Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multirow, rccol | Empty Cells

[zoparrat]

I have a table where i'm using rccol to align decimals. I also have a bunch of empty cells and some multirows. Whenever the empty cells or multirows fall within the columns formatted with rccol, the cells are filled with 0.000's.

Is there a workaround for this?

Here's a simple example that works without rccol (I commented out the rccol line and replaced with regular formatting the line below)
Attached image is how this looks (without rccol, with rccol stuff is all over the place)

Code: Select all

\usepackage{booktabs,multirow,array,rccol}
\begin{table}[htbp]
  \centering
	  \caption{Mean and Standard Deviation of stuff.}    
		\footnotesize
		\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
		%\begin{tabular}{@{}ccR[.][.]{3}{3}R[.][.]{3}{3}R[.][.]{3}{3}R[.][.]{3}{3}@{}}
    \begin{tabular}{@{}cccccc@{}}
    \addlinespace
    \toprule          
          &       &   \multicolumn{2}{c}{} 	& \multicolumn{2}{c}{stats} \\
          &       & \multicolumn{2}{c}{line1} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{method} \\
          &       & \multicolumn{2}{c}{line2} & \multicolumn{2}{c}{length, } \\
          &       &  \multicolumn{2}{c}{(segments)}   & \multicolumn{2}{c}{100 samples)} \\

I know this post is one year old, but there aren't many discussions about the rccol package. I just got interested in its functionalities, tried a few simple cases, but I must say I can replicate the OPs observations, and I have no idea if there might be a workaround.

I know that the siunitx package is often recommended, but I've been totally unable to make it work, despite installing and reinstalling it. So I'm very interested in hearing about a workaround based on rccol and not involving the siunitx package.

A slight editing of the OP's code below:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs,multirow,array}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[point]{rccol}
\newcolumntype{S}{R{3}{3}}
