Interface TableModel

Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractTableModel, DefaultTableModel

public interface TableModel

A TableModel is a two dimensional data structure that can store arbitrary Object instances, usually for the purpose of display in a JTable component. Individual objects can be accessed by specifying the row index and column index for the object. Each column in the model has a name associated with it.

The DefaultTableModel class provides one implementation of this interface.
