Constructor Detail

AsciiTableHDU

public AsciiTableHDU(Header h,
                     AsciiTable d)

Create an ASCII table header/data unit.

Parameters:

h - the template specifying the ASCII table.

d - the FITS data structure containing the table data.

Method Detail

encapsulate

public static AsciiTable encapsulate(Object o)
                              throws FitsException

Parameters:

o - the array of object to create the ASCII table

Returns:

a ASCII table data structure from an array of objects representing the columns.

Throws:

FitsException - if the table could not be created.

isData

public static boolean isData(Object o)

Parameters:

o - object representing the data

Returns:

true if this data is usable as an ASCII table.

isHeader

public static boolean isHeader(Header header)

Check that this is a valid ascii table header.

Parameters:

header - to validate.

Returns:

true if this is an ascii table header.

manufactureData

public static Data manufactureData(Header hdr)
                            throws FitsException

Create a Data object to correspond to the header description.

Parameters:

hdr - the header to create the data for

Returns:

An unfilled Data object which can be used to read in the data for this HDU.

Throws:

FitsException - if the Data object could not be created from this HDU's Header

manufactureHeader

public static Header manufactureHeader(Data d)
                                throws FitsException

Parameters:

d - data to create a header for

Returns:

a created header to match the input data.

Throws:

FitsException - if the header could not b e created

addColumn

public int addColumn(Object newCol)
              throws FitsException

Description copied from class: TableHDU

Add a column to the table without any associated header information.

Overrides:

addColumn in class TableHDU<AsciiTable>

Parameters:

newCol - the new column information. the newCol should be an Object[] where type of all of the constituents is identical. The length of data should match the other columns. Note: It is valid for data to be a 2 or higher dimensionality primitive array. In this case the column index is the first (in Java speak) index of the array. E.g., if called with int[30][20][10], the number of rows in the table should be 30 and this column will have elements which are 2-d integer arrays with TDIM = (10,20).

Returns:

the number of columns in the adapted table

Throws:

FitsException - if the operation failed

columnKeyStems

protected IFitsHeader[] columnKeyStems()

Specified by:

columnKeyStems in class TableHDU<AsciiTable>

Returns:

the stems of the keywords that are associated with table columns. Users can supplement this with their own and call the appropriate deleteColumns fields.

info

public void info(PrintStream stream)

Description copied from class: BasicHDU

Print out some information about this HDU.

Specified by:

info in class BasicHDU<AsciiTable>

Parameters:

stream - the printstream to write the info on

isNull

public boolean isNull(int row,
                      int col)

Parameters:

row - row index of the element

col - column index of the element

Returns:

true if an element is null

setNull

public void setNull(int row,
                    int col,
                    boolean flag)

Mark an entry as null.

Parameters:

row - row index of the element

col - column index of the element

flag - set to null or not

setNullString

public void setNullString(int col,
                          String newNull)

Set the null string for a column.

Parameters:

col - the column index

newNull - the String representing null
