Class SystemTableSaveDialog

java.lang.Object
  extended by uk.ac.starlink.table.gui.SystemTableSaveDialog
All Implemented Interfaces:
TableSaveDialog

public class SystemTableSaveDialog
extends Object
implements TableSaveDialog

Table save dialogue based on the native system file dialogue. This is a wrapper around FileDialog, which is in turn a thin wrapper around whatever the native platform uses for its default file browser. Looks ugly on my fvwm-based Linux desktop, but for Mac and MS users it may be much preferable to the java-coded alternatives.
