\title{ Concatenate Grob Names }
\description{
  This function can be used to generate a grob path for use
  in \code{grid.edit} and friends.

  A grob path is a list of nested grob names.
}
\usage{
gPath(...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{\dots}{ Character values which are grob names. }
}
\details{
  Grob names must only be unique amongst grobs which
  share the same parent in a gTree.

  This function can be used to generate a specification for
  a grob that includes the grob's parent's name
  (and the name of its parent and so on).

  For interactive use, it is possible to directly specify
  a path, but it is strongly recommended that this function
  is used otherwise in case the path separator is changed
  in future versions of grid.

\value{
