This environment can only be used in math 0146 mode, and normally appears within a displayed mathematics environment 0147 such as <code>equation</code> (see <a href="equation.html#equation">equation</a>). Inside of each row the 0148 column entries are separated by an ampersand, (<code>&</code>). Rows are 0149 terminated with double-backslashes (see <a href="_005c_005c.html#g_t_005c_005c">\\</a>). 0150 </p> 0151 <p>This example shows a three by three array. 0152 </p> 0153 <div class="example"> 0154 <pre class="example">\begin{equation*} 0155 \chi(x) = 0156 \left| % vertical bar fence 0157 \begin{array}{ccc} 0158 x-a &-b &-c \\ 0159 -d &x-e &-f \\ 0160 -g &-h &x-i 0161 \end{array} 0162 \right| 0163 \end{equation*} 0164 </pre></div> 0165 0166 <p>The required argument <var>cols</var> describes the number of columns, their 0167 alignment, and the formatting of the intercolumn regions. For instance, 0168 <code>\begin{array}{rcl}...\end{array}</code> gives three columns: the 0169 first flush right, the second centered, and the third flush left. See 0170 <a href="tabular.html#tabular">tabular</a> for the complete description of <var>cols</var> and of the 0171 other common features of the two environments, including the optional 0172 <var>pos</var> argument. 0173 </p> 0174 <p>There are two ways that <code>array</code> diverges from <code>tabular</code>. The 0175 first is that <code>array</code> entries are typeset in math mode, in 0176 textstyle (see <a href="Modes.html#Modes">Modes</a>) except if the <var>cols</var> definition specifies 0177 the column with <code>p{...}</code>, which causes the entry to be typeset in 0178 text mode. The second is that, instead of <code>tabular</code>’s parameter 0179 <code>\tabcolsep</code>, LaTeX’s intercolumn space in an <code>array</code> is 0180 governed by 0181 <a name="index-_005carraycolsep"></a> 0182 <code>\arraycolsep</code>, which gives half the width between columns. The 0183 default for this is ‘<samp>5pt</samp>’ so that between two columns comes 0184 10pt of space. 0185 </p> 0186 <a name="index-package_002c-amsmath"></a> 0187 <a name="index-amsmath-package"></a> 0188 0189 <p>To obtain arrays with braces the standard is to use the <samp>amsmath</samp> 0190 package. It comes with environments <code>pmatrix</code> for an array 0191 surrounded by parentheses <code>(...)</code>, <code>bmatrix</code> for an array 0192 surrounded by square brackets <code>[...]</code>, <code>Bmatrix</code> for an 0193 array surrounded by curly braces <code>{...}</code>, <code>vmatrix</code> for 0194 an array surrounded by vertical bars <code>|...|</code>, and 0195 <code>Vmatrix</code> for an array surrounded by double vertical 0196 bars <code>||...||</code>, along with a number of other array constructs. 0197 </p> 0198 <a name="index-package_002c-amsmath-1"></a> 0199 <a name="index-amsmath-package-1"></a> 0200 0201 <p>The next example uses the <samp>amsmath</samp> package. 0202 </p> 0203 <div class="example"> 0204 <pre class="example">\usepackage{amsmath} % in preamble 0205 0206 \begin{equation} 0207 \begin{vmatrix}{cc} % array with vert lines 0208 a &b \\ 0209 c &d 0210 \end{vmatrix}=ad-bc 0211 \end{equation} 0212 </pre></div> 0213 0214 <a name="index-package_002c-array-_0028package_0029"></a> 0215 <a name="index-array-_0028package_0029-package"></a> 0216 0217 <a name="index-package_002c-dcolumn"></a> 0218 <a name="index-dcolumn-package"></a> 0219 0220 <p>There are many packages concerning arrays. The <samp>array</samp> package has 0221 many useful extensions, including more column types. The <samp>dcolumn</samp> 0222 package adds a column type to center on a decimal point. For both see 0223 the documentation on CTAN. 0224 </p> 0225 0226 0227 0228 <hr/><div class='referenceinfo'> <a href='https://latexref.xyz/'> <i>Unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual</i></a></div> 0229 </body> 0230 </html>
