#### 8.2.55.45 table.summary ¶

Method: `summary` (obj) ¶

  Display a summary of a table’s data.

  Displays a summary of data in the input table. This will contain some statistical information on each of its variables. The output is printed to the Octave console (command window, stdout, or the like in your current session), in a format suited for human consumption. The output format is not fixed or formally defined, and may change over time. It is only suitable for human display, and not for parsing or programmatic use.

  This method supports, to some degree, extension by other packages. If your Octave session has loaded other packages which supply extension implementaions of ‘summary‘, Tablicious will use those in preference to its own internal implementation, and you will get different, and hopefully better, output.
