This example draws the contents of a table and its data type: 

local Table = {    
    ["matrix"] = {position = {getElementPosition(localPlayer)},rotation = {getElementRotation( localPlayer )}},
    ["localplayer"] = getPlayerName(localPlayer),
}

addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,
    function( )
