How can I replace the matrix element by colored squared box ? Suppose I have a 10x10 matrix with entries{+1,-1}. I want to put a black square box for +1 and red square box got -1 which will give me a design. Anyone can provide me clear idea ? Thanks in advance.

Below I present two possibilities.
You don't even need the
1s; it's enough to have an array of+and-characters:\documentclass{article} \usepackage{fancyvrb} \usepackage{xcolor} \makeatletter \newenvironment{MyVerb} { \def\verbatim@nolig@list{\do\`\do\<\do\>\do\,\do\'} \catcode`+=\active \catcode`-=\active \setlength\fboxsep{6pt} \offinterlineskip \VerbatimEnvironment \begin{Verbatim} } {\end{Verbatim}} \makeatother \begin{document} \begin{MyVerb}[defineactive=% \def+{\colorbox{black}{\phantom{a}}} \def-{\colorbox{red!70!black}{\phantom{a}}}] +-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+ +-+-+-+-+- -+-+-+-+-+ \end{MyVerb} \begin{MyVerb}[defineactive=% \def+{\colorbox{black}{\phantom{a}}} \def-{\colorbox{red!70!black}{\phantom{a}}}] +---+---+- --+---+--- -+++-+++-+ --+---+--- +---+---+- ++-+++-+++ +---+---+- --+---+--- -+++-+++-+ --+---+--- \end{MyVerb} \begin{MyVerb}[defineactive=% \def+{\colorbox{black}{\phantom{a}}} \def-{\colorbox{red!70!black}{\phantom{a}}}] ++++++++++ +---++---+ +-+-++-+-+ +++-++-+++ ----++---- ----++---- +++-++-+++ +-+-++-+-+ +---++---+ ++++++++++ \end{MyVerb} \end{document}
This answer is a variation of
my answerto Is there a way to make a certain character in a Verbatim have a certain formatting?.Here's a different approach using this time the
collcellpackage: \documentclass{article} \usepackage[table]{xcolor} \usepackage{collcell}\def\Side{8pt} \newcommand\ColCell[1]{% \ifnum#1=-1\relax \gdef\mycolor{red!70!black} \else \ifnum#1=1\relax \gdef\mycolor{black} \fi\fi \expandafter\expandafter\cellcolor{\mycolor}% \parbox[c][\dimexpr\Side+2\tabcolsep\relax][c]{\Side}{}% } \newcolumntype{E}{>{\centering\arraybackslash\collectcell\ColCell}p{\Side}<{\endcollectcell}} \begin{document} \noindent\begin{tabular}{*{10}{E}} +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ \end{tabular}\qquad \noindent\begin{tabular}{*{10}{E}} +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 \\ -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ \end{tabular}\bigskip \noindent\begin{tabular}{*{10}{E}} +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 \\ -1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ -1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & -1 \\ +1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & +1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 & +1 & -1 & -1 & -1 & +1 \\ +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 & +1 \\ \end{tabular} \end{document}
