Class Representing Binary Table Extensions. Contains columns with scalar or vector row entries.
BinTable (re)implements functions prescribed in the Table abstract class. The implementations allow the calling of cfitsio specialized routines for BinTable header construction. functions particular to the BinTable class include those dealing with variable width columns
Direct instantiation of BinTable objects is disallowed: they are created by explicit calls to FITS::addTable( ... ), FITS::read(...) or internally by one of the FITS ctors on initialization. For addTable, creation of BinTables is the default.

reading constructor.
Construct a BinTable extension from an extension of an existing disk file. The Table is specified by name and optional version number within the file. An array of strings representing columns or keys indicates which data are to be read. The column data are only read if readFlag is true. Reading on construction is optimized, so it is more efficient to read data at the point of instantiation. This favours a "resource acquisition is initialization" model of data management.
p | Pointer to FITSBase class, an internal implementation detail |
hduName | name of BinTable object to be read. |
readFlag | flag to determine whether to read data on construction |
keys | (optional) a list of keywords/columns to be read. The implementation will determine which are keywords. If none are specified, the constructor will simply read the header |
version | (optional) version number. If not specified, will read the first extension that matches hduName. |

writing constructor
The constructor creates a valid HDU which is ready for Column::write or insertRows operations. The disk FITS file is update accordingly. The data type of each column is determined by the columnFmt argument (TFORM keywords). See cfitsio documentation for acceptable values.
p | Pointer to FITSBase class, an internal implementation detail |
hduName | name of BinTable object to be written |
rows | number of rows in the table (NAXIS2) |
columnName | array of column names for columns to be constructed. |
columnFmt | array of column formats for columns to be constructed. |
columnUnit | (optional) array of units for data in columns. |
version | (optional) version number for HDU. |
The dimensions of columnType, columnName and columnFmt must match, but this is not enforced.
void CCfits::BinTable::addColumn | ( | ValueType | type, |
const String & | columnName, | ||
long | repeatWidth, | ||
const String & | colUnit = String("") , |
||
long | decimals = 0 , |
||
size_t | columnNumber = 0 |
||
) | [virtual] |
add a new column to an existing table HDU.
type | The data type of the column to be added |
columnName | The name of the column to be added |
repeatWidth | for a string valued, this is the width of a string. For a numeric column it supplies the vector length of the rows. It is ignored for ascii table numeric data. |
colUnit | an optional field specifying the units of the data (TUNITn) |
decimals | optional parameter specifying the number of decimals for an ascii numeric column |
columnNumber | optional parameter specifying column number to be created. If not specified the column is added to the end. If specified, the column is inserted and the columns already read are reindexed. This parameter is provided as a convenience to support existing code rather than recommended. |
Reimplemented from CCfits::ExtHDU.
void CCfits::BinTable::readData | ( | bool | readFlag = false , |
const std::vector< String > & | keys = std::vector<String>() |
||
) | [virtual] |
read columns and keys specified in the input array.
See Table class documentation for further details.
Implements CCfits::ExtHDU.
