Cone table load dialogue

The cone search load dialogue can be opened using the Cone Search button () from the Load Window's toolbar or the Control Window's VO menu. It allows you to query one of a number of external web services for objects from a given catalogue in a given region of the sky. Data held by cone search services are effectively source catalogues with sky position columns.

The window consists of a Registry Query Panel at the top, and a Single Positional Search Panel below.
