54 // <synopsis>
55 // CalTableDesc defines the format of calibration tables in terms
56 // of table descriptors <linkto class="casacore::TableDesc">casacore::TableDesc</linkto>, as
57 // defined in the casacore::Table system. This is a base class and defines the
58 // overall calibration table structure. Specializations for both
59 // antenna-based (ViJones and SkyJones) and baseline-based (MJones)
60 // calibration tables are provided through inheritance. At present this
61 // set of classes returns the default calibration table descriptors for a
62 // given calibration table type.
63 // </etymology>

70 // <motivation>
71 // This inheritance tree defines the format of all calibration
72 // table types, both antenna- and baseline-based, to provide
73 // a unified and consistent interface to their representation
74 // as aips++ tables. An overall structure common to all calibration
75 // tables is maintained as far as possible, with common column
76 // names throughout. This class tree is primarily used by
77 // the <linkto class="CalTable"> CalTable</linkto> classes.
