Detailed Description

The jdataview object provides a mechanism to display data in a tabular format.

In Max this is used internally for the implementation of the inspectors, file browser, preferences, and jit.cellblock object, among others.

A jdataview object does not contain the information that it presents. The object you create will maintain the data and then make the data available to the dataview using the provided api.
