Class HduFitsTableWriter

java.lang.Object

uk.ac.starlink.table.StreamStarTableWriter

uk.ac.starlink.fits.AbstractFitsTableWriter

uk.ac.starlink.fits.HduFitsTableWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

MultiStarTableWriter, StarTableWriter

Deprecated.

Use uk.ac.starlink.votable.UnifiedFitsTableWriter instead

@Deprecated
public class HduFitsTableWriter
extends AbstractFitsTableWriter

TableWriter which writes a single extension BINTABLE HDU containing the table. It differs from FitsTableWriter in that it does not write a primary HDU, so the result will only form a legal FITS file if it is appended to an existing FITS file which already has a primary HDU, and possibly other extension HDUs already. This class can be used to generate a multi-extension FITS file.
