Detailed Description

Defines the fields and offsets for a table.

Schema behaves like a container of SchemaItem objects, mapping a descriptive Field object with the Key object used to access record and ColumnView values. A Schema is the most important ingredient in creating a table.

Because offsets for fields are assigned when the field is added to the Schema, Schemas do not support removing fields, though they do allow renaming.

Field names in Schemas are expected to be dot-separated names (e.g. 'a.b.c'). The SubSchema class and Schema::operator[] provide a heirarchical interface to these names, but are implemented entirely as string splitting/joining operations that ultimately forward to member functions that operate on the fully-qualified field name, so there is no requirement that names be separated by periods, and no performance advantage to using a SubSchema.

A SchemaMapper object can be used to define a relationship between two Schemas to be used when copying values from one table to another or loading/saving selected fields to disk.

Schema uses copy-on-write, and hence should always be held by value rather than smart pointer. When creating a Python interface, functions that return Schema by const reference should be converted to return by value (returnCopy) to ensure proper memory management and encapsulation.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum lsst::afw::table::Schema::ComparisonFlags

Bit flags used when comparing schemas.

All quantities are compared in insertion order, so if two schemas have the same fields added in opposite order, they will not be considered equal.

Enumerator
EQUAL_KEYS	Keys have the same types offsets, and sizes.
EQUAL_NAMES	Fields have the same names (ordered).
EQUAL_DOCS	Fields have the same documentation (ordered).
EQUAL_UNITS	Fields have the same units (ordered).
EQUAL_FIELDS	Fields are identical (but aliases may not be).
EQUAL_ALIASES	Schemas have identical AliasMaps.
IDENTICAL	Everything is the same.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

lsst.afw.table::Schema::Schema ( )

Construct an empty Schema.

lsst.afw.table::Schema::Schema ( Schema const & other )

Copy constructor.

Member Function Documentation

void lsst.afw.table::Schema::_edit ( )

private

Copy on write; should be called by all mutators (except for alias mutators).

template<typename T >

Key<T> lsst.afw.table::Schema::addField	(	Field< T > const &	field,
		bool	doReplace = `false`
	)

Add a new field to the Schema, and return the associated Key.

The offsets of fields are determined by the order they are added, but may be not contiguous (the Schema may add padding to align fields, and how much padding is considered an implementation detail).

If doReplace is true and the field exists, it will be replaced instead of throwing an exception.

template<typename T >

Key<T> lsst.afw.table::Schema::addField	(	std::string const &	name,
		std::string const &	doc,
		std::string const &	units = `""`,
		FieldBase< T > const &	base = `FieldBase<T>()`,
		bool	doReplace = `false`
	)

inline

Add a new field to the Schema, and return the associated Key.

This is simply a convenience wrapper, equivalent to:

* addField(Field<T>(name, doc, units, base), doReplace)

*

Definition at line 165 of file Schema.h.

       {
         return addField(Field<T>(name, doc, units, base), doReplace);
     }

template<typename T >

Key<T> lsst.afw.table::Schema::addField	(	std::string const &	name,
		std::string const &	doc,
		FieldBase< T > const &	base,
		bool	doReplace = `false`
	)

inline

Add a new field to the Schema, and return the associated Key.

This is simply a convenience wrapper, equivalent to:

* addField(Field<T>(name, doc, base), doReplace)

*

Definition at line 181 of file Schema.h.

       {
         return addField(Field<T>(name, doc, base), doReplace);
     }

int lsst.afw.table::Schema::compare	(	Schema const &	other,
		int	flags = `EQUAL_KEYS`
	)		const

Do a detailed equality comparison of two schemas.

See ComparisonFlags for a description of the possible return values

Parameters

[in]	other	The other schema to compare to.
[in]	flags	Which types of comparisions to perform. Flag bits not present here will never be returned.

int lsst.afw.table::Schema::contains	(	Schema const &	other,
		int	flags = `EQUAL_KEYS`
	)		const

Test whether the given schema is a subset of this.

This function behaves very similarly to compare(), but ignores fields that are present in this but absent in other.

template<typename T >

int lsst.afw.table::Schema::contains	(	SchemaItem< T > const &	item,
		int	flags = `EQUAL_KEYS`
	)		const

Return true if the given item is in this schema.

The flags must include the EQUAL_KEYS bit, and if the item cannot be found by key no bits will be set on return.

void lsst.afw.table::Schema::disconnectAliases ( )

Sever the connection between this schema and any others with which it shares aliases.

template<typename T >

SchemaItem<T> lsst.afw.table::Schema::find ( std::string const & name ) const

Find a SchemaItem in the Schema by name.

Names corresponding to named subfields are accepted, and will return a SchemaItem whose field is copied from the parent field with only the name changed.

template<typename T >

SchemaItem<T> lsst.afw.table::Schema::find ( Key< T > const & key ) const

Find a SchemaItem in the Schema by key.

Keys corresponding to named subfields are accepted, and will return a SchemaItem whose field is copied from the parent field with only the name changed. Keys corresponding to unnamed subfields (such as array elements) are not accepted.

template<typename F >

void lsst.afw.table::Schema::forEach ( F func ) const

inline

Apply a functor to each SchemaItem in the Schema.

The functor must have a templated or sufficiently overloaded operator() that supports SchemaItems of all supported field types - even those that are not present in this particular Schema.

The functor will be passed by value by default; use boost::ref to pass it by reference.

Fields will be processed in the order they were added to the schema.

         std::for_each(_impl->getItems().begin(), _impl->getItems().end(), visitor);
     }

boost::shared_ptr< AliasMap > lsst.afw.table::Schema::getAliasMap ( ) const

inline

Return the map of aliases

Note that while this is a const method, it does allow the Schema's aliases to be edited - this allows the aliases to be modified even after a Table has been constructed from the Schema.

See AliasMap for more information on schema aliases.

Return a set of field names in the schema.

If topOnly==true, return a unique list of only the part of the names before the first period. For example, if the full list of field names is ['a.b.c', 'a.d', 'e.f'], topOnly==true will return ['a', 'e'].

Returns an instance of Python's builtin set in Python.

Aliases are not returned.

int lsst.afw.table::Schema::getNonFlagFieldCount ( ) const

bool lsst.afw.table::Schema::operator!= ( Schema const & other ) const

inline

Equality comparison.

Schemas are considered equal according the standard equality operator if their sequence of keys are identical (same types with the same offsets); names and descriptions of fields are not considered. For a more precise comparison, use compare() or contains().

Definition at line 218 of file Schema.h.

bool operator==(Schema const &other) const

Equality comparison.

bool lsst.afw.table::Schema::operator== ( Schema const & other ) const

inline

Equality comparison.

Schemas are considered equal according the standard equality operator if their sequence of keys are identical (same types with the same offsets); names and descriptions of fields are not considered. For a more precise comparison, use compare() or contains().

Definition at line 217 of file Schema.h.

217 { return compare(other, EQUAL_KEYS); }

lsst.afw.table::Schema::EQUAL_KEYS

Keys have the same types offsets, and sizes.

Definition: Schema.h:61

lsst.afw.table::Schema::compare

int compare(Schema const &other, int flags=EQUAL_KEYS) const

Do a detailed equality comparison of two schemas.

SubSchema lsst.afw.table::Schema::operator[] ( std::string const & name ) const

inline

Look up a (possibly incomplete) name in the Schema.

See SubSchema for more information.

This member function should generally only be used on "finished" Schemas; modifying a Schema after a SubSchema to it has been constructed will not allow the proxy to track the additions, and will invoke the copy-on-write mechanism of the Schema itself.

void lsst.afw.table::Schema::replaceField	(	Key< T > const &	key,
		Field< T > const &	field
	)

Replace the Field (name/description) for an existing Key.

void lsst.afw.table::Schema::setAliasMap ( boost::shared_ptr< AliasMap > aliases )

Set the alias map

This resets the internal pointer to the alias map, disconnecting this schema from any others it shares aliases with.

Passing a null pointer is equivalent to passing an empty map.
