tpipe
is the main tool in this package
for general purpose manipulation of tables.
It is extremely flexible, and can do the following things
amongst others:
- calculate statistics
- display metadata
- select rows in various ways, including algebraically
- define new columns as algebraic functions of old ones
- delete or rearrange columns
- sort rows
- convert between table formats
and combine these operations in almost any way you can think of.
You can think of it as a supercharged table copying tool,
or as a way to perform most of the operations that TOPCAT can perform
on a table from the command line.
