Synopsis

RefRows is used to hold the row numbers forming a view on another table. It contains a vector which can hold the row numbers in 2 ways:

As a normal series of row numbers. This is used by e.g. class RefTable
As a series of Slices. In this case 3 subsequent entries in the vector are used to represent start, end, and increment. This is used by a function like ScalarColumn::getColumnRange.

Class RefRowsSliceIter can be used to iterate through a RefRows object. Each step in the iteration goes to the next a slice. If the RefRows objct contains a simple series of row numbers, each slice contains only one row number. This can degrade performance, so it is possible to use shortcuts by testing if the object contains slices (using isSliced()) and getting the row number vector directly (using rowVector()).

Motivation

RefRows is meant to have one class representing the various ways of picking row numbers. This simplifies the interface of the table and data manager classes dealing with getting/putting the data.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casa::RefRows::RefRows	(	const Vector< uInt > &	rowNumbers,
		Bool	isSliced = `False`,
		Bool	collapse = `False`
	)

Create the object from a Vector containing the row numbers.

When isSliced==False, the vector is treated as containing individual row numbers, otherwise as containing slices in the form start,end,incr. When collapse==True, it will try to collapse the individual row numbers to the slice form (to save memory).

casa::RefRows::RefRows	(	uInt	start,
		uInt	end,
		uInt	incr = `1`
	)

Create the object from a single start,end,incr slice.

casa::RefRows::RefRows ( const RefRows & other )

Copy constructor (reference semantics).

casa::RefRows::~RefRows ( )

Member Function Documentation

Vector<uInt> casa::RefRows::convert ( const Vector< uInt > & rootRownrs ) const

Convert this object to a Vector<uInt> by applying the given row numbers.

It is used to convert the RefRows object with row numbers in a RefTable to row numbers in the original root table.

Vector<uInt> casa::RefRows::convert ( ) const

Convert this object to a Vector<uInt> by de-slicing it.

I.e. it linearizes the row numbers.

uInt casa::RefRows::fillNrows ( ) const [private]

Fill the itsNrows variable.

Referenced by nrow(), and nrows().

uInt casa::RefRows::firstRow ( ) const [inline]

Return the first row in the object.

Bool casa::RefRows::isSliced ( ) const [inline]

Represents the vector a slice?

Definition at line 135 of file RefRows.h.

References itsSliced.

uInt casa::RefRows::nrow ( ) const [inline]

Definition at line 126 of file RefRows.h.

References fillNrows(), and itsNrows.

uInt casa::RefRows::nrows ( ) const [inline]

Return the number of rows given by this object.

If the object contains slices, it counts the number of rows represented by each slice.

Definition at line 124 of file RefRows.h.

References fillNrows(), and itsNrows.

RefRows& casa::RefRows::operator= ( const RefRows & other )

Assignment (copy semantics).

Bool casa::RefRows::operator== ( const RefRows & other ) const

Do this and the other object reference the same rows?

const Vector<uInt>& casa::RefRows::rowVector ( ) const [inline]

Get the row vector as is (thus sliced if the object contains slices).

It is mainly useful to get all row numbers when the object does not contain slices.
