NatTable : high performance SWT data grid

Why is it called NatTable?

NatTable was originally written by Andy Tsoi and dedicated as a gift to his girlfriend, Natalie.

We also sometimes think of 'Nat' as an acronym for 'Not A Table' given that it's really more of a data grid, or a tool for building tables/grids.

How much data can you put behind it?

As much as you want, pretty much. The only practical limit right now is that the number of columns, rows, width and height of your table must be able to be represented as 32-bit integers. We test against virtual data sets of 1 million columns by 1 million rows.

How well does it perform?

NatTable performance scales roughly linearly to the number of visible grid cells, regardless of the size of its backing data set. In other words, performance has more to do with how much screen real estate the NatTable widget is taking up than anything else, whether you're displaying a table of 1,000,000 rows or just 10.
