% "environ.tex" contains LaTeX environments and related macros. Use the last % set of commands to actually create tables ("tinvrule", "tabarg"s, % "cameratable", "cameracont", and "cameraend". % % Written by Michael R. Greason, Hughes STX, 22 January 1993. % % Environment definitions and related commands. These % environments are for defining AAS camera-ready tables. % % The arguments for stdtable and stdendcont: % 1 : The number of columns in the table. % 2 : The "tabular" column format, in the normal % LaTeX table format (a series of l's, r's, % and c's). % 3 : The first of two title lines. Just the text. % stdendcont adds a " (cont.)" to this string. % 4 : The second of two title lines. Just the text. % 5 : The column header line. Embed the tab (&) % characters just as if you were defining the % table "normally." % 6 : A line, with embedded tabs, containing a line that % defines the maximum widths of each column. It is % recommended that this line have a negative height, % so that it is invisible. It is inserted just % before the first title, but after the lines. % The environment (stdtable) sets up and finishs a page's % worth of table. You have to break the table up % yourself. The command (stdendcont) combines the end of % the previous table with the start of the next % continuation of that table. This command allows the % user to move the end of a table around, trying to find % the best page break, by moving only a single line. % Note that you will still need to provide an % \end{stdtable} of the appropriate sort for the last % table when finished. % % tinvrule defines a rule of negative height (-0.001pt). The % argument is the width of the rule. Created for use with % stdtable argument 6. % % The "tabarg"s commands are used to simplify the creation of a % table. The user is intended to redefine these commands with % their own arguments. % "tabarga" = "stdtable" argument 1 % "tabargb" = "stdtable" argument 2 % "tabargc" = "stdtable" argument 3 % "tabargd" = "stdtable" argument 4 % "tabarge" = "stdtable" argument 5 % "tabargf" = "stdtable" argument 6 % % The "cameratable" command initializes a table. It begins a % "stdtable" environment, supplying the "tabarg"s as the % "stdtable" arguments. % % The "cameracont" command terminates the current page's table % and initializes the next, using the "stdendcont" command % supplied with the "tabarg"s as arguments. % % The "cameraend" command terminates the last table, issuing a % "\end{stdtable}". % % The "stdtable" environment. % \newenvironment{stdtable}[6]{ % % The begin command-set. % \begin{tabular}{#2} \tableline\tableline #6\\[-9pt] % The [-9pt] kills most of the strut. \multicolumn{#1}{c}{#3}\\ \multicolumn{#1}{c}{#4}\\ #5\\ \tableline }{ % % The end command-set. % \end{tabular} } % % The "stdendcont" command. % \newcommand{\stdendcont}[6]{\end{stdtable}\clearpage \begin{stdtable}{#1}{#2}{#3\ (cont.)}{#4}{#5}{#6}} % % The "tinvrule" command. % \newcommand{\tinvrule}[1]{\vrule width#1 height-0.001pt depth0.0pt} % % The "tabarg"s commands are used to simplify the % creation of a table.
