%% We start it easy. Just build a table line by line.
%% Well not THAT easy. We do not really want only line by line
%% building, after all.
%% To build entries field by field we have to split also
%% the following \hline into 3 \cline commands to be able to
%% insert \pause commands in between. And, it works!
%% Make the last two lines build bottom up counting down the steps
%% after advancing enough steps (keep in mind, that the preceding
%% \pause has advanced by one already; but it would not really pose
%% a problem, if you advance too much: levels without new parts
%% will be omitted, when the pages are built, so it will cost you only
%% some processing time).

%% Now let a table build column by colum, just inserting the \pause
%% commands into the specification line.
%% Advance for each column content and reset level to 1 for each
%% vertical line. Easy, isn't it?
\foilhead{Filling tables}
\toptarget{filltable}

    the & the & also\\\hline
    first & second, & the \\\hline
    column, & and & third. \\\hline
  \end{tabular}\pause
\end{center}

%% Next we build a similar table, but want it  to appear column by
%% column, including the border lines.
%% The first column will appear immediately. The second and third will
%% have their \pause created through the tabular pattern.
%% The hardest part is again, to break the vertical lines.
%% We define a special command for that, which resets the level
%% for the number of columns and then places the pieces in the
%% same steps as the column entries are built. Finally we must reset
%% the level counter for the next line of entries. And that's it.

%% Now try this selecting "random" builds. Actually we must reset the
%% level for each vertical line and the \hrules by setting the level
%% after each entry through the specification line. Because the \pause
%% is also inserted magically, we need to specify only, when what
%% item should appear. Let's color the items to make the text at least
%% somewhat "readable".
%% As a special effect let one item vanish...
