64 // <etymology>
65 // The PagedImage name comes from its role as the Image class with paging
66 // from persistent memory. Users are thus invited to treat the
67 // PagedImage instances like Casacore Lattices
68 // </etymology>
69 
70 // <synopsis>
71 // All Casacore Images are Lattices. They may be treated like any other Lattice;
72 // getSlice(...), putSlice(...), LatticeIterator for iterating, etc.
73 // ArrayImages contain a map, a mask for that map, and coordinate
74 // information. This provides a Lattice interface for images and their
75 // respective coordinates. Additional functionality is defined by the
76 // ImageInterface class.
77 //
78 // You can use the global function <src>imagePixelType</src> to determine
79 // what the pixel type of an image is before you open the image if your
80 // code can work with Images of many possible types, or for error checking.
81 //
82 // </synopsis>
83 
84 // <example>
85 // This example shows how to create a mask for an image, fill it, and
86 // make it known to the image.
87 // <srcblock>
88 // // Open the image (as readonly for the moment).
89 // PagedImage<Float> myimage ("image.name");
90 // // Create a mask for the image.
91 // // The mask will be stored in a subtable of the image.
92 // LCPagedMask mask (RegionHandler::makeMask (myimage, "mask.name"));
93 // // Fill the mask with whatever values (e.g. all True).
94 // mask.set (True);
95 // // Make the mask known to the image (with name mask1).
96 // myimage.defineRegion ("mask1", mask, RegionHandler::Masks);
97 // // Make the mask the default mask for this image.
98 // myimage.setDefaultMask ("mask1");
99 // </srcblock>
100 // It is possible to create as many masks as one likes. They can all
101 // be defined as masks for the image (with different names, of course).
102 // However, only one of them can be the default mask (the mask used
103 // by default when the image is opened). When another mask has to be
104 // used, one can do two things:
105 // <ul>
106 // <li> Use setDefaultMask to make the other mask the default mask.
107 // This is advisable when the change should be more or less permanent.
108 // <li> Open the PagedImage without using a default mask. Thereafter
109 // a <linkto class=SubImage>SubImage</linkto> object can be created
110 // from the PagedImage and the mask. This is advisable when it the
111 // mask has to be used only one time.
112 // </ul>
113 // </example>
114 
115 // <motivation>
116 // The size of astronomical data can be very large. The ability to fit an
117 // entire image into random access memory cannot be guaranteed. Paging from
118 // disk pieces of the image appeared to be the way to deal with this problem.
119 // </motivation>
120 
121 //
122 // <note>
123 // When you make a new PagedImage, and you are transferring
124 // information from some other PagedImage, be aware that you
125 // must copy, manually, things like miscInfo, imageInfo, units,
126 // logSink (history) to the new file.
127 // </note>
128 // <todo asof="1996/09/04">
129 // <li> The CoordinateSystem::store() function returns a TableRecord. That
130 // TableRecord should be stored in the same row as our image. This will
131 // allow ImageStack members to have their own coordinate frames.
