Image Table display
The table window presents a spreadsheet-like display of the contents of the given FITS image extension. Row numbers run along the left side of the window and column numbers run along the top (below the menubar). Single click on a data cell to copy the value to the "Edit cell" entry at the bottom of the window, where one can immediately edit the value. Press <Return> in that entry to finalize the changes. If the FITS image is simultaneously displayed in the POW image viewer, then double clicking with the mouse on any pixel in the POW image will cause the corresponding cell in the table display to be highlighted.
