I'd like to create a table where the background color of the rows changes every n>1
rows. I have seen in wikibooks how alternate rows can have different colors and I have looked at one xcolor
documentation I found online at math.washginton.edu but I can't figure out how I can have the rowcolor to change every n
rows, say every 5 rows.
Also, would it possible to define some sequence, say {4,9,11..} which will tell LaTeX at which row # to switch colors? That way if my observations are unbalanced then I can still highlight the backgrounds differently. What I mean by this is that if I have 3 rows of data from model-1 and 5 rows of data from Model-2 and 2 rows of data from Model-3 then the first 3 rows of my table can be white, the next 5 can be gray and the next 2 rows can be white again and so on..for improved readability, which I need because I have a ton of numbers, which I guess most tables have. 🙂
Right now I am laboriously writing \rowcolor{}
in front of any row that I'd like colored.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This shows one way of adding a counter that increments every row and then having an arbitrary set of tests to switch colours on some condition. This starts off with no background switches to green on row 4 stays green until row 7 when it switches to blue, goes back to no background at row 13, then cycles round again every 20 rows.
