ChoiceMode (Starjava TTOOLS API)

java.lang.Object
- uk.ac.starlink.ttools.task.ChoiceMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

ProcessingMode
```
public class ChoiceMode
extends java.lang.Object
implements ProcessingMode
```
Output mode which can be used to give the user, via the parameter system, the choice about what mode to use. This mode is not intended for use as one amongst many, but as the only ProcessingMode for a processing sequence, for instance as the parameter to the ConsumerTask constructor.
Note: that use of this mode is used by the JyStilts script to identify tasks whose primary output is a table, so that such tables can by default be returned to the jython environment rather than serialised to output files.
