Beamer use Tikz to Highlight Certain Parts of Tables

EDIT: I CHANGED THE SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE BLOG AND THE CODE BLOCK BELOW GOT MESSED UP. ALL SLASHES WERE GONE. I TRIED TO FIX IT MANUALLY. BEWARE

I did my proposal yesterday and it went well 😀

I used beamer to prepare my slide deck and was very pleased with how easy it was to work with. R already has functionality to export tables to Latex format and they looked gorgeous in beamer.

I wanted to highlight certain parts of the results table and discuss the results as they relate to hypothesis. I achieved this through tikzmarkin and tikspicture. Below is an example and above is how it looks.

\documentclass{beamer}

% for themes, etc.

mode<presentation>

\usetheme{CambridgeUS}

\usecolortheme{beaver}

\usepackage{times} % fonts are up to you

\usepackage{graphicx}

% The usual suspects

\usepackage{multirow, booktabs, dcolumn, color} % Tables

% The table highlighting for hypothesis discussion.

\usepackage[beamer,customcolors]{hf-tikz}

\usetikzlibrary{calc}

% To set the hypothesis highlighting boxes red.

\tikzset{hl/.style={

   set fill color=red!80!black!40,

   set border color=red!80!black,

   },

}
