Writing text next to a table
How about this, based on bigdelim
and makecell
? The margin for the caption was obtained by trial and error – it depends on the text of the last column.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{caption, booktabs, bigdelim, makecell}%
\renewcommand{\theadfont}{\normalsize\bfseries}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[!htb]
\centering
\captionsetup{margin={0pt,28mm},skip=6pt}
\caption{HAILO}
\begin{tabular}{r r r c@{}l}
\cmidrule[\heavyrulewidth]{1-3}
\thead{strength} & \thead{region} & \thead{comments} & \rdelim\updownarrow{7}{*} & Landau limit \\
\cmidrule{1-3}
$H_B \ll H_0$ & Landau levels \\
$ H_B \lessapprox H_0 $& $n$-mixing & $n$ not good\\
& $\ell$-lmixing & $\ell$ not good \\
$H_B \ll B_0$ & Paschen-Back regime & $J$ noot good, $L$ and $S$ good \\
& Intermediate regime & $J$ and $I$ good, $F$ not good \\
& Zeeman effect & $F$ good \\
\cmidrule[\heavyrulewidth]{1-3}
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
Without use of booktabs for the table (but clines
instead) and with use of tikz with a n arrow that its height is found with tests:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
$% Use `\left.` if don't want arrow on this side.
\begin{tabular}[t]{r r r c l}\cline{1-3}
\multicolumn{1}{c}{strength} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{region} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{comments} &\multirow{6}{*}{\begin{tikzpicture}\draw[<->](0,0)--(0,2.9cm);\end{tikzpicture}}&Landau limit\\
\cline{1-3}
$H_B \ll H_0$ & Landau levels &&\\
$ H_B \lessapprox H_0 $& $n$-mixing & $n$ not good&&\\
& $\ell$-lmixing & $\ell$ not good &&\\
$H_B \ll B_0$ & Paschen-Back regime & $J$ noot good, $L$ and $S$ good &&\\
& Intermediate regime & $J$ and $I$ good, $F$ not good &&\\
& Zeeman effect & $F$ good &&\\
\cline{1-3}
\end{tabular}
\rotatebox[origin=100]{0}{}$
\captionof{table}{HAILO}
\end{center}
\end{document}
Output:
PS: Just as a start...
(Needed packages for OP's non working example:
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{rotating}
and
\usepackage{caption}
for the fix with \captionof{table}
instead of \caption{}
)
For the $\left...$
effect one needs a [c]
tabular. But to align the text, one need a [t]
tabular. So I measured the [t]
tabular and used \raisebox
and \rule
to fake a centered object with the right size. Finally, the top baseline of the tabular is actually \toprule
, so I had to put the text into the second line of another tabular.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{caption, booktabs, graphics}%
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\sbox0{\begin{tabular}[t]{r r r}

\multicolumn{1}{c}{strength} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{region} & \multicolumn{1}{c}{comments} \\
