A table control is a display for a 2D array of strings.
Each cell in a table is a string, and each cell resides in a column and a row. You enter headings when you add the table to the front panel, and you can change them using the Labeling tool or Operating tool.
The row and column headings of a table are not part of the table data. Table headings are separate pieces of data that you can read and set using Property Nodes.
The index display at the upper left corner of the table indicates which cell is visible. You can operate these indexes just as you do on an array.
