Hi, Embarrassingly enough, it was quite straight-forward in the first versions of grid.table(). You might want to try with version r11 for example,
source("http://gridextra.googlecode.com/svn-history/r11/trunk/R/tableGrob.r") library(grid) tc = textConnection(" carat VeryLongWordIndeed color clarity depth 14513 1.35 Ideal J VS2 61.4 28685 0.30 Good G VVS1 64.0 50368 0.75 Ideal F SI2 59.2") d = read.table(tc,head=T) close(tc) grid.newpage() g = grid.table(d) grid.ls(g) grid.edit("top-head-fill-5", gp=gpar(fill="red")) grid.edit("cells-label-33", label=expression(alpha),gp=gpar(col="orange")) As I recall, the reason why this is more difficult now (if at all possible, I have no idea), is that I placed the actual drawing code in a drawDetails method, so that it gets updated on-the-fly, etc. I hope this simpler version will suit you, I might re-include it in the package as an alternative.
