<br>
I have a request from a user who has tables with photometry columns<br>
in topcat, and wants to be able to click on a row and see an SED<br>
built from the photometry data contained in the row.<br>
<br>
The request as phrased was to add a "plot SED" button in topcat,<br>
but I'm not going to do that. I'm wondering if there is anything<br>
out there that can accept SAMP messages (table.load.votable<br>
followed by one or more table.highlight.row) to achieve a similar<br>
effect. The receiving application would need to be able to<br>
make sense of table and column metadata well enough to associate<br>
columns with spectral coordinates.<br>
<br>
I'm a bit out of touch with spectral applications, so I don't know<br>
if this is far-fetched or easy or somewhere in between, or whether<br>
there is some other approach that makes more sense to achieve<br>
the same general effect, anyway, any thoughts welcome.<br>
