NatTable is a powerful and flexible SWT table/grid widget that is built to handle very large data sets, real-time updates, dynamic styling, and more.
NatTable is more than just a table. It is a general framework to create flexible and highly customizable grids.
It is necessary to understand some general concepts to configure and use NatTable.
A layer is NatTable's way of adding functionality. Each feature usually is implemented by a separate layer. For example column hiding is implemented by the ColumnHideShow layer, Sorting is implemented by the SortHeaderLayer and so on. Layers can be arranged in 'stacks', by piling them on top of each other. Various pre canned stacks are available, for example DefaultBodyLayerStack, DummyGridLayerStack and so on.
