3 \page table_presentations_page DataTable object
5 <b>DataTable object</b> is a way to represent a two-dimensional data array
6 (data arranged in rows and columns) in Salome. Each column groups values expressed in certain measurement \b units.
7 All \b columns and <b>rows</b> have <b>titles</b>. Tables can be \b
8 rarefied, which means that some cells may be empty, without any
11 <b>DataTable object</b> can be created directly, with the usage of a
12 special programming API (this problem lies out of the scope of Salome
13 GUI Help), or \subpage importing_exporting_tables_page "imported"
14 from properly defined ACSII files.
16 \anchor creating_tables_from_cut_lines
18 \note Alternatively, it is possible to create a table from
19 the scalar values applied to the cells forming a \ref cut_lines_page "Cut Lines"
20 or a \ref cut_segment_page "Cut Segment" presentation. Simply right-click on the
21 presentation in the Object Browser or in the viewer and select <b>Create Table</b>
24 Tables are not displayed automatically. To view the imported table,
25 right-click on it in the Object Brower and select <b>Show Table</b>

30 It is also possible to create
31 \subpage table_3d_page "Table 3D presentation" basing on the table
32 data and display it in the VTK viewer.
34 Another way of exploiting table data is
35 \subpage creating_curves_page "creating curves" and
36 \subpage creating_plot2d_page "displaying them in the Plot 2D viewer".
37 Plot 2D viewer is described in the documentation on GUI module.
