  Description     : Tool for OPerations on Catalogues And Tables
 TOPCAT is an interactive graphical viewer and editor for tabular
 data. Its aim is to provide most of the facilities that astronomers
 need for analysis and manipulation of source catalogues and other
 tables, though it can be used for non-astronomical data as well. It
 understands a number of different astronomically important formats
 (including FITS, VOTable and CDF) and more formats can be added.

The package will be maintained by the Debian Astro team. It is part of
the effort to package the Virtual Observatory Java tools from Starlink.

A git repository will be created at

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/topcat.git

The package depends on the creation of jel, starjava-datanode,
starjava-fits, starjava-table, starjava-task, starjava-ttools,
starjava-util, starjava-vo, and starjava-votable.

Best regards
