All Superinterfaces:

javax.swing.table.TableModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultEventTableModel, EventTableModel
```
public interface AdvancedTableModel<E>
extends javax.swing.table.TableModel
```
AdvancedTableModel is the extended interface intended to be implemented by Glazed Lists table models. It provides additional methods for managing the TableFormat and disposing, for example.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`dispose()`	Releases the resources consumed by this `AdvancedTableModel` so that it may eventually be garbage collected.
`E`	`getElementAt(int index)`	Retrieves the value at the specified location from the table.
`TableFormat<? super E>`	`getTableFormat()`	Gets the `TableFormat` used by this table model.
`void`	`setTableFormat(TableFormat<? super E> tableFormat)`	Sets the `TableFormat` that will extract column data from each element.

- Method Detail
  - getTableFormat
```
TableFormat<? super E> getTableFormat()
```
    Gets the TableFormat used by this table model.
  - setTableFormat
```
void setTableFormat(TableFormat<? super E> tableFormat)
```
    Sets the TableFormat that will extract column data from each element. This has some very important consequences. Any cell selections will be lost - this is due to the fact that the TableFormats may have different numbers of columns, and JTable has no event to specify columns changing without rows.
  - getElementAt
```
E getElementAt(int index)
```
    Retrieves the value at the specified location from the table.
    This may be used by renderers to paint the cells of a row differently based on the entire value for that row.

    TableModel.getValueAt(int,int)
  - dispose
```
void dispose()
```
    Releases the resources consumed by this AdvancedTableModel so that it may eventually be garbage collected.
    An AdvancedTableModel will be garbage collected without a call to dispose(), but not before its source EventList is garbage collected. By calling dispose(), you allow the AdvancedTableModel to be garbage collected before its source EventList. This is necessary for situations where an AdvancedTableModel is short-lived but its source EventList is long-lived.
    Warning: It is an error to call any method on an AdvancedTableModel after it has been disposed. As such, this AdvancedTableModel should be detached from its corresponding Component before it is disposed.
