       & Hybrid        & Raum/Zeit 
                       & Diskret 
(Multi)-Agenten basiert
end{NiceTabular}
end{table}
end{document}

Remarks:

  • You need to compile twice (because informations, in particular for the PGF/Tikz nodes created under the array by nicematrix, are written on the aux file after the first compilation).
  • With nicematrix, you won't have artefacts in some PDF viewers at some level of zoom (as you can have with PDF created with colortbl).

Ouput of the above code
