Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ \cellcolor colors over table rules

[sk]

Hi everyone,

I use the command \cellcolor provided by the package colortbl to color some table cells using a gray scale. The problem is, even though I pute rules in the table using \cline, these are not show in some cells.

I attach a small example (.tex) together with the pdf file that ilustrates the problem.

Any hints on how to solve this are appreciated.

Don't use \cline, but \hhline from hhline package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt]{article}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{hhline}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!h]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline
Column1 &   Column2 &   1 &  2 &  3 &  4 &  5 &  6 &  7 &  8 &  9 &  10 & 11 \\ \hline
\multirow{2}{*}{Rows} 
& Row1    &  &   &   &  &  &  &  &  &  &  & \\ \cline{2-13}
& Row2 &  & &  &   &  &  &   &   &  &  & \\ \hline
\multirow{2}{*}{More rows}
& Row3 &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\ \cline{2-13}
& Row4 &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   &   \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{This table has all the rules...}
\end{table}

\begin{table}[!h]

\end{tabular}
\caption{...but this one doesn't}
\end{table}

Take a look at hhline package documentation for more infos.

it is only a problem with the viewer. Print it and compare
the output.

I thought about the viewer issue but then I printed and not all of them are OK. For example, al the cells in rows 3 and 4 that are colored in both rows do not have a rule.

I will try the hhline package.

EDIT: It seems to be working fine with hhline, I will print and then I will update the post if everything is OK

EDIT2: Printed also looks good. Thanks
