Method Detail

getCoords

public Coord[] getCoords()

Description copied from interface: MultiPointCoordSet

Returns the coordinate definitions.

Specified by:

getCoords in interface MultiPointCoordSet

Returns:

coords

getPointCount

public int getPointCount()

Description copied from interface: MultiPointCoordSet

Returns the number of (non-central) data positions defined by this coord set.

Specified by:

getPointCount in interface MultiPointCoordSet

Returns:

data position count

readSize

public double readSize(Tuple tuple,
                       int icol,
                       double[] xyz0)

Description copied from interface: SkyMultiPointCoordSet

Returns the characteristic size of the multi-point structure represented by a supplied tuple. The returned value is a measure of linear extent on the tangent plane of the multi-point data contained in the tuple, in the same units as the size-defining parts of the input.

Specified by:

readSize in interface SkyMultiPointCoordSet

Parameters:

tuple - tuple

icol - index of tuple field corresponding to the first of the coordinates in this set

xyz0 - nDataDim-element array giving central data position

Returns:

linear extent of multi-point shape on the tangent plane

readPoints

public boolean readPoints(Tuple tuple,
                          int icol,
                          double[] xyz0,
                          double unitInDegrees,
                          SkyDataGeom geom,
                          double[][] xyzExtras)

Description copied from interface: SkyMultiPointCoordSet

Reads the non-central points from a appropriate span of columns in a supplied tuple.

The central data position must be supplied as input. The icExtra value gives the column corresponding to the first coord of this coordinate set in the sequence; the following few columns are assumed to correspond 1:1 to the coords in this coord set.

Specified by:

readPoints in interface SkyMultiPointCoordSet

Parameters:

tuple - tuple

icol - index of tuple field corresponding to the first of the coordinates in this set

xyz0 - nDataDim-element array giving central data position

unitInDegrees - unit in degrees of the size-defining tuple values

geom - converter between tuple values and data space coordinates

xyzExtras - [nPointCount][nDataDim]-shaped array into which the non-central data positions will be written

Returns:

true iff the conversion was successful

createForm

public static MultiPointForm createForm()

Creates a MultiPointForm that can plot ellipses on the sky, corresponding to this coordset.

Returns:

new form
