Detailed Description

template<typename T>
struct lsst.afw.table::Field< T >

A description of a field in a table.

Field combines a type with the field name, documentation, units, and in some cases, the size of the field.

Specializations for different field types are inherited through FieldBase; see the documentation for those specializations for additional information about particular field types.

Definition at line 22 of file Field.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

template<typename T>

typedef FieldBase<T>::Element lsst.afw.table::Field< T >::Element

Type used to store field data in the table (a field may have multiple elements).

Definition at line 25 of file Field.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T>

lsst.afw.table::Field< T >::Field ( std::string const &  name, std::string const &  doc, std::string const &  units = "", FieldBase< T > const &  size = FieldBase<T>()  )

inline

Construct a new field.

Parameters

[in]	name	Name of the field. Schemas provide extra functionality for names whose components are separated by periods. It may also be practical to limit field names to lowercase letters, numbers, and periods, as only those names can be round-tripped with FITS I/O (periods are converted to underscores in FITS, but hence cannot be distinguished from underscores in field names).
[in]	doc	Documentation for the field. Should not contain single-quotes to avoid FITS round-trip problems.
[in]	units	Units for the field. Should not contain single-quotes to avoid FITS round-trip problems.
[in]	size	Size of the field as an integer, if appropriate. Field types that accept a size have a FieldBase that is implicitly constructable from an integer, so the argument type should be considered to effectively be int; using FieldBase here allows use to throw when the signature does not match the field type.

Definition at line 46 of file Field.h.

      : FieldBase<T>(size), _name(name), _doc(doc), _units(units) {}

template<typename T>

lsst.afw.table::Field< T >::Field ( std::string const &  name, std::string const &  doc, FieldBase< T > const &  size  )
