<h4><a name="mode-topcat">6.4.9 <code>topcat</code></a></h4>
<p><strong>Usage:</strong>
<pre> omode=topcat
</pre></p>
<p>Attempts to display the output table directly in
<a href="http://www.starlink.ac.uk/topcat/">TOPCAT</a>.
If a TOPCAT instance is already
running on the local host, an attempt will be made to open
the table in that.
A variety of mechanisms are used to attempt communication
with an existing TOPCAT instance. In order:
<ol>
<li>SAMP using existing hub
(TOPCAT v3.4+ only, requires SAMP hub to be running)
</li>
<li>SOAP
(requires TOPCAT to run with somewhat deprecated
<code>-soap</code> flag,
may be limitations on table size)
</li>
<li>SAMP using internal, short-lived hub
(TOPCAT v3.4+ only, running hub not required,
but may be slow. It's better to start an external hub,
e.g. <code>topcat -exthub</code>)
</li>
</ol>
Failing that, an attempt will be made to launch
a new TOPCAT instance for display.
This only works if the TOPCAT classes are on the class path.
</p>
<p>If large tables are involved, starting TOPCAT with the
<code>-disk</code> flag is probably a good idea.
