_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Replace a grob or a descendant of a grob.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     grid.set(gPath, newGrob, strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE, redraw = TRUE) 
     setGrob(gTree, gPath, newGrob, strict = FALSE, grep = FALSE) 

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   gTree: A gTree object.

   gPath: A gPath object. For 'grid.set' this specifyies a grob on the
          display list.  For 'setGrob' this specifies a descendant of
          the specified gTree. 

 newGrob: A grob object. 

  strict: A boolean indicating whether the gPath must be matched
          exactly. 

    grep: A boolean indicating whether the 'gPath' should be treated as
          a regular expression.  Values are recycled across elements of
          the 'gPath' (e.g., 'c(TRUE, FALSE)' means that every odd
          element of the 'gPath' will be treated as a regular
          expression). 

  redraw: A logical value to indicate whether to redraw the grob. 

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     'setGrob' copies the specified grob and returns a modified grob.

     'grid.set' destructively replaces a grob on the display list. If
     'redraw' is 'TRUE' it then redraws everything to reflect the
     change.

     These functions should not normally be called by the user.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'setGrob' returns a grob object;  'grid.set' returns 'NULL'.
