Inheritance diagram for casa::BaseColumnDesc:


Internal
"Base" indicates that this is a base class for the specialized column description classes.
BaseColumnDesc is an abstract class describing a column in a table. Various XXXXColumnDesc classes are derived from it to describe the various types of columns, among them ArrayColumnDesc<T> and ScalarcolumnDesc<T>. These derived classes are used to construct a column description which can be added to the TableDesc.
BaseColumnDesc contains functions common to all kinds of column descriptions. It contains a TableRecord to attach simple keywords to the column description (e.g. to define a scale-factor). This keyword set serves as the initial keyword set for the column when a table gets instantiated from a table description.
The ColumnDesc class is an envelope around BaseColumnDesc, which can be used to get information about existing column descriptions.
This abstract base class defines the common features required of all concrete column description classes. It also provides the hook (for letter objects) required by ColumnDesc, the envelope class.

| void casa::BaseColumnDesc::setNdim | ( | uInt | ndim | ) |
Set the number of dimensions.
This is only allowed for arrays. ndim can be zero to clear the number of dimensions and the shape. Otherwise it can only be used if the dimensionality has not been defined yet.

| void casa::BaseColumnDesc::setShape | ( | const IPosition & | shape | ) |
Set the predefined shape.
This is only allowed for arrays, for which the shape has not been defined yet. If the dimensionality has already been defined, it must match. It will set the option FixedShape if not set yet.
The first version leaves the Direct option as is. The second version sets the Direct option as given.
Referenced by casa::ColumnDesc::setShape().
| void casa::BaseColumnDesc::setOptions | ( | int | options | ) |
Set the options to the given value.
Option ColumnDesc::Direct forces FixedShape. If FixedShape is not given (implicitly or explicitly), the column can have no shape, so its shape is cleared.

So far, this is only possible for columns containing String values. An exception is thrown if the column data type is not TpString. Some storage managers support fixed length strings and can store them more efficiently than variable length strings.
