I want to create a LaTeX table with three rows which have different row heights. How can I do this?

The following code

\renewcommand\arraystretch{2.4} \setlength\minrowclearance{2.4pt}

seems make each row has the same height.

you could probably use \rule{0pt}{<lenght>} to create a line with 0 width but a certain vertical length. – Martin H Jun 1 '11 at 7:32

Try this:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\hline
hi & tall one\\[10ex]
\hline
hi & medium one\\[5ex]
\hline
hi & standard one\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

So you can specify the height of a row with the optional argument

how do you vertically centralize the elements in a cell, using the [ex] optional argument?! – Ivan Machado Nov 21 '12 at 22:57

Using \\[<space>] adds space to the end of the last cell, so if the last cell of each row has significantly different contents, then the row height can vary. This is easily solved by adding an extra column, and keeping it empty. Then \\[<space>] always makes the row <space> as a minimum. – Nathanael Farley Dec 17 '12 at 11:03

a tabel with horizontally and vertically centered elements:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[thinlines]{easytable}
\begin{document}

\begin{TAB}(e,10ex,5ex){|c|c|}{|c|c|c|}
hi & tall one\\
hi & medium one\\
hi & standard one\\
\end{TAB}

\end{document}
