nicematrix – Improve the typesetting of mathematical matrices with PGF
This package is based on the package array. It creates PGF/TikZ nodes under the cells of the array and uses these nodes to provide functionalities to construct tabulars, arrays and matrices.
Among the features :
- continuous dotted lines for the mathematical matrices;
- exterior rows and columns (so-called border matrices);
- control of the width of the columns;
- tools to color rows and columns with a good PDF result;
- blocks of cells;
- tabular notes;
- etc.
The package requires and loads l3keys2e, array, amsmath, pgfcore, and the module shapes of PGF.
