Class FitsFactory

java.lang.Object

nom.tam.fits.FitsFactory

public class FitsFactory
extends Object

This class contains the code which associates particular FITS types with header and data configurations. It comprises a set of Factory methods which call appropriate methods in the HDU classes. If -- God forbid -- a new FITS HDU type were created, then the XXHDU, XXData classes would need to be added and this file modified but no other changes should be needed in the FITS libraries.
