update.prTable

Update a <code>prTable</code> object with new entry, block, or hvrule styles,
and/or new scale. This is an internal utility function, not intended to
be called directly by package users.

Presentation-quality tables are displayed as plots on an R
graphics device.  Although there are other packages that format tables
for display, this package is unique in combining two features: (a) It is
aware of the logical structure of the table being presented, and makes
use of that for automatic layout and styling of the table.  This avoids
the need for most manual adjustments to achieve an attractive result.
(b) It displays tables using 'ggplot2' graphics.  Therefore a table can
be presented anywhere a graph could be, with no more effort.  External
software such as LaTeX or HTML or their viewers is not required.  The
package provides a full set of tools to control the style and appearance
of tables, including titles, footnotes and reference marks, horizontal
and vertical rules, and spacing of rows and columns.  Methods are included
to display matrices; data frames; tables created by R's ftable(), table(),
and xtabs() functions; and tables created by the 'tables' and 'xtable'
packages.  Methods can be added to display other table-like objects.  A
vignette is included that illustrates usage and options available in the
package.

<dl> <dt>object</dt>
<dd>A <code>prTable</code> object, a plot-ready table.</dd> <dt>entryStyle, blockStyle, hvruleStyle</dt>
<dd>Optional <code>styleObj</code> objects, specifying new styles for assigning
graphical properties to table entries, blocks, or hvrules. The default
value of NULL leaves the corresponding style of <code>object</code> unchanged.</dd> <dt>scale</dt>
<dd>Optional numeric multiplier used to increase or decrease the displayed
size of table elements, relative to the natural size implied by their
(possibly updated) styles. If it has length two, the first element
applies to entries and blocks, and the second to hvrules. The default is
to use the existing scale value(s) in <code>object</code>.</dd> <dt>...</dt>
