Constructor Detail

ExplodedStarTable

public ExplodedStarTable(StarTable baseTable,
                         boolean[] colFlags)

Constructs a table in which specified columns are exploded. All of the specified columns must have values which are fixed-length arrays.

Parameters:

baseTable - base table

colFlags - array of flags the same length as the number of columns in baseTable; true elements indicate columns in the base table which should be exploded

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any column specified by colFlags has a type which is not a fixed-length array

ExplodedStarTable

public ExplodedStarTable(StarTable baseTable)

Constructs a table in which all fixed-length array-valued columns are exploded.

Parameters:

baseTable - base table

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

Overrides:

getColumnCount in class WrapperStarTable

Returns:

the number of columns

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

Overrides:

getColumnInfo in class WrapperStarTable

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 interface: StarTable

Returns the contents of a given table cell. The class of the returned object should be the same as, or a subclass of, the class returned by getColumnInfo(icol).getContentClass().

Specified by:

getCell in interface StarTable

Overrides:

getCell in class WrapperStarTable

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

Specified by:

getRow in interface StarTable

Overrides:

getRow in class WrapperStarTable

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
