Zebra striping — also known as candy striping or half-shadow — is the application of faint shading to alternate lines or rows in data tables or forms.
| Many believe that zebra stripes |
| aid the reader by |
| guiding the eye along the row. However, |
| despite being in use in both paper and |
| electronic mediums for almost |
| half a century, there is practically |
| no evidence that it actually |
| assists users in this way. |
