I'm trying to format a text box to look like the simplex tableau in the book
we are using. I can get the Gridbox to put the lines in where I want them,
but I'm having problems with N[]. In some cases, I would like to use N[] on
a matrix to get a decimal representation, but when I do this the output I
get starts using scientific notation? I can't seem to figure out how to
stop this. Any help would be appreciated. The example follows:
In[187]:=
tempM={{1,1,1,0,0,15},{1,2,0,1,0,10},{8,4,0,0,1,32},{-10,-12,0,0,0,0}}
DisplayForm[GridBox[tempM]]
DisplayForm[GridBox[N[tempM]]]
Out[187]=
{{1,1,1,0,0,15},{1,2,0,1,0,10},{8,4,0,0,1,32},{-10,-12,0,0,0,0}}
Out[188]//DisplayForm=
\!\(\*
TagBox[GridBox[{
{"1", "1", "1", "0", "0", "15"},
{"1", "2", "0", "1", "0", "10"},
{"8", "4", "0", "0", "1", "32"},
{\(-10\), \(-12\), "0", "0", "0", "0"}
}],
DisplayForm]\)
Out[189]//DisplayForm=
\!\(\*
TagBox[GridBox[{
{"1.", "1.", "1.", "0.0", "0.0", "15."},
{"1.", "2.", "0.0", "1.", "0.0", \( .1 e2\)},
{"8.", "4.", "0.0", "0.0", "1.", "32."},
{\(\(- .1\) e2\), \(-12. \), "0.0", "0.0", "0.0", "0.0"}
}],
DisplayForm]\)
Thanks,
