Summary description: Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars with PGF
Announcement text:
New key 'overlap': with 'overlap=false', the graphical elements in the \CodeAfter are taken into account for the computation of the bounding box of the whole environment. New key 'xdots/number-of-dots' New value 'row-height' for the key 'columns-width' (may be useful for tabulars with actual square cells).
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/nicematrix The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicematrix/

Nicematrix – Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars 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 array, amsmath, pgfcore, and the module shapes of PGF.
