```
public interface DataTablesController
```
This interface defines part of the Data Laboratory API.

It provides methods to control the Data Table UI that shows a table for nodes and edges.

This is done by registering the data table ui as a listener of these events that can be requested with this controller. Note that data table ui will not be registered to listen to the events of this controller until it is instanced opening Data Laboratory Group
