Synopsis

The class contains defines the possible image types. It contains a registry containing functions to construct an image based on its type. In this way any image can be used in the image package without the need that the code must reside in the images package.

Motivation

FITS and MIRIAD needed to be moved out of the images package.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::OpenImageFunction(const String &fileName, const MaskSpecifier &)

Define the signature of a function opening an image.

Each basic image class (like FITSImage) must have a static open function with this signature. They can be registered using registerOpenImageFunction. In this way a function like openImage can create any image object without the need that all image classes are in the images package. The LogIO object can be used for possible error reporting or logging.

Member Function Documentation

static ImageTypes casacore::ImageOpener::imageType ( const String & fileName )

static

Return the type of an image with the given name.

Will throw an exception if file does not exist.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openExpr	(	const String &	expr,
		const Block< LatticeExprNode > &	nodes,
		const String &	fileName = `String()`
	)

static

Parse an image expression and return the ImageExpr<T> object for it.

The block of nodes represents optional $i arguments in the expression. The JsonKVMap gives the keys found in a persistent image.expr file.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openExpr	(	const String &	expr,
		const Block< LatticeExprNode > &	nodes,
		const String &	fileName,
		const JsonKVMap &
	)

static

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openHDF5Image	(	const String &	fileName,
		const MaskSpecifier &	= `MaskSpecifier()`
	)

static

Open an HDF5 paged image of any data type.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openImage	(	const String &	fileName,
		const MaskSpecifier &	= `MaskSpecifier()`
	)

static

Open an image in the file/table with the given name.

The specified mask will be applied (default is default mask). A null pointer is returned for an unknown image type. Non-Casacore image types must have been registered to be known. Note that class ImageProxy has a function to open an image from a file or from an image expression.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openImageConcat ( const String & fileName )

static

Open a persistent image concatenation of any type.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openImageExpr ( const String & fileName )

static

Open a persistent image expression of any type.

It reads the file written by ImageExpr::save.

static LatticeBase* casacore::ImageOpener::openPagedImage	(	const String &	fileName,
		const MaskSpecifier &	= `MaskSpecifier()`
	)

static

Open a Casacore paged image of any data type.

static void casacore::ImageOpener::registerOpenImageFunction	(	ImageTypes	,
		OpenImageFunction *
	)

static

Register an openImageFunction.

Member Data Documentation
