Detailed Description

Header file for of a DXF tables section (TABLES).

Author:: Copyright (C) 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 by Bert Timmerman <bert.timmerman@xs4all.nl>.

The TABLES section contains several tables, each of which contain a variable number of table entries.

The order of the tables may change, but the LTYPE table will always precede the LAYER table. Each table is introduced with a 0 group with the label TABLE.
This is followed by a 2 group identifying the particular table (VPORT, LTYPE, LAYER, STYLE, VIEW, DIMSTYLE, UCS or APPID) and a 70 group that specifies the maximum number of table entries that may follow.
Table names are always output in uppercase characters.

The tables in a drawing can contain deleted items, but these are not written to the DXF file.
Thus, fewer table entries may follow the table header than are indicated by the 70 group, so don't use the count in the 70 group as an index to read in the table.
This group is provided so that a program which reads DXF files can allocate an array large enough to hold all the table entries that follow.
