I am trying to create a table such as the one presented here, but the text within the first two columns should be centered vertically. However, I am not able to achieve it. What am I doing wrong? I have a warning of "bad \vbox", which I guess its causing the problem, but I do not know how to solve it.

  • What about the vertical alignment of the contents in the "Top Layer" columns. Do you want these contents vertically centered with respect to the image as well? If so, add valign=c to the options of \includegraphics and place \usepackage[export]{adjustbox} in the preamble of the document.

  • @leandriis worked like a charm! If you want to write it as an answer, I will mark it as accepted :) Thank you

  • @leandriis I tried a little bit more and its only the "E-field" and "H-field" the text that is centered now. The part corresponding to "Resonance frequency" still is bottom-aligned, owing to a bad box. Do you have any idea of what is going on here?

With the help of valign=c from adjustbox, \Block and NiceTabular from nicematrix and \makebox[0pt]:

            \\

            &%

            & X = 0 \& Z = 2b%
            & X = 0 \& Z = -2b%
            & X = ann \& Z = 0%

            \midrule
