FITS table viewer

Someone was looking for something that can replace fv FITS Viewer, which has a table viewer. I’m just wondering if Ginga is the right package for such a thing, or is it out of scope?

I did a test with a sample FITS file that has the following structure (in reality, it can be a lot more extensions with multiple images and tables, and the tables can have many different columns each):

Filename: simple_im_tab.fits
No.    Name         Type      Cards   Dimensions   Format
0    PRIMARY     PrimaryHDU       4   ()              
1                ImageHDU         7   (100, 100)   float64   
2                BinTableHDU     12   3R x 2C      [20A, E]   

When I use MultiDim and select the table extension, I get the following errors from Ginga:

2016-09-03 08:33:03,961 | E | MultiDim.py:446 (set_hdu) | Error loading FITS HDU #2:
    too many indices for array

@pllim, please see PR #370 as an alternate implementation for this issue. Let me know your thoughts.

Please see #369 for a possible solution. Thanks!

That was fast!
