Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::GaussianBeam::GaussianBeam ( )

create a beam with all quantities zero (a null beam).

casacore::GaussianBeam::GaussianBeam	(	const Quantity &	major,
		const Quantity &	minor,
		const Quantity &	pa
	)

Construct a beam from a set of Quantities.

If minor > major an exception is thrown. If any units are not angular, an exception is thrown

casacore::GaussianBeam::GaussianBeam ( const Vector< Quantity > & parms )

Construct a beam from a 3-Vector of Quantities representing the major axis, the minor axis and the position angle (in that order).

If parms[1] > parms[0] (minor axis > major axis), an exception is thrown. If any units are not angular, an exception is thrown

Double casacore::GaussianBeam::getMinor ( const Unit & u ) const

returns the value portion of the minor axis in the specified units

Quantity casacore::GaussianBeam::getPA ( const Bool unwrap = True ) const

returns the position angle's value as it was at construction, unless unwrap is True, in which case the value of the angle returned will be between -90 and 90 degrees (but with unit the same as it had when this object was constructed).

Double casacore::GaussianBeam::getPA	(	const Unit &	u,
		const Bool	unwrap = `True`
	)		const

returns the value portion of the position angle in the specified units

Bool casacore::GaussianBeam::isNull ( ) const

void casacore::GaussianBeam::setPA	(	const Quantity &	pa,
		Bool	unwrap = `False`
	)

if unwrap=True, unwrap pa so its value lies in the range -90 to 90 degrees before setting it.

Record casacore::GaussianBeam::toRecord ( ) const

Vector<Quantity> casacore::GaussianBeam::toVector ( const Bool unwrap = True ) const

convert this object to a three-Vector of (major FWHM, minor FWHM, and pa).

If unwrap is True, the returned pa will fall between -90 and +90 degrees.
