Package uk.ac.starlink.fits
Classes for general FITS handling, including NDX, NDArray and StarTable
implementations.
Some of these classes use the
nom.tam.fits
package for
low-level FITS access, though several of them do most of the handling
in customised ways themselves for efficiency reasons.-
Interface Summary Interface Description BasicInput Interface defining the basic data input operations required for the FITS reading classes.CardFactory.Config CardFactory configuration.FitsTableSerializer Defines an object which can serialize a table to a FITS HDU.FitsTableSerializerConfig Aggregates configuration options for FITS table serialization.WideFits Defines a convention for storing extended column data in a FITS BINTABLE extension. -
Class Summary Class Description AbstractFitsTableWriter Abstract table writer superclass designed for writing FITS tables.AbstractWideFits Implementations of the WideFits interface.AsciiTableStarTable StarTable implementation for FITS (ASCII) TABLE extensions.BasicInputThreadLocal ThreadLocal based on an InputFactory.BintableColumnHeader Understands how per-column metadata is stored in the headers of a FITS BINTABLE extension.BintableStarTable An implementation of the StarTable interface which uses a FITS BINTABLE extension.BlockInput Partial random-access BasicInput implementation based on a set of ByteBuffers.BlockManager Manages access to a region of a file in blocks using multiple BufferManagers to cover it.BlockMappedInput Random-access BasicInput implementation that maps a given region of a file as a number of byte buffers.BufferedRandomInput BasicInput implementation based on a RandomAccessFile.BufferManager Manages access to a region of a file using monolithic byte buffers.ByteBufferInput Random-access BasicInput implementation based on a ByteBuffer.CardFactory Creates FITS CardImages suitable for writing to a FITS header.CardImage Represents a FITS header card that will be written.CardType<T> Defines different types of FITS header card.ColFitsStarTable StarTable based on a single-row FITS BINTABLE which contains the data for an entire column in each cell of the table.ColFitsTableBuilder Implementation of theTableBuilder
interface which reads tables stored in column-oriented FITS binary table format.ColFitsTableSerializer Object which can serialize a StarTable to a data stream as a one-row FITS file in which each element contains an entire column of the table.ColFitsTableWriter Handles writing of aStarTable
in a column-oriented FITS binary table format.FitsHeader Represents the header part of a FITS HDU that has been read.FitsTableBuilder Implementation of the TableBuilder interface which gets StarTables from FITS files.FitsTableWriter Handles writing of a StarTable in FITS binary format.FitsUtil Utilities for working with FITS files.HduFitsTableWriter TableWriter which writes a single extension BINTABLE HDU containing the table.HealpixFitsTableWriter TableWriter implementation that writes FITS files using the HEALPix-FITS convention.InputFactory Represents a sequence of bytes, and can create BasicInput objects to read it.MultiByteBufferInput Random-access BasicInput implementation based on a supplied array of byte buffers.ParsedCard<T> Represents a single parsed FITS header card.SimpleMappedInput Random-access BasicInput implementation based on a single byte buffer.StandardFitsTableSerializer Class which knows how to do the various bits of serializing a StarTable to FITS BINTABLE format.Unmapper Attempts to free resources from a MappedByteBuffer.VariableFitsTableSerializer FitsTableSerializer which can write variable array-valued columns using the 'P' or 'Q' TFORM formatting characters.VariableFitsTableWriter TableWriter which writes FITS BINTABLEs with variable-length arrays where appropriate. -
Exception Summary Exception Description HeaderValueException Indicates a problem with a FITS header card.
