hey there all,

i am using ruby to make some pdf charts, but there is also a data  
table i  
need to put in there.  
i am using pdf/writer and so far so good, but i can’t find anywhere  
that i  
can change the color of the table text. I know that i can use  
text\_color to change the text color  
of the whole table, but i need one row to be red, one blue etc…  
Anyone help me out on this?

thanks
