如何在两个表之间添加箭头？

    \documentclass[english]{IEEEtran}
    \usepackage{booktabs}

        \begin{document}

    \begin{table*}[!htb]

    \large\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.1pt}
     \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
    \centering
    \caption{First Table}
    \label{tab:first_table}

   \medskip
    \begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Start} & \textbf{Interval Time} & \textbf{Destination} \\
\midrule
Zone 1 & $483$ & Zone 2 \\
Zone 1 & $848$ & Zone 3  \\
Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
  Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
  Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
\bottomrule
   \end{tabular}   

    \end{minipage}\hfill
   \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}
 \centering

 \caption{Second Table}
  \label{tab:second_table}

\medskip

 \begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule
  \textbf{Start} & \textbf{Interval Time} & \textbf{Destination} \\
\midrule
Zone 1 & $483$ & Zone 2 \\
Zone 1 & $848$ & Zone 3  \\
Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
  Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
  Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
   \bottomrule
   \end{tabular}   
   \end{minipage}\hfill

    \end{table*}

   \end{document}

Answer 1

这很简单，你需要在第一个表格后添加一个 \Rightarrow。因为我有时间做这件事，所以它如下：

\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\caption{First Table}
\label{tab:first_table}
 \medskip
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Start} & \textbf{Interval Time} & \textbf{Destination} \\
\midrule
Zone 1 & $483$ & Zone 2 \\
Zone 1 & $848$ & Zone 3  \\
Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
Zone 1 & $121$ & Zone 4  \\
Zone 2 & $13$ & Zone 3 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular} 
\end{minipage}
$\Rightarrow$

Answer 2

使用tikzmark，编译两次。

箭头位于表格（垂直）中间，包括标题。如果您希望垂直对齐方式仅位于表格内容的中间（不包括标题），则可以更改垂直对齐方式。

我还对表格布局做了一些改进（但我认为>{$}c<{$}根本不需要数字）。

\documentclass[english]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{array}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.2}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{$}c<{$}}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark, shapes.arrows}
\usepackage{caption}

        \large
        \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
            \centering

            \label{tab:first_table}
            \tikzmarknode{A}{%contents
            \begin{tabular}{cCc}
                \toprule
                \textbf{Start} & \makecell{\textbf{Interval}\\ \textbf{Time}} 
                & \textbf{Destination} 
                \\
                \midrule
                Zone 1 & 483 & Zone 2 \\
                Zone 1 & 848 & Zone 3  \\
                Zone 1 & 121 & Zone 4  \\
                Zone 2 & 13 & Zone 3 \\
                Zone 1 & 121 & Zone 4  \\
                Zone 2 & 13 & Zone 3 \\
                Zone 1 & 121 & Zone 4  \\
                Zone 2 & 13 & Zone 3 \\
                \bottomrule
            \end{tabular}}   
        \end{minipage}\hfill
        \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth}

                & \textbf{Destination} 
                \\
                \midrule
                Zone 1 & 483 & Zone 2 \\
                Zone 1 & 848 & Zone 3  \\
                Zone 1 & 121 & Zone 4  \\

                Zone 1 & 121 & Zone 4  \\
                Zone 2 & 13 & Zone 3 \\
                \bottomrule
            \end{tabular}}   
        \end{minipage}
    \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]

    \end{tikzpicture}

编辑：先前的解决方案需要 2018/10/18 起的 v1.6 tikzmark（或最新版本）。

对于使用旧版本的用户，这里有一个纯 TikZ 解决方案：
