wie helpt met gekleurde tabel...

[W.H. Dekker]

Colored table are too difficult for me, yet. I'm tryin g to generate a
table from Perl with cells containing numbers >2 colored light gray,
and cells with numbers >3 colored dark gray.

In the following example, lines 1, 2, 3 and 5 should contain colored
cells.  Line 1 is OK, line 2, with the same treatment, stays white,
line 3 is OK again and line 5 stays white.

Can anybody explain? 

Another problem: the second column is numerical, and this works. But
if I replace the next c-key with N[00.0], things go wrong.

Coloring is very difficult in Tables, and depends on a lot of trickery.

I'll look at it later.

Hm. I'll look at it. 

======================= Now how about this one ====================

=================================================================

Knowing you, you can also generate this by your script. (Putting \Check
for each entry is also possible, or putting whatever command in a cell;
ask if you don't understand what I'm saying.) 

That way you can also put rules around an entry or even pictures behind
them.
