| Abstract: |
TOPCAT is a desktop application for interactive analysis of tabular data,
especially source catalogues. Along with its command-line counterpart
STILTS, it has been under more or less continuous development for
the past 15 years and is now widely used by astronomers from
project students to research scientists.
This paper reviews its capabilities
as a tool for working with large and small datasets,
and considers some of the issues in design, implementation and
user interaction that have to be tackled when developing software
of this kind. |
