Re: Add a 'Total's' row to a FunctionList

GL has architecture for computing "calculations" based on List elements.
It's new as of about 2 months ago. You can find it in the latest builds,
though no screencasts exist for it yet.

This would be the equivalent of Gerrit's Totalizer, though it is intended to
assume almost nothing about the value that it is computing (i.e. it might
not be a sum... in fact it might not even be numeric).

As for how to add these totals into your table, I'd say a custom TableModel
is your best bet. It would extend or delegate to an EventTableModel for all
data rows, but would report an extra row reserved just for the total
information. Since using the GL calculations as the last row in a JTable is
a very common usage, this may be code that should be present in the GL
core...
