I'm using makecell package to write vertical text to my table cells. It works fine, but I have trouble centering it. Normal vertical text (within a {tabular}) is displayed as:
\rothead{Some lenghthy\\ sentence}
Using
\rothead[c]{Some lenghthy\\ sentence}
does center it, but adds a @ to the end ??
I'm not good at tex macros, this is the definition:
% \begin{macro}{\rothead}
% The macro for rotated tabular column heads. If no \package{rotating} package
% loaded this macro works like |\thead|.
% \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\rothead{\@ifundefined{turn}%
{\PackageWarning{makecell}{\string\rothead\space
needs rotating package}%
\let\tabg@pe\theadgape
\def\t@bset{\cellset\theadfont\theadset}\thead@}%
{\let\theadgape\rotheadgape
\@ifnextchar[{\@rothead}{\@@rothead}}}
% \end{macrocode}
% For rotated column head default column setting is similar to
% |p{\rotheadsize}| (plus some additional justification settings)
% \begin{macrocode}
\@ifdefinable\@rothead{}
\def\@rothead[#1]#2{\thead{\\[-.65\normalbaselineskip]
\turn{\cellrotangle}\thead[#1]{#2@{}}\endturn}}
\newcommand\@@rothead[1]{\thead{\\[-.65\normalbaselineskip]
\turn{\cellrotangle}\thead[c{>{\rightskip0explus
\rotheadsize\hyphenpenalty0\pretolerance-1%
\noindent\hskip\z@}p{\rotheadsize}
@{}}]{#1}\endturn}}
% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
Can anyone explain please? I'd really like to center my vertical column headers :(
makecell
androtating
packages, plus a single small table with the relevant\rothead
command.) The code you added (which is from themakecell
package was the right code to diagnose the problem, though.)
