Table in Latex Overlapping with Second Column of the Page
I got a problem with tables in LaTeX. I am using a pre-defined format from a conference, which makes a page consists of two columns. My table is too wide to be contained in one column, so it goes to the second 开发者_Go百科column of the page and overlaps with text!
- Why is LaTeX allowing this?
- Is it possible in the current format, to make the table a block, so that it uses two columns, and the text in the other column dragged down a bit?
- Any other suggestion?
This is my code:
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Rule & Factor & Best Value & Delta_t & Delta_{do} & Comments \\
\hline
\multirow{3}{c}{Diagonal Dominance} & Line Angle & 45 & 15 & 30 & The angle between the prominent line of the object and
the diagonal lines \\ % TODO: What object? Make sure it is clear.
& Line Distance & 0 & 0.25 & 1 & The distance, in screen coordinates, from the
prominent line of the object to the diagonal lines. \\ % TODO: Need to define screen coordinates
& Corner Distances & 0 & 0.1 & 0.7 & The distance, in screen coordinates, from the
end of the prominent line of the object to the corners of the screen. \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{The factors of each rule and their parameters.}
\label{table:factors}
\end{table}
Thank you in advance for your help.

RafidGenerally, the starred version of floating environments are used to tell LaTeX to span two columns. So, something like:
\begin{table*}
% Table contents
\end{table*}
The same can be done with figures.
In place of tabular
, use tabularx
, for example:
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|c|c|c|c|c|X|}
Sorry, @Rafid, I normally use memoir
, which includes it, so I forgot this bit:
\usepackage{tabularx}
