I have some numbers which I calculate via some previous code. The calculation works fine. However since I want to compare it with experimental data I only need the numbers to a certain number of significant figures.
As an example I have a tuple of numbers:
l = {0.5567857946, 0.55670214585}
I then round this to 5 s.f using SetPrecision[l, 5]
which when I print it I obtain {0.55679, 0.55670}
which is good, but when I export it to LaTeX and compile it, it is displayed as 0.55679 0.5567
. This is not what I want. The following code is an example of what I use to export to LaTeX.
expdat = {
{"\\begin{tabular}{|c|cc|}"},
{"\\hline"},
{"Output", "&", "$Heading1$", "&", "$Heading2$", "\\\\"},
{"\\hline"},
{"$l$", "&", l[[1 ]], "&", l[[2]], "\\\\"},
{"\\hline"},
{"\\end{tabular}"}
};
Export["data.tex", expdat, "Table"]
This results in the desired LaTeX code which I can input into my document using:
\FloatBarrier
\begin{table}[h]
\centering
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.4}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.5em}
\input{data}
\caption{MyCaption}
\end{table}
\FloatBarrier
Everything comes out fine except I lose the zeroes on the end of my numbers. The LaTeX code itself does not have the zeroes, so the problem lies somewhere within Mathematica/the transfer to LaTeX.
I have tried the following in Mathematica.
PaddedForm[SetPrecision[l, 5], {5, 5}]
but this results in the LaTeX displaying where the first l value should be displaying as a pair of numbers except they are the values of l to arbitrary length. Where the second l value should be is displayed as "5,5". If I change the Mathematica code to
expdat = {
{"\\begin{tabular}{|c|cc|}"},
{"\\hline"},
{"Output", "&", "$Heading1$", "&", "$Heading2$", "\\\\"},
{"\\hline"},
{"$l$", "&", l[[1 ,1]], "&", l[[1, 2]], "\\\\"},
{"\\hline"},
{"\\end{tabular}"}
};
Export["data.tex", expdat, "Table"]
Then I get the same as I did before using PaddedForm.
I have done similar with NumberForm[SetPrecision[l, 5], {5, 5}]
but I get the exact same problem.
Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.
