All (I think?) the previous solutions don't work all that well in combination with coloured cell backgrounds: the backgrounds will stick out over the prettily rounded corners.
The solution is to apply clipping. And the difficulty with that is that the clipping path needs to be set before the table is drawn. A.f.a.I.k., the only way of achieving this is saving the whole table into a box first, then setting the clipping path accordingly. Just adding clip
to the TikZ node
didn't do it for me at least.
Since this amounts to quite a bit of boilerplate around the table, you could put the whole thing into an environment, and use the environ
package to capture the table content conveniently.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newsavebox{\tablebox}
\definecolor{tablecolor}{named}{ForestGreen}
\NewEnviron{rndtable}[1]{%
\addtolength{\extrarowheight}{1ex}%
\rowcolors{2}{tablecolor!20}{tablecolor!40}%
\savebox{\tablebox}{%
\begin{tabular}{#1}%
\BODY%
\end{tabular}}%
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{scope}
\clip[rounded corners=1ex] (0,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,\ht\tablebox) -- (0,\ht\tablebox) -- cycle;
\node at (0,-\dp\tablebox) [anchor=south west,inner sep=0pt]{\usebox{\tablebox}};
\end{scope}
\draw[rounded corners=1ex] (0,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,-\dp\tablebox) -- (\wd\tablebox,\ht\tablebox) -- (0,\ht\tablebox) -- cycle;
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\begin{document}
\begin{rndtable}{l|l}
