5.4.8 topcat

Usage:

   omode=topcat

Displays the output table directly in TOPCAT. If a TOPCAT instance (version 1.6 or later) is already running on the local host, the table will be opened in that, otherwise a new TOPCAT instance will be launched for display. The latter mode only works if the TOPCAT classes are on the class path.

A variety of mechanisms (e.g. PLASTIC and SOAP) are attempted to transfer the table, depending on what running instances of TOPCAT can be found. Depending on the transport mechanism used, there may be limits to the size of table which can be transmitted to the application in this way.
