staffTableTest.C: This TableTest class is a simple example of how to use a TGTable

// This TableTest class is a simple example of how to use a TGTable
// with a TTreeTableInterface. TableTest inherits from TGMainFrame to
// create a top level frame to embed the TGTable in. First, the
// staff.root file is opened to obtain a tree. This tree also contains
// strings as data. Then a TTreeTableInterface is created using this
// tree. A table is then created using the interface. In the end, the
// table is added to the TGMainFrame that is the TableTest and the
// necessary calls to correctly draw the window are made. For more
// information about the use of TTreeTableInterface and TGTable, see
// their documentation.
