I want to reverse (flip horizontal) all columns in some tables like this:

\documentclass{book}‎
‎\begin{document}‎
\begin{center}‎
‎\begin{tabular}{c|c|c}‎
‎$p$ & $q$ & $p\vee q$ \\ \hline‎
‎$T$ & $T$ &T\\‎
‎$T$ & $F$ &T\\‎
‎$F$ & $T$ &T\\‎
‎$F$ & $F$ &F‎  
‎\end{tabular}‎
‎\end{center}‎
‎\end{document}

I wrote these tables in Persian Xe-TeX and this language is a right to left writing language, and these tables appear reverse in output, so I used \lr command but the tables broke down and went out from centering also. I don't want to rewrite them. How can I fix it?

  • Please clarify what you mean by "reverse (flip horizontal)". E.g., do you want to invert the ordering of the columns?

  • @Mico I want to the first column appears in the last position and second goes to column-1 and so on, then the last column will be the first of new table.

  • I think your best best is to use an editor that lets you select rectangular blocks and cut and paste them as you see fit.

Edit:

If we want reversed order, an exemplary solution for three columns may be as follows:

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}

Original

\begin{tabular}{c|c|c}
$p$ & $q$ & $p\vee q$ \\ \hline
$T$ & $T$ &T\\
$T$ & $F$ &T\\
$F$ & $T$ &T\\
$F$ & $F$ &F  
\end{tabular}

Reversed order

\def\1#1&#2&#3\\{#3 &#2 &#1 \\}

\begin{tabular}{c|c|c}
\1$p$ & $q$ & $p\vee q$ \\ \hline
\1$T$ & $T$ &T\\
\1$T$ & $F$ &T\\
\1$F$ & $T$ &T\\
\1$F$ & $F$ &F\\ %this one added - PS  
\end{tabular}

\end{center}
\end{document}

  • Thanks, but what should I do with these mirrored characters?

  • @S.Nosrati There are at least 3 possible interpetations of your request. This one is the simplest one to obtain. But after some clarifying a different combination of reversing the order and entries in columns is possible.

  • It's great. This works for moving every arbitrary column without rewrite it. OK. Thanks a lot.

  • Another question that can we delete an arbitrary column in this flapping! process? For example the original table has 10 columns and with this definition they reduce to 8 columns?

  • @S.Nosrati Yes, it is possible. However rather precise formulation of the problem would help. In particular, reducing from 9 to 7 columns is easier than from 10 to 8. BTW: I think, that removing the first part of my answer is a good move, but if for some reasons you want it to stay, it will stay.
