Detailed Description

A specialized form of Channel which reads and writes FITS header cards.

Writing an Object to a FitsChan will, if the Object is suitable, generate a description of that Object composed of FITS header cards, and reading from a FitsChan will create a new Object from its FITS header card description.

While a FitsChan is active, it represents a buffer which may contain zero or more 80-character "header cards" conforming to FITS conventions. Any sequence of FITS-conforming header cards may be stored, apart from the "END" card whose existence is merely implied. The cards may be accessed in any order by using the FitsChan's Card attribute, which identifies a "current" card, to which subsequent operations apply. Searches based on keyword may be performed (using findFits), new cards may be inserted (putFits, putCards, setFitsS and similar) and existing ones may be deleted with delFits, extracted with getFitsS and similar, or changed with setFitsS and similar.

Missing Methods

Tables are not yet supported, so the following AST functions are not wrapped as methods:

• astGetTables
• astPutTable
• astPutTables
• astRemoveTables
• astTableSource

Attributes

FitsChan has the following attributes, in addition to those provided by Channel and Object

• AllWarnings: A list of the available conditions
• Card: Index of current FITS card in a FitsChan
• CardComm: The comment of the current FITS card in a FitsChan
• CardName: The keyword name of the current FITS card in a FitsChan
• CardType: The data type of the current FITS card in a FitsChan
• CarLin: Ignore spherical rotations on CAR projections?
• CDMatrix: Use a CD matrix instead of a PC matrix?
• Clean: Remove cards used whilst reading even if an error occurs?
• DefB1950: Use FK4 B1950 as default equatorial coordinates?
• Encoding: System for encoding Objects as FITS headers
• FitsAxisOrder: Sets the order of WCS axes within new FITS-WCS headers
• FitsDigits: Digits of precision for floating-point FITS values
• FitsTol: Tolerance used for writing a FrameSet using a foreign encoding
• Iwc: Add a Frame describing Intermediate World Coords?
• NCard: Number of FITS header cards in a FitsChan
• Nkey: Number of unique keywords in a FitsChan
• SipOK: Use Spitzer Space Telescope keywords to define distortion?
• SipReplace: Ignore inverse SIP coefficients (replacing them with fit coefficients or an iterative inverse)?
• TabOK: Should the FITS "-TAB" algorithm be recognised?
• PolyTan: Use PVi_m keywords to define distorted TAN projection?
• Warnings: Produces warnings about selected conditions

Notes

• Call setFitsU to store a keyword that has no associated value (i.e. a card with unknown value).
• Call setFitsCM to store a pure comment card (i.e. a card with a blank keyword).
• To assign a new value for an existing keyword, first find the card describing the keyword using findFits, and then use the appropriate setFits function (e.g. setFitsS) to overwrite the old value.

As for any Channel, when you create a FitsChan, you specify a Stream which sources and sinks data by reading and writing FITS header cards. If you provide a source, it is used to fill the FitsChan with header cards when it is accessed for the first time. If you do not provide a source, the FitsChan remains empty until you explicitly enter data into it (e.g. using putFits, putCards, write or by using the SourceFile attribute to specifying a text file from which headers should be read). When the FitsChan is deleted, any remaining header cards in the FitsChan will be written to the sink.

Coordinate system information may be described using FITS header cards using several different conventions, termed "encodings". When an AST Object is written to (or read from) a FitsChan, the value of the FitsChan's Encoding attribute determines how the Object is converted to (or from) a description involving FITS header cards. In general, different encodings will result in different sets of header cards to describe the same Object. Examples of encodings include the DSS encoding (based on conventions used by the STScI Digitised Sky Survey data), the FITS-WCS encoding (based on a proposed FITS standard) and the NATIVE encoding (a near loss-less way of storing AST Objects in FITS headers).

The available encodings differ in the range of Objects they can represent, in the number of Object descriptions that can coexist in the same FitsChan, and in their accessibility to other (external) astronomy applications (see the Encoding attribute for details). Encodings are not necessarily mutually exclusive and it may sometimes be possible to describe the same Object in several ways within a particular set of FITS header cards by using several different encodings.

The detailed behaviour of read and write, when used with a FitsChan, depends on the encoding in use. In general, however, all successful use of read is destructive, so that FITS header cards are consumed in the process of reading an Object, and are removed from the FitsChan (this deletion can be prevented for specific cards by calling the retainFits function). An unsuccessful call of read (for instance, caused by the FitsChan not containing the necessary FITS headers cards needed to create an Object) results in the contents of the FitsChan being left unchanged.

If the encoding in use allows only a single Object description to be stored in a FitsChan (e.g. the DSS, FITS-WCS and FITS-IRAF encodings), then write operations using write will over-write any existing Object description using that encoding. Otherwise (e.g. the NATIVE encoding), multiple Object descriptions are written sequentially and may later be read back in the same sequence.

clear()

void ast::Object::clear ( std::string const &  attrib )

inlineinherited

Clear the values of a specified set of attributes for an Object.

Clearing an attribute cancels any value that has previously been explicitly set for it, so that the standard default attribute value will subsequently be used instead. This also causes the astTest function to return the value zero for the attribute, indicating that no value has been set.

Return a deep copy of this object.

This is called by copy.

Each subclass must override this method. The standard implementation is:

delFits()

void ast::FitsChan::delFits ( )

inline

Delete the current FITS card.

The current card may be selected using the Card attribute (if its index is known) or by using findFits (if only the FITS keyword is known). After deletion, the following card becomes the current card.

Definition at line 230 of file FitsChan.h.

emptyFits()

void ast::FitsChan::emptyFits ( )

inline

Delete all cards and associated information from a FitsChan.

Notes

• This method simply deletes the cards currently in the FitsChan. Unlike astWriteFits, they are not first written out.
• Any Tables or warnings stored in the FitsChan are also deleted.

Definition at line 244 of file FitsChan.h.

                     {
        astEmptyFits(getRawPtr());
        assertOK();
    }

findFits()

FoundValue< std::string > ast::FitsChan::findFits	(	std::string const &	name,
		bool	inc
	)

Search for a card in a FitsChan by keyword.

The search commences at the current card (identified by the Card attribute) and ends when a card is found whose FITS keyword matches the template supplied, or when the last card in the FitsChan has been searched.

Warning

this is very different than the getFitsX methods such as getFitsS, whose search wraps around. In order to search all keys using findFits you must first call clearCard.

If the search is successful (i.e. a card is found which matches the template), the contents of the card are returned and the Card attribute is adjusted to identify the card found (if inc false) or the one following it (if inc is true).

If the search is not successful, the Card attribute is set to the "end-of-file".

Parameters

[in]	name	The keyword to be found. In the simplest case, this should simply be the keyword name (the search is case insensitive and trailing spaces are ignored). However, this template may also contain "field specifiers" which are capable of matching a range of characters (see the "Keyword Templates" section for details). In this case, the first card with a keyword which matches the template will be found. To find the next FITS card regardless of its keyword, you should use the template "%f".
[in]	inc	If false (and the search is successful), the FitsChan's Card attribute will be set to the index of the card that was found. If true, however, the Card attribute will be incremented to identify the card which follows the one found.

Returns

data as a FoundValue

Keyword Templates

The templates used to match FITS keywords are normally composed of literal characters, which must match the keyword exactly (apart from case). However, a template may also contain "field specifiers" which can match a range of possible characters. This allows you to search for keywords that contain (for example) numbers, where the digits comprising the number are not known in advance.

A field specifier starts with a "%" character. This is followed by an optional single digit (0 to 9) specifying a field width. Finally, there is a single character which specifies the

type of character to be matched, as follows:

• "c": matches all upper case letters,
• "d": matches all decimal digits,
• "f": matches all characters which are permitted within a FITS keyword (upper case letters, digits, underscores and hyphens).

If the field width is omitted, the field specifier matches one or more characters. If the field width is zero, it matches zero or more characters. Otherwise, it matches exactly the number of characters specified. In addition to this:

• The template "%f" will match a blank FITS keyword consisting of 8 spaces (as well as matching all other keywords).
• A template consisting of 8 spaces will match a blank keyword (only).

For example:

• The template "BitPix" will match the keyword "BITPIX" only.
• The template "crpix%1d" will match keywords consisting of "CRPIX" followed by one decimal digit.
• The template "P%c" will match any keyword starting with "P" and followed by one or more letters.
• The template "E%0f" will match any keyword beginning with "E".
• The template "%f" will match any keyword at all (including a blank one).

Examples

auto foundvalue = fitschan.findFits("%f", true)

Return the current FITS card and advance the @ref FitsChan_Card "Card" attribute
to the card that follows (the "%f" template matches any keyword).

`auto foundvalue = fitschan.findFits("BITPIX", false)

Return the next FITS card with the "BITPIX" keyword
and leave the @ref FitsChan_Card "Card" attribute pointing to it.
You might wish to then call `setFitsI(...)` to modify its value.

auto foundvalue = fitscan.findFits("COMMENT", true)

Return the next COMMENT card and advance the @ref FitsChan_Card "Card" attribute
to the card that follows.

auto foundvalue = fitschan.findFits("CRVAL%1d", true)

Return the next keyword of the form "CRVALi" (for example,
any of the keywords "CRVAL1", "CRVAL2" or "CRVAL3" would be matched).
Advance the @ref FitsChan_Card "Card" attribute to the card that follows.

fromAstObject()

template<typename Class >

template std::shared_ptr< Object > ast::Object::fromAstObject< Object > ( AstObject *  rawObj, bool  copy  )

staticinherited

Given a bare AST object pointer return a shared pointer to an ast::Object of the correct type.

The returned object takes ownership of the pointer. This is almost always what you want, for instance astDecompose returns shallow copies of the internal pointers.

Template Parameters

Class

The class of the returned shared pointer. (The actual class will be the correct class of rawPtr.)

Parameters

[in]	rawObj	A bare AST object pointer
[in]	copy	If True then make a deep copy of the pointer (and free the original)

[in]	name	Name of keyword, or empty for the current card
[in]	defval	Value to return if keyword not found

Returns

value as a FoundValue, where found is false if the keyword was not found

Notes

• The FITS standard says that string keyword values should be padded with trailing spaces if they are shorter than 8 characters. For this reason, trailing spaces are removed from the returned string if the original string (including any trailing spaces) contains 8 or fewer characters. Trailing spaces are not removed from longer strings.

lock()

void ast::Object::lock ( bool  wait )

inlineinherited

Lock this object for exclusive use by the calling thread.

The thread-safe public interface to AST is designed so that an error is reported if any thread attempts to use an Object that it has not previously locked for its own exclusive use using this function. When an Object is created, it is initially locked by the thread that creates it, so newly created objects do not need to be explicitly locked. However, if an Object pointer is passed to another thread, the original thread must first unlock it (using astUnlock) and the new thread must then lock it (using astLock) before the new thread can use the Object.

Parameters

[in]

wait

If the Object is curently locked by another thread then this function will either report an error or block. If a non-zero value is supplied for "wait", the calling thread waits until the object is available for it to use. Otherwise, an error is reported and the function returns immediately without locking the Object.

Notes

• The Locked object will belong to the current AST context.
• This function returns without action if the Object is already locked by the calling thread.
• If simultaneous use of the same object is required by two or more threads, Object::copy should be used to to produce a deep copy of the Object for each thread. Each copy should then be unlocked by the parent thread (i.e. the thread that created the copy), and then locked by the child thread (i.e. the thread that wants to use the copy).
• This function returns without action if the AST library has been built without POSIX thread support (i.e. the "-with-pthreads" option was not specified when running the "configure" script).

purgeWcs()

void ast::FitsChan::purgeWcs ( )

inline

Delete all cards in a FitsChan that relate to any of the recognised WCS encodings.

On exit, the current card is the first remaining card in the FitsChan.

Definition at line 595 of file FitsChan.h.

putCards()

void ast::FitsChan::putCards ( std::string const &  cards )

inline

Replace all FITS header cards.

The cards are supplied concatenated together into a single character string. Any existing cards in the FitsChan are removed before the new cards are added. The FitsChan is "re-wound" on exit. This means that a subsequent invocation of read can be made immediately without the need to re-wind the FitsChan first.

Parameters

[in]

cards

A string containing the FITS cards to be stored. Each individual card should occupy 80 characters in this string, and there should be no delimiters, new lines, etc, between adjacent cards. The final card may be less than 80 characters long. This is the format produced by the fits_hdr2str function in the CFITSIO library.

Definition at line 616 of file FitsChan.h.

                                          {
        astPutCards(getRawPtr(), cards.c_str());
        assertOK();
    }

putFits()

void ast::FitsChan::putFits ( std::string const &  card, bool  overwrite  )

inline

Store a FITS header card in a FitsChan.

The card is either inserted before the current card or over-writes the current card, depending on overwrite.

Parameters

[in]	card	A character string containing the FITS cards to be stored. Each individual card should occupy 80 characters in this string, and there should be no delimiters, new lines, etc, between adjacent cards. The final card may be less than 80 characters long. This is the format produced by the fits_hdr2str function in the CFITSIO library.
[in]	overwrite	if false, the new card is inserted in before the current card. If true the new card replaces the current card. In either case, the Card attribute is then incremented by one so that it subsequently identifies the card following the one stored.

Notes

• If the Card attribute initially points at the "end-of-file" (i.e. exceeds the number of cards in the FitsChan), then the new card is appended as the last card in the FitsChan.
• An error will result if the supplied string cannot be interpreted as a FITS header card.

Definition at line 644 of file FitsChan.h.

                                                        {

        assertOK();
    }

read()

std::shared_ptr< Object > ast::Channel::read ( )

inherited

    if (!rawRet) {
        throw std::runtime_error("Could not read an AST object from this channel");
    }
    return Object::fromAstObject<Object>(rawRet, false);
}

readFits()

void ast::FitsChan::readFits ( )

inline

Read cards from the source and store them in the FitsChan.

This normally happens once-only, when the FitsChan is accessed for the first time. This function provides a means of forcing a re-read of the external source, and may be useful if (say) new cards have been deposited into the external source. Any new cards read from the source are appended to the end of the current contents of the FitsChan.

Notes

• This is a no-op if the Stream has no source.

Definition at line 661 of file FitsChan.h.

                    {
        astReadFits(getRawPtr());
        assertOK();
    }

retainFits()

void ast::FitsChan::retainFits ( )

inline

Keep the current card when an Object is read that uses the card.

Cards that have not been flagged in this way are removed when a read operation completes succesfully, but only if the card was used in the process of creating the returned Object. Any cards that are irrelevant to the creation of the Object are retained whether or not they are flagged.

Definition at line 674 of file FitsChan.h.

                      {
        astRetainFits(getRawPtr());

same()

bool ast::Object::same ( Object const &  other ) const

inlineinherited

Does this contain the same AST object as another?

This is a test of identity, not of equality.

Definition at line 212 of file Object.h.

{ return astSame(getRawPtr(), other.getRawPtr()); }

set()

void ast::Object::set ( std::string const &  setting )

inlineprotectedinherited

Assign a set of attribute values, over-riding any previous values.

The attributes and their new values are specified via a character string, which should contain a comma-separated list of the form: "attribute_1 = value_1, attribute_2 = value_2, ... " where "attribute_n" specifies an attribute name, and the value to the right of each " =" sign should be a suitable textual representation of the value to be assigned. This value will be interpreted according to the attribute's data type.

Notes

• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space
• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space.
• White space may also surround attribute values, where it will generally be ignored (except for string-valued attributes where it is significant and forms part of the value to be assigned).
• To include a literal comma or percent sign in the value assigned to an attribute, the whole attribute value should be enclosed in quotation markes.

setFitsS()

void ast::FitsChan::setFitsS ( std::string const &  name, std::string  value, std::string const &  comment = "", bool  overwrite = false  )

inline

Create a new card of type string, possibly overwriting the current card.

Parameters

[in]	name	Name of keyword for the new card. This may be a complete FITS header card, in which case the keyword to use is extracted from it.
[in]	value	the value of the card.
[in]	comment	Comment to associated with the keyword. If blank, then any comment included in the string supplied for the name parameter is used instead. If name contains no comment, then any existing comment in the card being over-written is retained. Otherwise, no comment is stored with the card.
[in]	overwrite	if true the new card formed from the supplied keyword name, value and comment over-writes the current card, and the current card is incremented to refer to the next card (see the Card attribute). If false, the new card is inserted before the current card and the current card is left unchanged. In either case, if the current card on entry points to the "end-of-file", the new card is appended to the end of the list.

Notes

• The FITS standard says that string keyword values should be padded with trailing spaces if they are shorter than 8 characters. For this reason, trailing spaces are removed from the returned string if the original string (including any trailing spaces) contains 8 or fewer characters. Trailing spaces are not removed from longer strings.
• If the requested card is found, it becomes the current card; otherwise the current card is left pointing at the end-of-file
• If the stored keyword values is not of the requested type, it is converted (if possible) into the requested type
• If the keyword is found but has no associated value, an error is reported. If necessary, the testFits function can be used to determine if the keyword has a defined value, prior to calling this function.

• To assign a new value for an existing keyword, first find the card describing the keyword using findFits, and then use the appropriate setFits function to over-write the old value.
• If, on exit, there are no cards following the card written by this function, then the current card is left pointing at the "end-of-file" .
• An error will be reported if the keyword name does not conform to FITS requirements.

test()

bool ast::Object::test ( std::string const &  attrib ) const

inlineinherited

Has this attribute been explicitly set (and not subsequently cleared)?

Warning

Unlike the underlying astTest function, throws an exception if an error results

Notes

• Attribute names are not case sensitive and may be surrounded by white space.
• As you might expect, the returned value for a read-only attribute is always false.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if an error results.

Definition at line 250 of file Object.h.

                                             {

        return res;
    }

testFits()

FitsKeyState ast::FitsChan::testFits

(

std::string const &

name = ""

)

const

Determine if a card is present, and if so, whether it has a value.

Parameters

[in]

name

Name of keyword, or empty for the current card

Notes

• This function does not change the current card.
• If name is not empty then the card following the current card is checked first. If this is not the required card, then the rest of the FitsChan is searched, starting with the first card added to the FitsChan. Therefore cards should be accessed in the order they are stored in the FitsChan (if possible) as this will minimise the time spent searching for cards.
• An error will be reported if the keyword name does not conform to FITS requirements.

Definition at line 132 of file FitsChan.cc.

                                                           {
    int there;
    int hasvalue = astTestFits(getRawPtr(), cstrOrNull(name), &there);
    assertOK();
    if (hasvalue) {
        return FitsKeyState::PRESENT;
    }
    return there ? FitsKeyState::NOVALUE : FitsKeyState::ABSENT;
}

unlock()

void ast::Object::unlock ( bool  report = false )

inlineinherited

Unlock this object previously locked using lock, so that other threads can use this object.

See lock for further details.

Parameters

[in]

report

If true, an error will be reported if the supplied Object, or any Object contained within the supplied Object, is not currently locked by the running thread. If false, such Objects will be left unchanged, and no error will be reported.

Notes

• This function attempts to execute even if AST's global error status is set, but no further error report will be made if it subsequently fails under these circumstances.
• All unlocked Objects are excluded from AST context handling until they are re-locked using astLock.
• This function returns without action if the Object is not currently locked by any thread. If it is locked by the running thread, it is unlocked. If it is locked by another thread, an error will be reported if "error" is non-zero.
• This function returns without action if the AST library has been built without POSIX thread support (i.e. the "-with-pthreads" option was not specified when running the "configure" script).

Definition at line 280 of file Object.h.

                                     {
        astUnlock(getRawPtr(), static_cast<int>(report));
        assertOK();
    }

warnings()

KeyMap ast::Channel::warnings ( ) const

inherited

Return a KeyMap holding the text of any warnings issued as a result of the previous invocation of read or write.

If no warnings were issued, an empty KeyMap will be returned. Such warnings are non-fatal and will not prevent the read or write operation succeeding. However, the converted object may not be identical to the original object in all respects. Differences which would usually be deemed as insignificant in most usual cases will generate a warning, whereas more significant differences will generate an error.

The " Strict" attribute allows this warning facility to be switched off, so that a fatal error is always reported for any conversion error.

Definition at line 67 of file Channel.cc.

                               {
    AstKeyMap *rawKeyMap =
            reinterpret_cast<AstKeyMap *>(astWarnings(reinterpret_cast<AstChannel const *>(getRawPtr())));
    assertOK();
    return rawKeyMap ? KeyMap(rawKeyMap) : KeyMap();
}

    return ret;
}

writeFits()

void ast::FitsChan::writeFits ( )

inline

Write out all cards currently in the channel and clear the channel.
