57 // The TempImage name comes from its role as the Image class for temporary
58 // storage.
59 // </etymology>
60 
61 // <synopsis>
62 // The class <src>TempImage</src> is useful for storing temporary images
63 // for which it is not known whether they can be held in memory.
64 // It uses class <linkto class=TempLattice>TempLattice</linkto> to
65 // hold the image in memory when it is small enough. Otherwise it is
66 // held in a temporary file. Similarly to <src>TempLattice</src>
67 // one can give the maximum memory to use to control when the image
68 // can be held in memory.
69 // <br>
70 // The other Image information like coordinates, units, and miscinfo
71 // is held in member variables and disappears when the TempImage object
72 // is destructed.
73 // <p>
74 // It is possibly to temporarily close a TempImage, which only takes effect
75 // when it is created as a PagedArray. In this way it is possible to reduce
76 // the number of open files in case a lot of TempImage objects are used.
77 // A temporarily closed TempImage will be reopened automatically when needed.
78 // It can also be reopened explicitly.
79 // </synopsis>

84 // </example>
85 
86 // <motivation>
87 // The size of astronomical data can be very large. The ability to fit an
88 // entire image into random access memory cannot be guaranteed. Paging from
89 // disk pieces of the image appeared to be the way to deal with this problem.
90 // </motivation>
