## Interface AccessibleTableModelChange

- All Known Implementing Classes:
    JTable.AccessibleJTable.AccessibleJTableModelChange

      public interface AccessibleTableModelChange

  The AccessibleTableModelChange interface describes a change to the table model. The attributes of the model change can be obtained by the following methods:
  - public int getType()
  - public int getFirstRow();
  - public int getLastRow();
  - public int getFirstColumn();
  - public int getLastColumn();
  The model change type returned by getType() will be one of:
  - INSERT - one or more rows and/or columns have been inserted
  - UPDATE - some of the table data has changed
  - DELETE - one or more rows and/or columns have been deleted
  The affected area of the table can be determined by the other four methods which specify ranges of rows and columns
  Since:
