StoneTablet Publishing today announced the release of StoneTable Version 4.0. This release provides a major step forward giving the Macintosh developer access to functionality never before available on the Macintosh platform in a simple and easy form for integration into their applications. Building upon an API similar to that used by the List Manager, StoneTable now provides nearly 250 functions and dozens of options (color, fonts, styles, titles, grid lines, etc.) to the developer to display a wide range of data (text, check boxes, pop up menus, twist down lists, application defined data, etc.) in a simple and consistent way. Applications using StoneTable provide their users a natural interface similar to that found in major spreadsheet applications or other applications that display data in tables.

StoneTable has been used by developers worldwide since 1992 and is the standard for displaying tables from within applications. It may be used within Metrowerks CodeWarrior C/C++ or Pascal applications or with PowerPlant using a provided class similar to the PowerPlant LTable class. A comprehensive manual is provided along with sample applications and source snippets.

StoneTable Version 4.0 is available for $200.00 (which is the same price of prior versions) directly from StoneTablet Publishing or from DevDepot.
