The FlipTab
command transforms the order of the cells in a table.
If only the first dimension 'FirstDim' is specified, the command simply flips the direction of the specified axis,
which mirrors the table.
If two dimensions are specified,
then FlipTab flips the two table axes. This flip can best be visualized by a simple relabeling of the axes,
e.g. FlipTab 1,Columns,Rows changes the name of the 'Columns' axis to 'Rows' and vice versa. This is the same as mirroring the table horizontally and rotating it counter-clockwise by
90 degrees.
This command is especially useful if tables are
exported for use by another program which expects a specific order of table cells.
Example 1:
FlipTab 2,FirstDim=Columns
Flip the columns in table 2, i.e. mirror the table horizontally.
Example 2:
FlipTab default,FirstDim=Rows,SecondDim=Pages
Flip the rows in table 'default' with the pages, i.e. turn the
'rows' dimension into the 'page' dimension and vice versa.
