Hi,
I have created a table and I can set the contents of a row or rows e.g.:
-- set one row (actually only the first four columns of five)
set content of trackPointSource to {"1", "45", "115", "5.5", "4.5"}
-- set two rows
set content of trackPointSource to {{"1", "45", "115", "5.5", "4.5", "1"}, {"2", "54", "151", "23", "32", "-9"}}
-- add another row of data
append trackPointSource with {"2", "54", "151", "23", "32"}
The data I eventually want to use is in column format. I could use a loop to iterate through the data and set each row individually but can I actually put data directly in a column?
If so, what is the correct terminology?
I’ve tried the following (and some variations) but they don’t work:
-- a list of data which is to be put in a specific column (three rows)
set inds to {1, 2, 3} as list of real
-- get a reference to the first column
set col1 to first data column of trackPointSource
-- this has been tried with/without specifying the number of cells
set the contents of data cells 1 thru 3 of first data column to inds
The above compiles but fails saying “Can’t set data column 1 to (1.0, 2.0, 3.0}. (-10006)”
Thanks,
Brad
