Constructor Detail

UndefinedHDU

public UndefinedHDU(Header h,
                    UndefinedData d)
             throws FitsException

Build an image HDU using the supplied data.

Parameters:

h - the header for this HDU

d - the data used to build the image.

Throws:

FitsException - if there was a problem with the data.

Method Detail

encapsulate

public static UndefinedData encapsulate(Object o)
                                 throws FitsException

Parameters:

o - the object to encapsulate

Returns:

Encapsulate an object as an ImageHDU.

Throws:

FitsException - if the operation failed

isData

public static boolean isData(Object o)

Check if we can use the following object as in an Undefined FITS block. We allow this so long as computeLSize can get a size. Note that computeLSize may be wrong!

Parameters:

o - The Object being tested.

Returns:

true if o can be an Undefined FITS block.

isHeader

public static boolean isHeader(Header hdr)

Check if we can find the length of the data for this header.

Parameters:

hdr - header to check.

Returns:

true if this HDU has a valid header.

manufactureData

public static Data manufactureData(Header hdr)
                            throws FitsException

Throws:

FitsException

manufactureHeader

public static Header manufactureHeader(Data d)
                                throws FitsException

Parameters:

d - The image to be described.

Returns:

Create a header that describes the given image data.

Throws:

FitsException - if the object does not contain valid image data.

info

public void info(PrintStream stream)

Description copied from class: BasicHDU

Print out some information about this HDU.

Specified by:

Parameters:
