metatable(options);

The options param should be an object and is optional.

newCol	true	Adds a link to add a new column to a table.
deleteCol	true	Adds a link to rename a column in a table.
renameCol	true	Adds a link to delete a column in a table.

A behavior that expects to be called with a selection an array of objects of data. Emits events:

• change: a row is changed. returns the object and the index
• rowfocus: a row is focused. returns the object and the index
• renameprompt: Column is about to be renamed. Useful for passing in a custom workflow for submitting a value that overrides the default. usage:

.on('renameprompt', function(d, process) {
    // Prevent the default prompt.
    this.preventprompt('rename');

    // Do it your own way
    var newname = prompt('Rename column to:');

    // Continue internally by passing the new name and current one.
    if (newname) process(newname, d);
});

• deleteprompt: Column is about to be deleted. Useful for passing in a custom workflow for delete confirmation to override the default one. usage:

.on('deleteprompt', function(d, process) {
    // Prevent the default prompt.
    this.preventprompt('delete');

    // Do it your own way
    if (confirm('Are you sure you want to delete ' + d + '?')) process(d);
});
