Detailed Description

Table is the abstract common interface to Binary and Ascii Table HDUs.

Table is a subclass of ExtHDU that contains an associative array of Column objects. It implements methods for reading and writing columns


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CCfits::Table::Table ( const Table right  ) 

copy constructor

CCfits::Table::~Table (  )  [virtual]

destructor

CCfits::Table::Table ( FITSBase *  p,
HduType  xtype,
const String &  hduName,
int  rows,
const std::vector< String > &  columnName,
const std::vector< String > &  columnFmt,
const std::vector< String > &  columnUnit = std::vector<String>(),
int  version = 1 
) [protected]

Constructor to be used for creating new HDUs.

Parameters:
p The FITS file in which to place the new HDU
xtype An HduType enumerator defined in CCfits.h for type of table (AsciiTbl or BinaryTbl)
hduName The name of this HDU extension
rows The number of rows in the new HDU (the value of the NAXIS2 keyword).
columnName a vector of names for the columns.
columnFmt the format strings for the columns
columnUnit the units for the columns.
version a version number

CCfits::Table::Table ( FITSBase *  p,
HduType  xtype,
const String &  hduName = String(""),
int  version = 1 
) [protected]

Constructor to be called by operations that read Table specified by hduName and version.

CCfits::Table::Table ( FITSBase *  p,
HduType  xtype,
int  number 
) [protected]

Table constructor for getting Tables by number.

Necessary since EXTNAME is a reserved not required keyword, and users may thus read FITS files without an extension name. Since an HDU is completely specified by extension number, this is part of the public interface.


Member Function Documentation

void CCfits::Table::column ( const String &  colname,
Column value 
) [protected, virtual]

set the column with name colname to the input value.

Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.

std::map< string, Column * > & CCfits::Table::column (  )  [inline, virtual]

return a reference to the array containing the columns.

To be used in the implementation of subclasses.

Column & CCfits::Table::column ( int  colIndex  )  const [virtual]

return a reference to the column identified by colIndex

Throws NoSuchColumn if the index is out of range -index must satisfy (1 <= index <= numCols() ).

N.B. the column number is assigned as 1-based, as in FORTRAN rather than 0-based as in C.

Exceptions:
Table::NoSuchColumn passes colIndex to the diagnostic message printed when the exception is thrown

Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.

Column & CCfits::Table::column ( const String &  colName  )  const [virtual]

return a reference to a Table column specified by name.

The overridden base class implementation ExtHDU::column throws an exception, which is thus the action to be taken if self is an image extension

Exceptions:
WrongExtensionType see above

Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.

const std::map< String, Column * > & CCfits::Table::column (  )  const [inline]

return a reference to the array containing the columns.

This public version might be used to query the size of the column container in a routine that manipulates column table data.

void CCfits::Table::deleteColumn ( const String &  columnName  )  [virtual]

delete a column in a Table extension by name.

Parameters:
columnName The name of the column to be deleted.
Exceptions:
WrongExtensionType if extension is an image.

Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.

void CCfits::Table::deleteRows ( const std::vector< long > &  rowlist  ) 

delete a set of rows in the table specified by an input array.

Parameters:
rowlist The vector of row numbers to be deleted.
Exceptions:
FitsError thrown if the underlying cfitsio call fails to return without error.

void CCfits::Table::deleteRows ( long  first,
long  number = 1 
)

delete a range of rows in a table.

In both this and the overloaded version which allows a selection of rows to be deleted, the cfitsio library is called first to perform the operation on the disk file, and then the FITS object is updated.

Parameters:
first the start row of the range
number the number of rows to delete; defaults to 1.
Exceptions:
FitsError thrown if the cfitsio call fails to return without error.

void CCfits::Table::init ( bool  readFlag = false,
const std::vector< String > &  keys = std::vector<String>() 
) [protected]

"Late Constructor." wrap-up of calls needed to construct a table. Reads header information and sets up the array of column objects in the table.

Protected function, provided to allow the implementation of extensions of the library.

void CCfits::Table::insertRows ( long  first,
long  number = 1 
)

insert empty rows into the table

Parameters:
first the start row of the range
number the number of rows to insert.
Exceptions:
FitsError thrown if the underlying cfitsio call fails to return without error.

void CCfits::Table::numCols ( int  value  )  [inline, protected]

set the number of Columns in the Table

int CCfits::Table::numCols (  )  const [inline, protected]

return the number of Columns in the Table (the TFIELDS keyword).

void CCfits::Table::rows ( long  numRows  )  [inline]

set the number of rows in the Table.

long CCfits::Table::rows (  )  const [inline, virtual]

return the number of rows in the table (NAXIS2).

Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.

void CCfits::Table::updateRows (  ) 

update the number of rows in the table

Called to force the Table to reset its internal "rows" attribute. public, but is called when needed internally.
