Detailed Description

Abstract base class to define a fixed region.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

Slicer

Synopsis

The LCRegion class is the abstract base class for various types of LCRegion's (e.g. LCRegionEllipsoid, LCRegionBox). It contains the minimal bounding box of the region and, if needed, a mask with the same shape as the bounding box. A mask element is true if the element is inside the box.

Each LCRegion object must be able to convert itself to and from a record. In that way they can be made persistent (in for example a Table).

The LCRegion can be used in several Lattices and Images classes and functions to limit the area to operate on.

Example

Motivation

The Slicer class is too limited as a region, because it can only describe a rectangular region. Specialized classes are needed to describe arbitrary regions. They need a base class to combine them.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casa::LCRegionFixed::LCRegionFixed ( )

casa::LCRegionFixed::LCRegionFixed ( const IPosition & latticeShape )

Construct with the lattice shape only.

casa::LCRegionFixed::LCRegionFixed ( const LCRegionFixed & other )

Copy constructor (copy semantics).

virtual casa::LCRegionFixed::~LCRegionFixed ( ) [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

LCRegionFixed& casa::LCRegionFixed::operator= ( const LCRegionFixed & other ) [protected]

Assignment (copy semantics) is only useful for derived classes.

virtual Bool casa::LCRegionFixed::operator== ( const LCRegion & other ) const [virtual]

Comparison.

Mask is not checked. Use the LCRegionSingle::masksEqual function as well if you want to check the masks

Reimplemented from casa::LCRegion.

Reimplemented in casa::LCPolygon, casa::LCEllipsoid, casa::LCBox, and casa::LCPixelSet.

void casa::LCRegionFixed::setMask ( const Array< Bool > & mask ) [protected]

Set the mask.
