Class ColFitsStarTable

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.starlink.table.AbstractStarTable
      uk.ac.starlink.fits.ColFitsStarTable

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, StarTable

public class ColFitsStarTable
extends AbstractStarTable
implements java.io.Closeable

StarTable based on a single-row FITS BINTABLE which contains the data for an entire column in each cell of the table. The BINTABLE must be the first extension of a FITS file.

Some instances of this class hang on to file descriptors. If you are in danger of running out of that resource before insstances are garbage collected, you can call the close() method to release them. Attempting to read data following such a call may result in an exception.

Constructor Summary

ColFitsStarTable(DataSource datsrc, nom.tam.fits.Header hdr, long dataPos, boolean force, WideFits wide)
Constructor.

Method Summary

void	close()
java.lang.Object	getCell(long irow, int icol) The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException, since unless otherwise provided there is no random access.
int	getColumnCount() Returns the number of columns in this table.
ColumnInfo	getColumnInfo(int icol) Returns the object describing the data in a given column.
java.lang.Object[]	getRow(long irow) The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method constructs a row by repeated invocation of AbstractStarTable.getCell(long, int).
long	getRowCount() Returns the number of rows in this table, if known.
RowSequence	getRowSequence() Returns an object which can iterate over all the rows in the table sequentially.
boolean	isRandom() The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method returns false.

Constructor Detail

ColFitsStarTable

public ColFitsStarTable(DataSource datsrc,
                        nom.tam.fits.Header hdr,
                        long dataPos,
                        boolean force,
                        WideFits wide)
                 throws java.io.IOException

Constructor.

Parameters:

datsrc - data source containing the FITS data

hdr - header of the HDU containing the table

dataPos - offset into file of the start of the data part of the HDU

force - true to make a table if we possibly can, false to reject if it doesn't look very much like one

wide - convention for representing extended columns; use null to avoid use of extended columns

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

getColumnCount

public int getColumnCount()

Description copied from interface: StarTable

Returns the number of columns in this table.

Specified by:

getColumnCount in interface StarTable

Specified by:

getColumnCount in class AbstractStarTable

Returns:

the number of columns

getRowCount

public long getRowCount()

Description copied from interface: StarTable

Returns the number of rows in this table, if known. If the number of rows cannot be (easily) determined, a value of -1 will be returned.

Specified by:

getRowCount in interface StarTable

Specified by:

getRowCount in class AbstractStarTable

Returns:

the number of rows, or -1

isRandom

public boolean isRandom()

Description copied from class: AbstractStarTable

The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method returns false.

Specified by:

isRandom in interface StarTable

Overrides:

isRandom in class AbstractStarTable

Returns:

true if table random access methods are available

getColumnInfo

public ColumnInfo getColumnInfo(int icol)

Description copied from interface: StarTable

Returns the object describing the data in a given column.

Specified by:

getColumnInfo in interface StarTable

Specified by:

getColumnInfo in class AbstractStarTable

Parameters:

icol - the column for which header information is required

Returns:

a ValueInfo object for column icol

getCell

public java.lang.Object getCell(long irow,
                                int icol)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractStarTable

The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method throws an UnsupportedOperationException, since unless otherwise provided there is no random access.

Specified by:

getCell in interface StarTable

Overrides:

getCell in class AbstractStarTable

Parameters:

irow - the index of the cell's row

icol - the index of the cell's column

Returns:

the contents of this cell

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is an error reading the data

getRow

public java.lang.Object[] getRow(long irow)
                          throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: AbstractStarTable

The AbstractStarTable implementation of this method constructs a row by repeated invocation of AbstractStarTable.getCell(long, int).

Specified by:

getRow in interface StarTable

Overrides:

getRow in class AbstractStarTable

Parameters:

irow - the index of the row to retrieve

Returns:

an array of the objects in each cell in row irow

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is an error reading the data

getRowSequence

public RowSequence getRowSequence()
                           throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: StarTable

Returns an object which can iterate over all the rows in the table sequentially.

Specified by:

getRowSequence in interface StarTable

Specified by:

getRowSequence in class AbstractStarTable

Returns:

an object providing sequential access to the table data

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there is an error providing access

close
