//
// <etymology>
// "TblAsContourDD" is a implementation of a <linkto class=ActiveCaching2dDD>
// ActiveCaching2dDD </linkto> which provides for the display of data held
// within a table to be displayed as a contour image in an environment where
// individual depictions of the data are automatically cached.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// This class adds to the interface defined in <linkto
// class=DisplayData>DisplayData </linkto>.  It adds the capability to
// display vector/array data from a <linkto class=casacore::Table>Table</linkto>
// column as a contour image.  It is assumed that the Y axis is defined
// to be either the row number of the table column being displayed or
// the scalar value from the same row number in a different table
// column (e.g. plotting intensity as a function of frequency against
// row number or time determined from a different column of the table).
// The X axis is assumed to be a one dimensional array or vector of
// of data for each row in the column being displayed.  It is assumed
// that the length of this array/vector does not change throughout the
// column of the table.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// A TblAsContourDD object could be construed and used as follows:
// <srcblock>
//    TblAsContourDD *tardd1 = 0;
//    tardd1 = new TblAsContourDD("tablename");
//    Colormap cmap1("Hot Metal 2");
//    tardd1->setColormap(&cmap1, 1.0);
//    wcHolder->addDisplayData((DisplayData *)tardd1);
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// To allow the display of data from a table as a contour image.

// <todo asof="2000/10/30">
//   <li> make sure complex data are handled correctly
//   <li> make sure table column units can be determined properly
//   <li> make sure a scalar table column can be used for y axis
//   <li> extend to n-dimensional arrays in table column
//   <li> when constructed with *table we need to keep table from being deleted
//   <li> handle movie axis once ActiveCachingNDim exists
//   <li> implement showValue()
// </todo>
