+----AtkTableDetailed Description
AtkTable
should be implemented by components which present elements
ordered via rows and columns. It may also be used to present
tree-structured information if the nodes of the trees can be said to
contain multiple "columns". Individual elements of an AtkTable
are
typically referred to as "cells", and these cells are exposed by
AtkTable
as child AtkObjects
of the AtkTable
. Both row/column and
child-index-based access to these children is provided.
Children of AtkTable
are frequently "lightweight" objects, that is,
they may not have backing widgets in the host UI toolkit. They are
therefore often transient.
Since tables are often very complex, AtkTable
includes provision for
offering simplified summary information, as well as row and column
headers and captions. Headers and captions are AtkObjects
which may
implement other interfaces (AtkText
, AtkImage
, etc.) as appropriate.
AtkTable
summaries may themselves be (simplified) AtkTables
, etc.References
