      public class JTable
      extends JComponent
      implements TableModelListener, Scrollable, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener, Accessible, RowSorterListener

  The `JTable` is used to display and edit regular two-dimensional tables of cells. See How to Use Tables in The Java Tutorial for task-oriented documentation and examples of using `JTable`.

  The `JTable` has many facilities that make it possible to customize its rendering and editing but provides defaults for these features so that simple tables can be set up easily. For example, to set up a table with 10 rows and 10 columns of numbers:

            TableModel dataModel = new AbstractTableModel() {
                public int getColumnCount() { return 10; }
                public int getRowCount() { return 10;}
                public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) { return new Integer(row*col); }
            };
            JTable table = new JTable(dataModel);
            JScrollPane scrollpane = new JScrollPane(table);

  `JTable`s are typically placed inside of a `JScrollPane`. By default, a `JTable` will adjust its width such that a horizontal scrollbar is unnecessary. To allow for a horizontal scrollbar, invoke `setAutoResizeMode(int)` with `AUTO_RESIZE_OFF`. Note that if you wish to use a `JTable` in a standalone view (outside of a `JScrollPane`) and want the header displayed, you can get it using `getTableHeader()` and display it separately.

  To enable sorting and filtering of rows, use a `RowSorter`. You can set up a row sorter in either of two ways:

  - Directly set the `RowSorter`. For example: `table.setRowSorter(new TableRowSorter(model))`.
  - Set the `autoCreateRowSorter` property to `true`, so that the `JTable` creates a `RowSorter` for you. For example: `setAutoCreateRowSorter(true)`.

  When designing applications that use the `JTable` it is worth paying close attention to the data structures that will represent the table's data. The `DefaultTableModel` is a model implementation that uses a `Vector` of `Vector`s of `Object`s to store the cell values. As well as copying the data from an application into the `DefaultTableModel`, it is also possible to wrap the data in the methods of the `TableModel` interface so that the data can be passed to the `JTable` directly, as in the example above. This often results in more efficient applications because the model is free to choose the internal representation that best suits the data. A good rule of thumb for deciding whether to use the `AbstractTableModel` or the `DefaultTableModel` is to use the `AbstractTableModel` as the base class for creating subclasses and the `DefaultTableModel` when subclassing is not required.

  The "TableExample" directory in the demo area of the source distribution gives a number of complete examples of `JTable` usage, covering how the `JTable` can be used to provide an editable view of data taken from a database and how to modify the columns in the display to use specialized renderers and editors.

  The `JTable` uses integers exclusively to refer to both the rows and the columns of the model that it displays. The `JTable` simply takes a tabular range of cells and uses `getValueAt(int, int)` to retrieve the values from the model during painting. It is important to remember that the column and row indexes returned by various `JTable` methods are in terms of the `JTable` (the view) and are not necessarily the same indexes used by the model.

  By default, columns may be rearranged in the `JTable` so that the view's columns appear in a different order to the columns in the model. This does not affect the implementation of the model at all: when the columns are reordered, the `JTable` maintains the new order of the columns internally and converts its column indices before querying the model.

  So, when writing a `TableModel`, it is not necessary to listen for column reordering events as the model will be queried in its own coordinate system regardless of what is happening in the view. In the examples area there is a demonstration of a sorting algorithm making use of exactly this technique to interpose yet another coordinate system where the order of the rows is changed, rather than the order of the columns.

  Similarly when using the sorting and filtering functionality provided by `RowSorter` the underlying `TableModel` does not need to know how to do sorting, rather `RowSorter` will handle it. Coordinate conversions will be necessary when using the row based methods of `JTable` with the underlying `TableModel`. All of `JTable`s row based methods are in terms of the `RowSorter`, which is not necessarily the same as that of the underlying `TableModel`. For example, the selection is always in terms of `JTable` so that when using `RowSorter` you will need to convert using `convertRowIndexToView` or `convertRowIndexToModel`. The following shows how to convert coordinates from `JTable` to that of the underlying model:

         int[] selection = table.getSelectedRows();
         for (int i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
           selection[i] = table.convertRowIndexToModel(selection[i]);
         }
         // selection is now in terms of the underlying TableModel

  By default if sorting is enabled `JTable` will persist the selection and variable row heights in terms of the model on sorting. For example if row 0, in terms of the underlying model, is currently selected, after the sort row 0, in terms of the underlying model will be selected. Visually the selection may change, but in terms of the underlying model it will remain the same. The one exception to that is if the model index is no longer visible or was removed. For example, if row 0 in terms of model was filtered out the selection will be empty after the sort.

  J2SE 5 adds methods to `JTable` to provide convenient access to some common printing needs. Simple new `print()` methods allow for quick and easy addition of printing support to your application. In addition, a new `getPrintable(javax.swing.JTable.PrintMode, java.text.MessageFormat, java.text.MessageFormat)` method is available for more advanced printing needs.

  As for all `JComponent` classes, you can use `InputMap` and `ActionMap` to associate an `Action` object with a `KeyStroke` and execute the action under specified conditions.

  Warning: Swing is not thread safe. For more information see Swing's Threading Policy.

  Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeansTM has been added to the `java.beans` package. Please see `XMLEncoder`.

      See Also:
        `configureEnclosingScrollPane()`

    - #### configureEnclosingScrollPane

          protected void configureEnclosingScrollPane()

      If this `JTable` is the `viewportView` of an enclosing `JScrollPane` (the usual situation), configure this `ScrollPane` by, amongst other things, installing the table's `tableHeader` as the `columnHeaderView` of the scroll pane. When a `JTable` is added to a `JScrollPane` in the usual way, using `new JScrollPane(myTable)`, `addNotify` is called in the `JTable` (when the table is added to the viewport). `JTable`'s `addNotify` method in turn calls this method, which is protected so that this default installation procedure can be overridden by a subclass.
      See Also:
        `addNotify()`

    - #### removeNotify

          public void removeNotify()

      Calls the `unconfigureEnclosingScrollPane` method.

    - #### getAutoCreateColumnsFromModel

          public boolean getAutoCreateColumnsFromModel()

      Determines whether the table will create default columns from the model. If true, `setModel` will clear any existing columns and create new columns from the new model. Also, if the event in the `tableChanged` notification specifies that the entire table changed, then the columns will be rebuilt. The default is true.
      Returns:
        the autoCreateColumnsFromModel of the table
      See Also:
        `setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(boolean)`, `createDefaultColumnsFromModel()`

    - #### createDefaultColumnsFromModel

          public void createDefaultColumnsFromModel()

      Creates default columns for the table from the data model using the `getColumnCount` method defined in the `TableModel` interface.

      Clears any existing columns before creating the new columns based on information from the model.

        `getAutoCreateColumnsFromModel()`

    - #### setDefaultRenderer

          public void setDefaultRenderer(Class<?> columnClass,
                                TableCellRenderer renderer)

      Sets a default cell renderer to be used if no renderer has been set in a `TableColumn`. If renderer is `null`, removes the default renderer for this column class.
      Parameters:
        `columnClass` - set the default cell renderer for this columnClass
        `renderer` - default cell renderer to be used for this columnClass
      See Also:
        `getDefaultRenderer(java.lang.Class<?>)`, `setDefaultEditor(java.lang.Class<?>, javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor)`

    - #### getDefaultRenderer

          public TableCellRenderer getDefaultRenderer(Class<?> columnClass)

      Returns the cell renderer to be used when no renderer has been set in a `TableColumn`. During the rendering of cells the renderer is fetched from a `Hashtable` of entries according to the class of the cells in the column. If there is no entry for this `columnClass` the method returns the entry for the most specific superclass. The `JTable` installs entries for `Object`, `Number`, and `Boolean`, all of which can be modified or replaced.
      Parameters:
        `columnClass` - return the default cell renderer for this columnClass
      Returns:
        the renderer for this columnClass
      See Also:
        `setDefaultRenderer(java.lang.Class<?>, javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer)`, `getColumnClass(int)`

    - #### setDefaultEditor

          public void setDefaultEditor(Class<?> columnClass,
                              TableCellEditor editor)

      Sets a default cell editor to be used if no editor has been set in a `TableColumn`. If no editing is required in a table, or a particular column in a table, uses the `isCellEditable` method in the `TableModel` interface to ensure that this `JTable` will not start an editor in these columns. If editor is `null`, removes the default editor for this column class.
      Parameters:
        `columnClass` - set the default cell editor for this columnClass
        `editor` - default cell editor to be used for this columnClass
      See Also:
        `TableModel.isCellEditable(int, int)`, `getDefaultEditor(java.lang.Class<?>)`, `setDefaultRenderer(java.lang.Class<?>, javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer)`

    - #### getDefaultEditor

          public TableCellEditor getDefaultEditor(Class<?> columnClass)

      Returns the editor to be used when no editor has been set in a `TableColumn`. During the editing of cells the editor is fetched from a `Hashtable` of entries according to the class of the cells in the column. If there is no entry for this `columnClass` the method returns the entry for the most specific superclass. The `JTable` installs entries for `Object`, `Number`, and `Boolean`, all of which can be modified or replaced.
      Parameters:
        `columnClass` - return the default cell editor for this columnClass
      Returns:
        the default cell editor to be used for this columnClass
      See Also:
        `setDefaultEditor(java.lang.Class<?>, javax.swing.table.TableCellEditor)`, `getColumnClass(int)`

    - #### setDragEnabled

          public void setDragEnabled(boolean b)

      Turns on or off automatic drag handling. In order to enable automatic drag handling, this property should be set to `true`, and the table's `TransferHandler` needs to be `non-null`. The default value of the `dragEnabled` property is `false`.

      The job of honoring this property, and recognizing a user drag gesture, lies with the look and feel implementation, and in particular, the table's `TableUI`. When automatic drag handling is enabled, most look and feels (including those that subclass `BasicLookAndFeel`) begin a drag and drop operation whenever the user presses the mouse button over an item (in single selection mode) or a selection (in other selection modes) and then moves the mouse a few pixels. Setting this property to `true` can therefore have a subtle effect on how selections behave.

      If a look and feel is used that ignores this property, you can still begin a drag and drop operation by calling `exportAsDrag` on the table's `TransferHandler`.

      Parameters:
        `b` - whether or not to enable automatic drag handling
      Throws:
        `HeadlessException` - if `b` is `true` and `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()` returns `true`
      Since:
        1.4
      See Also:
        `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless()`, `getDragEnabled()`, `JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)`, `TransferHandler`

    - #### getDragEnabled

          public boolean getDragEnabled()

      Returns whether or not automatic drag handling is enabled.
      Returns:
        the value of the `dragEnabled` property
      Since:
        1.4
      See Also:
        `setDragEnabled(boolean)`

    - #### setDropMode

          public final void setDropMode(DropMode dropMode)

      Sets the drop mode for this component. For backward compatibility, the default for this property is `DropMode.USE_SELECTION`. Usage of one of the other modes is recommended, however, for an improved user experience. `DropMode.ON`, for instance, offers similar behavior of showing items as selected, but does so without affecting the actual selection in the table.

      `JTable` supports the following drop modes:

      - `DropMode.USE_SELECTION`
      - `DropMode.ON`
      - `DropMode.INSERT`
      - `DropMode.INSERT_ROWS`
      - `DropMode.INSERT_COLS`
      - `DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT`
      - `DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT_ROWS`
      - `DropMode.ON_OR_INSERT_COLS`

      The drop mode is only meaningful if this component has a `TransferHandler` that accepts drops.

      Parameters:
        `dropMode` - the drop mode to use
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if the drop mode is unsupported or `null`
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `getDropMode()`, `getDropLocation()`, `JComponent.setTransferHandler(javax.swing.TransferHandler)`, `TransferHandler`

    - #### getDropMode

          public final DropMode getDropMode()

      Returns the drop mode for this component.
      Returns:
        the drop mode for this component
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode)`

    - #### getDropLocation

          public final JTable.DropLocation getDropLocation()

      Returns the location that this component should visually indicate as the drop location during a DnD operation over the component, or `null` if no location is to currently be shown.

      This method is not meant for querying the drop location from a `TransferHandler`, as the drop location is only set after the `TransferHandler`'s `canImport` has returned and has allowed for the location to be shown.

      When this property changes, a property change event with name "dropLocation" is fired by the component.

      Returns:
        the drop location
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `setDropMode(javax.swing.DropMode)`, `TransferHandler.canImport(TransferHandler.TransferSupport)`

    - #### setAutoCreateRowSorter

          public void setAutoCreateRowSorter(boolean autoCreateRowSorter)

      Specifies whether a `RowSorter` should be created for the table whenever its model changes.

      When `setAutoCreateRowSorter(true)` is invoked, a `TableRowSorter` is immediately created and installed on the table. While the `autoCreateRowSorter` property remains `true`, every time the model is changed, a new `TableRowSorter` is created and set as the table's row sorter.

      Parameters:
        `autoCreateRowSorter` - whether or not a `RowSorter` should be automatically created
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `TableRowSorter`

    - #### getAutoCreateRowSorter

          public boolean getAutoCreateRowSorter()

      Returns `true` if whenever the model changes, a new `RowSorter` should be created and installed as the table's sorter; otherwise, returns `false`.
      Returns:
        true if a `RowSorter` should be created when the model changes
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### setUpdateSelectionOnSort

          public void setUpdateSelectionOnSort(boolean update)

      Specifies whether the selection should be updated after sorting. If true, on sorting the selection is reset such that the same rows, in terms of the model, remain selected. The default is true.
      Parameters:
        `update` - whether or not to update the selection on sorting
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### getUpdateSelectionOnSort

          public boolean getUpdateSelectionOnSort()

      Returns true if the selection should be updated after sorting.
      Returns:
        whether to update the selection on a sort
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### setRowSorter

          public void setRowSorter(RowSorter<? extends TableModel> sorter)

      Sets the `RowSorter`. `RowSorter` is used to provide sorting and filtering to a `JTable`.

      This method clears the selection and resets any variable row heights.

      This method fires a `PropertyChangeEvent` when appropriate, with the property name `"rowSorter"`. For backward-compatibility, this method fires an additional event with the property name `"sorter"`.

      If the underlying model of the `RowSorter` differs from that of this `JTable` undefined behavior will result.

      Parameters:
        `sorter` - the `RowSorter`; `null` turns sorting off
      Since:
        1.6
      See Also:
        `TableRowSorter`

    - #### getRowSorter

          public RowSorter<? extends TableModel> getRowSorter()

      Returns the object responsible for sorting.
      Returns:
        the object responsible for sorting
      Since:
        1.6

    - #### setSelectionMode

          public void setSelectionMode(int selectionMode)

      Sets the table's selection mode to allow only single selections, a single contiguous interval, or multiple intervals.

      Note: `JTable` provides all the methods for handling column and row selection. When setting states, such as `setSelectionMode`, it not only updates the mode for the row selection model but also sets similar values in the selection model of the `columnModel`. If you want to have the row and column selection models operating in different modes, set them both directly.

      Both the row and column selection models for `JTable` default to using a `DefaultListSelectionModel` so that `JTable` works the same way as the `JList`. See the `setSelectionMode` method in `JList` for details about the modes.

      See Also:
        `JList.setSelectionMode(int)`

    - #### setRowSelectionAllowed

          public void setRowSelectionAllowed(boolean rowSelectionAllowed)

      Sets whether the rows in this model can be selected.
      Parameters:
        `rowSelectionAllowed` - true if this model will allow row selection
      See Also:
        `getRowSelectionAllowed()`

    - #### getRowSelectionAllowed

          public boolean getRowSelectionAllowed()

      Returns true if rows can be selected.
      Returns:
        true if rows can be selected, otherwise false
      See Also:
        `setRowSelectionAllowed(boolean)`

    - #### setColumnSelectionAllowed

          public void setColumnSelectionAllowed(boolean columnSelectionAllowed)

      Sets whether the columns in this model can be selected.
      Parameters:
        `columnSelectionAllowed` - true if this model will allow column selection
      See Also:
        `getColumnSelectionAllowed()`

    - #### getColumnSelectionAllowed

          public boolean getColumnSelectionAllowed()

      Returns true if columns can be selected.
      Returns:
        true if columns can be selected, otherwise false
      See Also:
        `setColumnSelectionAllowed(boolean)`

    - #### setCellSelectionEnabled

          public void setCellSelectionEnabled(boolean cellSelectionEnabled)

      Sets whether this table allows both a column selection and a row selection to exist simultaneously. When set, the table treats the intersection of the row and column selection models as the selected cells. Override `isCellSelected` to change this default behavior. This method is equivalent to setting both the `rowSelectionAllowed` property and `columnSelectionAllowed` property of the `columnModel` to the supplied value.
      Parameters:
        `cellSelectionEnabled` - true if simultaneous row and column selection is allowed
      See Also:
        `getCellSelectionEnabled()`, `isCellSelected(int, int)`

    - #### getCellSelectionEnabled

                             boolean toggle,
                             boolean extend)

      Updates the selection models of the table, depending on the state of the two flags: `toggle` and `extend`. Most changes to the selection that are the result of keyboard or mouse events received by the UI are channeled through this method so that the behavior may be overridden by a subclass. Some UIs may need more functionality than this method provides, such as when manipulating the lead for discontiguous selection, and may not call into this method for some selection changes.

      This implementation uses the following conventions:

      - `toggle`: false, `extend`: false. Clear the previous selection and ensure the new cell is selected.
      - `toggle`: false, `extend`: true. Extend the previous selection from the anchor to the specified cell, clearing all other selections.
      - `toggle`: true, `extend`: false. If the specified cell is selected, deselect it. If it is not selected, select it.
      - `toggle`: true, `extend`: true. Apply the selection state of the anchor to all cells between it and the specified cell.
      Parameters:
        `rowIndex` - affects the selection at `row`
        `columnIndex` - affects the selection at `column`
        `toggle` - see description above
        `extend` - if true, extend the current selection

    - #### getRowCount

          public int getRowCount()

    - #### getValueAt

          public Object getValueAt(int row,
                          int column)

      Returns the cell value at `row` and `column`.

      Note: The column is specified in the table view's display order, and not in the `TableModel`'s column order. This is an important distinction because as the user rearranges the columns in the table, the column at a given index in the view will change. Meanwhile the user's actions never affect the model's column ordering.

      Parameters:
        `row` - the row whose value is to be queried
        `column` - the column whose value is to be queried
      Returns:
        the Object at the specified cell

    - #### setValueAt

          public void setValueAt(Object aValue,
                        int row,
                        int column)

      Sets the value for the cell in the table model at `row` and `column`.

      Note: The column is specified in the table view's display order, and not in the `TableModel`'s column order. This is an important distinction because as the user rearranges the columns in the table, the column at a given index in the view will change. Meanwhile the user's actions never affect the model's column ordering. `aValue` is the new value.

      Parameters:
        `aValue` - the new value
        `row` - the row of the cell to be changed
        `column` - the column of the cell to be changed
      See Also:
        `getValueAt(int, int)`

    - #### isCellEditable

          public boolean isCellEditable(int row,
                               int column)

      Returns true if the cell at `row` and `column` is editable. Otherwise, invoking `setValueAt` on the cell will have no effect.

      Note: The column is specified in the table view's display order, and not in the `TableModel`'s column order. This is an important distinction because as the user rearranges the columns in the table, the column at a given index in the view will change. Meanwhile the user's actions never affect the model's column ordering.

      Parameters:
        `row` - the row whose value is to be queried
        `column` - the column whose value is to be queried
      Returns:
        true if the cell is editable
      See Also:
        `setValueAt(java.lang.Object, int, int)`

    - #### addColumn

          public void addColumn(TableColumn aColumn)

      Appends `aColumn` to the end of the array of columns held by this `JTable`'s column model. If the column name of `aColumn` is `null`, sets the column name of `aColumn` to the name returned by `getModel().getColumnName()`.

      To add a column to this `JTable` to display the `modelColumn`'th column of data in the model with a given `width`, `cellRenderer`, and `cellEditor` you can use:

                addColumn(new TableColumn(modelColumn, width, cellRenderer, cellEditor));

      [Any of the `TableColumn` constructors can be used instead of this one.] The model column number is stored inside the `TableColumn` and is used during rendering and editing to locate the appropriates data values in the model. The model column number does not change when columns are reordered in the view.
      Parameters:
        `aColumn` - the `TableColumn` to be added
      See Also:
        `removeColumn(javax.swing.table.TableColumn)`

    - #### removeColumn

          public void removeColumn(TableColumn aColumn)

      Removes `aColumn` from this `JTable`'s array of columns. Note: this method does not remove the column of data from the model; it just removes the `TableColumn` that was responsible for displaying it.
      Parameters:
        `aColumn` - the `TableColumn` to be removed
      See Also:
        `addColumn(javax.swing.table.TableColumn)`

    - #### moveColumn

          public void moveColumn(int column,
                        int targetColumn)

      Moves the column `column` to the position currently occupied by the column `targetColumn` in the view. The old column at `targetColumn` is shifted left or right to make room.
      Parameters:
        `column` - the index of column to be moved
        `targetColumn` - the new index of the column

    - #### columnAtPoint

          public int columnAtPoint(Point point)

      Returns the index of the column that `point` lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, `getColumnCount()`-1].
      Parameters:
        `point` - the location of interest
      Returns:
        the index of the column that `point` lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, `getColumnCount()`-1]
      See Also:
        `rowAtPoint(java.awt.Point)`

    - #### rowAtPoint

          public int rowAtPoint(Point point)

      Returns the index of the row that `point` lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, `getRowCount()`-1].
      Parameters:
        `point` - the location of interest
      Returns:
        the index of the row that `point` lies in, or -1 if the result is not in the range [0, `getRowCount()`-1]
      See Also:
        `columnAtPoint(java.awt.Point)`

    - #### getCellRect

          public Rectangle getCellRect(int row,
                              int column,
                              boolean includeSpacing)

      Returns a rectangle for the cell that lies at the intersection of `row` and `column`. If `includeSpacing` is true then the value returned has the full height and width of the row and column specified. If it is false, the returned rectangle is inset by the intercell spacing to return the true bounds of the rendering or editing component as it will be set during rendering.

      If the column index is valid but the row index is less than zero the method returns a rectangle with the `y` and `height` values set appropriately and the `x` and `width` values both set to zero. In general, when either the row or column indices indicate a cell outside the appropriate range, the method returns a rectangle depicting the closest edge of the closest cell that is within the table's range. When both row and column indices are out of range the returned rectangle covers the closest point of the closest cell.

      In all cases, calculations that use this method to calculate results along one axis will not fail because of anomalies in calculations along the other axis. When the cell is not valid the `includeSpacing` parameter is ignored.

      Parameters:
        `row` - the row index where the desired cell is located
        `column` - the column index where the desired cell is located in the display; this is not necessarily the same as the column index in the data model for the table; the `convertColumnIndexToView(int)` method may be used to convert a data model column index to a display column index
        `includeSpacing` - if false, return the true cell bounds - computed by subtracting the intercell spacing from the height and widths of the column and row models
      Returns:
        the rectangle containing the cell at location `row`,`column`
      See Also:
        `getIntercellSpacing()`

    - #### doLayout

          public void doLayout()

      Causes this table to lay out its rows and columns. Overridden so that columns can be resized to accomodate a change in the size of a containing parent. Resizes one or more of the columns in the table so that the total width of all of this `JTable`'s columns is equal to the width of the table.

      Before the layout begins the method gets the `resizingColumn` of the `tableHeader`. When the method is called as a result of the resizing of an enclosing window, the `resizingColumn` is `null`. This means that resizing has taken place "outside" the `JTable` and the change - or "delta" - should be distributed to all of the columns regardless of this `JTable`'s automatic resize mode.

      If the `resizingColumn` is not `null`, it is one of the columns in the table that has changed size rather than the table itself. In this case the auto-resize modes govern the way the extra (or deficit) space is distributed amongst the available columns.

      The modes are:

      - AUTO_RESIZE_OFF: Don't automatically adjust the column's widths at all. Use a horizontal scrollbar to accomodate the columns when their sum exceeds the width of the `Viewport`. If the `JTable` is not enclosed in a `JScrollPane` this may leave parts of the table invisible.
      - AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN: Use just the column after the resizing column. This results in the "boundary" or divider between adjacent cells being independently adjustable.
      - AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS: Use all columns after the one being adjusted to absorb the changes. This is the default behavior.
      - AUTO_RESIZE_LAST_COLUMN: Automatically adjust the size of the last column only. If the bounds of the last column prevent the desired size from being allocated, set the width of the last column to the appropriate limit and make no further adjustments.
      - AUTO_RESIZE_ALL_COLUMNS: Spread the delta amongst all the columns in the `JTable`, including the one that is being adjusted.

      Note: When a `JTable` makes adjustments to the widths of the columns it respects their minimum and maximum values absolutely. It is therefore possible that, even after this method is called, the total width of the columns is still not equal to the width of the table. When this happens the `JTable` does not put itself in AUTO_RESIZE_OFF mode to bring up a scroll bar, or break other commitments of its current auto-resize mode -- instead it allows its bounds to be set larger (or smaller) than the total of the column minimum or maximum, meaning, either that there will not be enough room to display all of the columns, or that the columns will not fill the `JTable`'s bounds. These respectively, result in the clipping of some columns or an area being painted in the `JTable`'s background color during painting.

      The mechanism for distributing the delta amongst the available columns is provided in a private method in the `JTable` class:

             adjustSizes(long targetSize, final Resizable3 r, boolean inverse)

      an explanation of which is provided in the following section. `Resizable3` is a private interface that allows any data structure containing a collection of elements with a size, preferred size, maximum size and minimum size to have its elements manipulated by the algorithm.

      ### Distributing the delta

      #### Overview

      Call "DELTA" the difference between the target size and the sum of the preferred sizes of the elements in r. The individual sizes are calculated by taking the original preferred sizes and adding a share of the DELTA - that share being based on how far each preferred size is from its limiting bound (minimum or maximum).

      #### Definition

      Call the individual constraints min[i], max[i], and pref[i].

      Call their respective sums: MIN, MAX, and PREF.

      Each new size will be calculated using:

                    size[i] = pref[i] + delta[i]

      where each individual delta[i] is calculated according to:

      If (DELTA < 0) we are in shrink mode where:

                                  DELTA
                    delta[i] = ------------ * (pref[i] - min[i])
                               (PREF - MIN)

      If (DELTA > 0) we are in expand mode where:

                                  DELTA
                    delta[i] = ------------ * (max[i] - pref[i])
                                (MAX - PREF)

      The overall effect is that the total size moves that same percentage, k, towards the total minimum or maximum and that percentage guarantees accomodation of the required space, DELTA.

      #### Details

      Naive evaluation of the formulae presented here would be subject to the aggregated rounding errors caused by doing this operation in finite precision (using ints). To deal with this, the multiplying factor above, is constantly recalculated and this takes account of the rounding errors in the previous iterations. The result is an algorithm that produces a set of integers whose values exactly sum to the supplied `targetSize`, and does so by spreading the rounding errors evenly over the given elements.

      #### When the MAX and MIN bounds are hit

      When `targetSize` is outside the [MIN, MAX] range, the algorithm sets all sizes to their appropriate limiting value (maximum or minimum).

      Note: Throughout the table package, the internal implementations always use this method to provide renderers so that this default behavior can be safely overridden by a subclass.

      Parameters:
        `row` - the row of the cell to render, where 0 is the first row
        `column` - the column of the cell to render, where 0 is the first column

      Prepares the renderer by querying the data model for the value and selection state of the cell at `row`, `column`. Returns the component (may be a `Component` or a `JComponent`) under the event location.

      During a printing operation, this method will configure the renderer without indicating selection or focus, to prevent them from appearing in the printed output. To do other customizations based on whether or not the table is being printed, you can check the value of `JComponent.isPaintingForPrint()`, either here or within custom renderers.

      Note: Throughout the table package, the internal implementations always use this method to prepare renderers so that this default behavior can be safely overridden by a subclass.

      Parameters:
        `renderer` - the `TableCellRenderer` to prepare
        `row` - the row of the cell to render, where 0 is the first row
        `column` - the column of the cell to render, where 0 is the first column

      Returns an appropriate editor for the cell specified by `row` and `column`. If the `TableColumn` for this column has a non-null editor, returns that. If not, finds the class of the data in this column (using `getColumnClass`) and returns the default editor for this type of data.

      Note: Throughout the table package, the internal implementations always use this method to provide editors so that this default behavior can be safely overridden by a subclass.

      Parameters:
        `row` - the row of the cell to edit, where 0 is the first row
        `column` - the column of the cell to edit, where 0 is the first column

                                int column)

      Prepares the editor by querying the data model for the value and selection state of the cell at `row`, `column`.

      Note: Throughout the table package, the internal implementations always use this method to prepare editors so that this default behavior can be safely overridden by a subclass.

      Prints this `JTable`. Takes steps that the majority of developers would take in order to print a `JTable`. In short, it prepares the table, calls `getPrintable` to fetch an appropriate `Printable`, and then sends it to the printer.

      A `boolean` parameter allows you to specify whether or not a printing dialog is displayed to the user. When it is, the user may use the dialog to change the destination printer or printing attributes, or even to cancel the print. Another two parameters allow for a `PrintService` and printing attributes to be specified. These parameters can be used either to provide initial values for the print dialog, or to specify values when the dialog is not shown.

      A second `boolean` parameter allows you to specify whether or not to perform printing in an interactive mode. If `true`, a modal progress dialog, with an abort option, is displayed for the duration of printing . This dialog also prevents any user action which may affect the table. However, it can not prevent the table from being modified by code (for example, another thread that posts updates using `SwingUtilities.invokeLater`). It is therefore the responsibility of the developer to ensure that no other code modifies the table in any way during printing (invalid modifications include changes in: size, renderers, or underlying data). Printing behavior is undefined when the table is changed during printing.

      If `false` is specified for this parameter, no dialog will be displayed and printing will begin immediately on the event-dispatch thread. This blocks any other events, including repaints, from being processed until printing is complete. Although this effectively prevents the table from being changed, it doesn't provide a good user experience. For this reason, specifying `false` is only recommended when printing from an application with no visible GUI.

      Note: Attempting to show the printing dialog or run interactively, while in headless mode, will result in a `HeadlessException`.

      Before fetching the printable, this method will gracefully terminate editing, if necessary, to prevent an editor from showing in the printed result. Additionally, `JTable` will prepare its renderers during printing such that selection and focus are not indicated. As far as customizing further how the table looks in the printout, developers can provide custom renderers or paint code that conditionalize on the value of `JComponent.isPaintingForPrint()`.

      See `getPrintable(javax.swing.JTable.PrintMode, java.text.MessageFormat, java.text.MessageFormat)` for more description on how the table is printed.

      Parameters:
        `printMode` - the printing mode that the printable should use
        `headerFormat` - a `MessageFormat` specifying the text to be used in printing a header, or `null` for none
        `footerFormat` - a `MessageFormat` specifying the text to be used in printing a footer, or `null` for none
        `showPrintDialog` - whether or not to display a print dialog
        `attr` - a `PrintRequestAttributeSet` specifying any printing attributes, or `null` for none
        `interactive` - whether or not to print in an interactive mode
        `service` - the destination `PrintService`, or `null` to use the default printer
      Returns:
        true, unless printing is cancelled by the user
      Throws:
        `HeadlessException` - if the method is asked to show a printing dialog or run interactively, and `GraphicsEnvironment.isHeadless` returns `true`
        `SecurityException` - if a security manager exists and its `SecurityManager.checkPrintJobAccess()` method disallows this thread from creating a print job request
        `PrinterException` - if an error in the print system causes the job to be aborted

    - #### getPrintable

          public Printable getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode printMode,
                               MessageFormat headerFormat,
                               MessageFormat footerFormat)

      Return a `Printable` for use in printing this JTable.

      This method is meant for those wishing to customize the default `Printable` implementation used by `JTable`'s `print` methods. Developers wanting simply to print the table should use one of those methods directly.

      The `Printable` can be requested in one of two printing modes. In both modes, it spreads table rows naturally in sequence across multiple pages, fitting as many rows as possible per page. `PrintMode.NORMAL` specifies that the table be printed at its current size. In this mode, there may be a need to spread columns across pages in a similar manner to that of the rows. When the need arises, columns are distributed in an order consistent with the table's `ComponentOrientation`. `PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH` specifies that the output be scaled smaller, if necessary, to fit the table's entire width (and thereby all columns) on each page. Width and height are scaled equally, maintaining the aspect ratio of the output.

      The `Printable` heads the portion of table on each page with the appropriate section from the table's `JTableHeader`, if it has one.

      Header and footer text can be added to the output by providing `MessageFormat` arguments. The printing code requests Strings from the formats, providing a single item which may be included in the formatted string: an `Integer` representing the current page number.

      You are encouraged to read the documentation for `MessageFormat` as some characters, such as single-quote, are special and need to be escaped.

      Here's an example of creating a `MessageFormat` that can be used to print "Duke's Table: Page - " and the current page number:

               // notice the escaping of the single quote
               // notice how the page number is included with "{0}"
               MessageFormat format = new MessageFormat("Duke''s Table: Page - {0}");

      The `Printable` constrains what it draws to the printable area of each page that it prints. Under certain circumstances, it may find it impossible to fit all of a page's content into that area. In these cases the output may be clipped, but the implementation makes an effort to do something reasonable. Here are a few situations where this is known to occur, and how they may be handled by this particular implementation:

      - In any mode, when the header or footer text is too wide to fit completely in the printable area -- print as much of the text as possible starting from the beginning, as determined by the table's `ComponentOrientation`.
      - In any mode, when a row is too tall to fit in the printable area -- print the upper-most portion of the row and paint no lower border on the table.
      - In `PrintMode.NORMAL` when a column is too wide to fit in the printable area -- print the center portion of the column and leave the left and right borders off the table.

      It is entirely valid for this `Printable` to be wrapped inside another in order to create complex reports and documents. You may even request that different pages be rendered into different sized printable areas. The implementation must be prepared to handle this (possibly by doing its layout calculations on the fly). However, providing different heights to each page will likely not work well with `PrintMode.NORMAL` when it has to spread columns across pages.

      As far as customizing how the table looks in the printed result, `JTable` itself will take care of hiding the selection and focus during printing. For additional customizations, your renderers or painting code can customize the look based on the value of `JComponent.isPaintingForPrint()`

      Also, before calling this method you may wish to first modify the state of the table, such as to cancel cell editing or have the user size the table appropriately. However, you must not modify the state of the table after this `Printable` has been fetched (invalid modifications include changes in size or underlying data). The behavior of the returned `Printable` is undefined once the table has been changed.

      Parameters:
        `printMode` - the printing mode that the printable should use
        `headerFormat` - a `MessageFormat` specifying the text to be used in printing a header, or null for none
        `footerFormat` - a `MessageFormat` specifying the text to be used in printing a footer, or null for none
      Returns:
        a `Printable` for printing this JTable

      Specified by:
        `getAccessibleContext` in interface `Accessible`
      Overrides:
        `getAccessibleContext` in class `JComponent`
      Returns:
        an AccessibleJTable that serves as the AccessibleContext of this JTable
