SAMP MTypesThis page lists MTypes currently in use by applications which implement SAMP (beyond that small number of administrative MTypes currently defined in the SAMP document). It may at some point be formalised into an IVOA Note. The items listed here are a work in progress, and may be revised, replaced or removed in the future. Discussion of the content on this page is best done on theapps-samp mailing list.

table.highlight.rowHighlights a single row of an identified table by row index. The table to operate on is identified by one or both of thetable-id or url arguments. At least one of these must be supplied; if both are given they should refer to the same thing. Exactly what highlighting means is left to the receiving application.
table.select.rowListSelects a list of rows of an identified table by row index. The table to operate on is identified by one or both of thetable-id or url arguments. At least one of these must be supplied; if both are given they should refer to the same thing. Exactly what selection means is left to the receiving application.

coord.pointAt.skyDirects attention (e.g. by moving a cursor or shifting the field of view) to a given point on the celestial sphere.
Administrative MTypesThe following MTypes are ones which have been proposed for addition to the SAMP standard as administrative MTypes. If people agree, they will be added to the next version of the SAMP draft.samp.hub.disconnectSent by the hub to a client if the hub intends to disconnect the client forcibly. This indicates that no further communication from that client is welcome, and any such attempts may be expected to fail. The hub may wish to disconnect clients forcibly as a result of some hub timeout policy or for other reasons.
