I am stuck with the following problem. Inside an \halign (table) I can insert a colored rule with: \noalign{\color[red]{\hrule height#1 depth\zeropoint}} Now I want something more involved like: \color[red]{\hrule height#1 width2mm}% fixed length colored block \color[black]{\hrule height#1}% filling the width left \color[red]{\hrule height#1 width2mm}% fixed length colored block producing [red][black black black …][red] However, this doesn't work. I tried various options as: enclosing in \vbox, \hbox, box with leaders. Nothing worked out. Is there some guru who knows how to accomplish this? Hans van der Meer
