Question

Mi supervisor me pidió que hiciera tres mesas verticales en una mesa horizontal/horizontal. El código de mis tablas (al menos la parte de formato) era bastante complejo y este es mi primer intento con una tabla horizontal. Desafortunadamente, estoy un poco atascado y creo que sé dónde me estoy equivocando (el ancho de las columnas, etc.), pero no estoy seguro de cómo solucionarlo. A continuación presento una maqueta de mi tabla para comprender a qué me gustaría llegar:

Aqui esta mi MWE

Answer 1

Recomendaría reemplazar los títulos de las columnas bastante largos (Graduado, Excluido académicamente, Censurado) con abreviaturas (G, AE, C) y describir la clave en el título. Luego podrá colocar fácilmente todas las columnas en una página horizontal.

Hay muchos otros pequeños cambios aquí y allá. No estoy seguro de recordarlo todo, pero:

• Nueva especificación de columna. Una pcolumna seguida de 12 Scolumnas.
• Se eliminaron algunos paréntesis de un par de números.
• Se eliminaron algunos elementos adicionales &y también se agregaron algunos cuando fuera necesario.
• longtablese utiliza. Creo que la tabla es demasiado larga para caber en una sola página.
• Tenía saltos de línea después de cada uno de los encabezados de las columnas superiores (Comercio, EBE, etc.), esos deberían ser &.
• Cuatro cmidrules separadas con algo de recorte, en lugar de una larga.

Al reescribir/acortar las entradas en la primera columna y reducirlas, \tabcolseppuede comprimir todo en una sola página en modo vertical. Si el bloque de texto en su documento real es más ancho que el predeterminado, articletendrá más para continuar, por lo que puede hacer las cosas más anchas que en el siguiente código. (El marco en la captura de pantalla proviene de la carga del showframepaquete, solo está ahí para demostrar que la tabla está realmente dentro del ancho del bloque de texto).
