Class SystemTableSaveDialog

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.starlink.table.gui.SystemTableSaveDialog

All Implemented Interfaces:

TableSaveDialog

public class SystemTableSaveDialog
extends java.lang.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.
