tables

This is a tool to allow you to import data (in seemingly-table-like format) and ask questions, such as sum, median, mean, etc. about it.

  • Click 'OK' to import this data:
  • Select the data in the table you want to insepect
  • Control-click the selection and select what you'd like to know about this data ...

extending

Extending this system is easy. To do so put instances of Fold on your classpath and start up. Fold looks like this. 

interface Fold {
  String name();
  Object fold(List values);
}

There are also some utility classes, such as AbstractFold and NumericFold, for a complete list see the javadocs. A simple implementation is sum: 

public class Sum extends NumericFold {
  double doFold(double[] vals) {
    double res = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<vals.length; i++) res += vals[i];
    return res;
  }
}
