I want to write one line of text in a booktabs table containing a TikZ drawing that is higher than the line-height.
Per default the text is vertically aligned with the baseline of the TikZ drawing.
I want it to be vertically aligned with the middle of the TikZ drawing.

Here is my code:

documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{scrartcl}



usepackage{xcolor}

definecolor{HighlightColor}{RGB}{255,173,97}



usepackage{booktabs}

usepackage[radius=.09cm,edgeLength=1.5cm]{dynkin-diagrams}

usepackage[left=3cm, right=3cm, top=4cm]{geometry}

usepackage{mathtools}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{amsmath}

usepackage{amsfonts}

usepackage{tikz-cd}





newcommand{R}{mathbb{R}}

newcommand{SL}{operatorname{SL}}

newcommand{SO}{operatorname{SO}}



usepackage{graphbox}



begin{document}





begin{center}

begin{tabular}[c]{p{1cm}cp{3cm}}

toprule

$Phi$  & 

Dynkin diagram & 

Symmetric space 

\

midrule

$Phi_3$ & vspace{1cm}

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) arc (90:270:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (1.5,-0.5) arc (270:450:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) -- (1.5,0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,-0.5) -- (1.5,-0.5);

dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{B}{3};

end{tikzpicture}

$rightarrow$

begin{tikzpicture}

dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{A}{2};

end{tikzpicture}

&

$SL(3,R)/SO(3)$

\

bottomrule

end{tabular}

end{center}



end{document}

You can vertically center any picture without guessing values by a simple macro: newcommand{ctikz}[1]{$vcenter{hbox{#1}}$}. Just use ctikz{<your picture>}. Also, no need for manual vspace{1cm}.

newcommand{ctikz}[1]{$vcenter{hbox{#1}}$}



begin{center}

begin{tabular}{p{1cm} c p{3cm}}

toprule

$Phi$   & Dynkin diagram & Symmetric space \

midrule

$Phi_3$ & %vspace{1cm}

ctikz{%

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) arc (90:270:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (1.5,-0.5) arc (270:450:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) -- (1.5,0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,-0.5) -- (1.5,-0.5);

dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{B}{3};

end{tikzpicture}

}

$rightarrow$

ctikz{%

begin{tikzpicture}

dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{A}{2};

end{tikzpicture}

}

&

$SL(3,R)/SO(3)$

\

bottomrule

end{tabular}

end{center}

Use the baseline option for the first picture, as described here:

begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=-0.7ex] %<--- adjust as desired

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) arc (90:270:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (1.5,-0.5) arc (270:450:0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,0.5) -- (1.5,0.5);

draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick] (0,-0.5) -- (1.5,-0.5);

dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{B}{3};

end{tikzpicture}

Remove (or adjust) the vspace{1cm} that you added if you want to get rid of the extra space below the picture.

an alternative, as exercise of use dynkin package:

documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{scrartcl}

usepackage[hmargin=3cm, top=4cm]{geometry}



usepackage{xcolor}

definecolor{HighlightColor}{RGB}{255,173,97}

usepackage{booktabs}

usepackage[radius=.09cm,edgeLength=1.5cm]{dynkin-diagrams}

usepackage{mathtools}  % it also loads amsmath

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{amsfonts}





newcommand{R}{mathbb{R}}

newcommand{SL}{operatorname{SL}}

newcommand{SO}{operatorname{SO}}



usepackage{graphbox}



begin{document}

    begin{center}

begin{tabular}{p{1cm}cp{3cm}}

    toprule

$Phi$      &   Dynkin diagram  &   Symmetric space     \

midrule

$Phi_3$    &   begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=-0.75ex]

                draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick]  (0.0,-0.5) arc (270:90:0.5) --

                                                            (1.5, 0.5) arc (90:-90:0.5) -- cycle;

                dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}] {B}{3};

                draw[->] (3.3,0) -- + (0.5,0);

                scoped[xshift=41mm]dynkin[mark=o,text/.style={scale=1.2}]{A}{2};

                end{tikzpicture}

                                &   $SL(3,R)/SO(3)$  \

    bottomrule

end{tabular}

    end{center}

end{document}

I made a few changes to the dynkin-diagrams package recently, which sadly mess up Zarko's code above. Here are the little changes you need to make to get it working again.

documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{scrartcl}

usepackage{xcolor}

definecolor{HighlightColor}{RGB}{255,173,97}

usepackage{booktabs}

usepackage[radius=.09cm,edge-length=1.5cm,mark=o]{dynkin-diagrams}

newcommand{R}{mathbb{R}}

newcommand{SL}[1]{operatorname{SL}(#1,R{})}

newcommand{SO}[1]{operatorname{SO}(#1)}

begin{document}

begin{center}

begin{tabular}{p{1cm}cp{3cm}}

toprule

$Phi$      &   Dynkin diagram  &   Symmetric space     \

midrule

$Phi_3$    &   

                begin{dynkinDiagram}{B}{3}

                draw[HighlightColor,densely dotted,thick]  

                (0.0,-0.5) arc (270:90:0.5) --

                (1.5, 0.5) arc (90:-90:0.5) -- cycle;

                end{dynkinDiagram}

                tikz[baseline=-0.5ex] draw[->] (3.3,0) -- + (0.5,0);

                dynkin{A}{2}

                                &   $SL{3}/SO{3}$  \

bottomrule
