/**
* The AccessibleTableModelChange interface describes a change to
* the table model. The attributes of the model change can be
* obtained by the following methods:
* <ul>
* <li> public int getType()
* <li> public int getFirstRow();
* <li> public int getLastRow();
* <li> public int getFirstColumn();
* <li> public int getLastColumn();
* </ul>
* The model change type returned by getType() will be one of:
* <ul>
* <li> INSERT - one or more rows and/or columns have been inserted
* <li> UPDATE - some of the table data has changed
* <li> DELETE - one or more rows and/or columns have been deleted
* </ul>
* The affected area of the table can be determined by the other
* four methods which specify ranges of rows and columns
