Presentation

The LaTeX package nicematrix provides new environments similar to the classical environments {tabular}, {array} and {matrix} but with some additional features. The extension nicematrix creates PGF/Tikz nodes corresponding to the cells of the array and uses them to provide new functionalities.

This package can be used with xelatex, lualatex, pdflatex but also by the classical workflow latex-dvips-ps2pdf (or Adobe Distiller).

Installation

The package nicematrix is present in the distributions MiKTeX, TeX Live and MacTeX.
