// .NAME vtkReduceTable - combine some of the rows of a table
//
// .SECTION Description
// Collapses the rows of the input table so that one particular
// column (the IndexColumn) does not contain any duplicate values.
// Thus the output table will have the same columns as the input
// table, but potentially fewer rows.  One example use of this
// class would be to generate a summary table from a table of
// observations.
// When two or more rows of the input table share a value in the
// IndexColumn, the values from these rows will be combined on a
// column-by-column basis.  By default, such numerical values will be
// reduced to their mean, and non-numerical values will be reduced to
// their mode.  This default behavior can be changed by calling
// SetNumericalReductionMethod() or SetNonNumericalReductionMethod().
// You can also specify the reduction method to use for a particular
// column by calling SetReductionMethodForColumn().
