#' The RowDataTable panel
#'
#' The RowDataTable is a panel class for creating a \linkS4class{ColumnTable} where the value of the table is defined as the \code{\link{rowData}} of the \linkS4class{SummarizedExperiment}.
#' It provides functionality to extract the \code{\link{rowData}} to coerce it into an appropriate data.frame in preparation for rendering.
#'
#' @section Slot overview:
#' This class inherits all slots from its parent \linkS4class{ColumnTable} and \linkS4class{Table} classes.
#'
#' @section Constructor:
#' \code{RowDataTable(...)} creates an instance of a RowDataTable class, where any slot and its value can be passed to \code{...} as a named argument.
#'
#' Note that \code{ColSearch} should be a character vector of length equal to the total number of columns in the \code{\link{rowData}}, though only the entries for the atomic fields will actually be used.
#' 
#' @section Supported methods:
#' In the following code snippets, \code{x} is an instance of a \linkS4class{RowDataTable} class.
#' Refer to the documentation for each method for more details on the remaining arguments.
#'
#' For setting up data values:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{.cacheCommonInfo}(x)} adds a \code{"RowDataTable"} entry containing \code{valid.rowData.names}, a character vector of names of atomic columns of the \code{\link{rowData}}.
#' This will also call the equivalent \linkS4class{ColumnTable} method.
#' \item \code{\link{.refineParameters}(x, se)} adjusts \code{ColSearch} to a character vector of length equal to the number of atomic fields in the \code{\link{rowData}}.
#' This will also call the equivalent \linkS4class{ColumnTable} method for further refinements to \code{x}.
#' }
#'
#' For defining the interface:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{.fullName}(x)} will return \code{"Row data table"}.
#' \item \code{\link{.panelColor}(x)} will return the specified default color for this panel class.
#' }
#' 
#' For creating the output:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{.generateTable}(x, envir)} will modify \code{envir} to contain the relevant data.frame for display,
#' while returning a character vector of commands required to produce that data.frame.
#' Each row of the data.frame should correspond to a row of the SummarizedExperiment.
#' }
#'
#' For documentation:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{.definePanelTour}(x)} returns an data.frame containing the steps of a panel-specific tour.
#' }
#'
#' Unless explicitly specialized above, all methods from the parent class \linkS4class{Panel} are also available.
