regionmanager.fromtabletonakedrecord - Function

	Package	general
	Module	images
	Tool	regionmanager

Restore all regions from a Table to a naked record

Synopsis
fromtabletonakedrecord(tablename)

Arguments

tablename	in	The table
		Allowed:	Image tool, table tool or String

Returns
Record or fail

Description

This function restores all the regions from an AIPS++ Table to a naked record. By that we mean that the regions themselves are exposed by conversion to a record (which you can always do with function torecord) and then all the region records are placed into a record themselves. The field names of the record are the names of the regions as stored in the Table.

For the tablename argument, you can specify an image tool, a table tool, or a string. If you give a string, it should be the name of an existing AIPS++ table on disk (any kind of table).

This function is not intended for general user use since you should not generally need to break the encapsulation of a region.

Example

- im := image('hcn')
- rec := drm.fromtabletonakedrecord(im)
- field_names(rec)
