Synopsis

MappedArrayEngine is a virtual column engine which maps an array of one type to another type (without any scaling).

An engine object should be used for one column only, because the stored column name is part of the engine. If it would be used for more than one column, they would all share the same stored column. When the engine is bound to a column, it is checked if the name of that column matches the given virtual column name.

The engine can be used for a column containing any kind of array (thus direct or indirect, fixed or variable shaped)) as long as the virtual array can be stored in the stored array. Thus a fixed shaped virtual can use a variable shaped stored, but not vice versa. A fixed shape indirect virtual can use a stored with direct arrays.

Motivation

For precision it is sometimes needed to store the visibility data in a MeasurementSet in double precision. To be able to use other applications on such data, it is needed to map them to single precision.

Because the engine can serve only one column, it was possible to combine the engine and the column functionality in one class. This has been achieved using multiple inheritance. The advantage of this is that only one templated class is used, so less template instantiations are needed.

Example

// Create the table description and 2 columns with indirect arrays in it.
// The Int column will be stored, while the double will be
// used as virtual.
TableDesc tableDesc ("", TableDesc::Scratch);
tableDesc.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<Int> ("storedArray"));
tableDesc.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<double> ("virtualArray"));
// Create a new table using the table description.
SetupNewTable newtab (tableDesc, "tab.data", Table::New);
// Create the array mapping engine to map from double to Int
// and bind it to the double column.
// Create the table.
MappedArrayEngine<double,Int> mappingEngine("virtualArray",
"storedArray", 10);
newtab.bindColumn ("virtualArray", mappingEngine);
Table table (newtab);
// Store a 3-D array (with dim. 2,3,4) into each row of the column.
// The shape of each array in the column is implicitly set by the put
// function. This will also set the shape of the underlying Int array.
ArrayColumn data (table, "virtualArray");
Array<double> someArray(IPosition(4,2,3,4));
someArray = 0;
for (uInt i=0, i<10; i++) {          // table will have 10 rows
table.addRow();
data.put (i, someArray)
}
