I made a CAST diagram, at least, I think it was what you meant.



\begin{align*}\begin{array}{*{20}c}S &\vline &  A  \\ \hline T &\vline &  C  \\ \end{array}\end{align*}

CODE

[display]\begin{array}{*{20}c}S &\vline &  A  \\ \hline T &\vline &  C  \\ \end{array}[/display]

Your code contains quite a lot of unnecessary information, here's an easier way to do it:

\begin{tabular}{c|c}
\\ \ \ Sin \ \ & \ \ All \ \ \\ \\
\cline{1-2}
\\ \ \ Tan \ \ & \ \ Cos \ \ \\ \\
\end{tabular}

CODE
[tex]\begin{tabular}{c|c}
\\ \ \ Sin \ \ & \ \ All \ \ \\ \\
\vline
\\ \ \ Tan \ \ & \ \ Cos \ \ \\ \\
\end{tabular}
[/tex]

(I just made this up quickly so it's not brilliant.)

Sorry, I'm very critical towards the use of efficient coding. At least you didn't have to suffer the perpetual lecturing I gave to the guy sitting next to me in my higher computing class about this subject. He had the most untidy programming I have ever seen... total chaos!

That file is the one I uploaded the day before the H Chemistry exam, although it's supposed to have dissappeared after the forum problem. No idea how it's managed to find its way in this thread though. blink.gif

OK, I've managed to get rid of that attachment - it was still in the database because only the posts table was destroyed last week. Your post must have had the same ID as the post it was originally attached to.

Also, I made up a nice nature table in latex a few weeks ago, but I've not got the code at hand. I'll post it once I get a hold of it again smile.gif

not this one, is it?

\begin{tabular}{c|cccc}
2 & 3 & 2 & c & d \\

\cline{2-5}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{} & 3 & 8 & 16+c & 32+2c+d \\

Here it is:



\begin{align*}
\begin{tabular}{c|ccc}
$x$ & $\rightarrow$ & 20 & $\rightarrow$ \\ 
\hline 
$f'(x)$ & $+$ & 0 & $-$ \\
\cline{3-3}
Graph & $\diagup$ &  & $\diagdown$ \\
\end{tabular}
\end{align*}
CODE
[display]
\begin{tabular}{c|ccc}
$x$ & $\rightarrow$ & 20 & $\rightarrow$ \\
\hline
$f'(x)$ & $+$ & 0 & $-$ \\
\cline{3-3}
Graph & $\diagup$ &  & $\diagdown$ \\
\end{tabular}
[/display]


It's maybe a bit tightly packed, but I imagine that could be fixed by altering the table's row padding or something like that smile.gif

Sure smile.gif

You can also see the code by hitting 'Reply' underneath the post; it will be added as a quote and you can read off the code from the text box.

Ah! So that's how you get diagonal lines. What exactly do the $'s do, I notice they make f'(x) appear properly. That's a much better method of making a nature table, nice work... cool.gif

i believe the $'s are used to show the interpreter that we want to use the String character - or + or f(x) not the mathmatical function addition, subtraction etc

If i am not here i am somewhere else
