Detailed Description

Base class to define world coordinate regions of interest in an image.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

• LCRegion

Synopsis

WCRegion is the base class for world coordinate regions. The axes in a WCRegion have names (e.g. RA, DEC, FREQ) and carry sometimes an associated reference frame with it. An WCRegion object is converted to the appropriate LCRegion object when they are used to take a subset from an image. LCRegion's are pixel based and are used to access the correct pixels in the image. The conversion has the following rules:

1. All axes of the region must be axes in the image.
2. An image axis does not have to be an axis in the region. Thus the image can have a higher dimensionality than the region. If that is the case, the region is auto-extended to the image's dimensionality by using the full range for those axes.
3. The order of the axes in region and image do not have to be the same. They get reordered as needed.

Example

Motivation

User should be able to specify their regions in world coordinates as well as lattice coordinates.

Member Function Documentation

void casacore::WCRegion::addAxisDesc ( const Record &  axisDesc )

protected

Add an axis with its description.

An exception is thrown if the axis already exists in this region.

Int casacore::WCRegion::axisNr	(	const Record &	desc,
		const Record &	axesDesc
	)		const

Return the axis number of the description of an axis in the full axes description.

-1 is returned if not found.

virtual Bool casacore::WCRegion::canExtend ( ) const

virtual

Can the region extend itself? By default it cannot.

Reimplemented in casacore::WCBox, casacore::WCPolygon, casacore::WCLELMask, casacore::WCExtension, casacore::WCEllipsoid, and casa::QtWCBox.

staticprotected

void casacore::WCRegion::defineRecordFields	(	RecordInterface &	record,
		const String &	className
	)		const

Define the type and class name in the record.

virtual LCRegion* casacore::WCRegion::doToLCRegion ( const CoordinateSystem &  cSys, const IPosition &  shape, const IPosition &  pixelAxesMap, const IPosition &  extendAxes  ) const

protectedpure virtual

Convert to an LCRegion using the given coordinate system and shape.

pixelAxesMap(i) is the axis in cSys and shape for region axis i.
outOrder(i) is the axis in the output LCRegion for region axis i.
They always have the same length. If the region can extend itself, the length of pixelAxesMap and outOrder can be more than the dimensionality of the region. The latter axes in them are the extension axes.

Implemented in casacore::WCBox, casacore::WCPolygon, casacore::WCConcatenation, casacore::WCLELMask, casacore::WCUnion, casacore::WCIntersection, casacore::WCDifference, casacore::WCEllipsoid, casacore::WCExtension, casacore::WCComplement, and casa::QtWCBox.

static WCRegion* casacore::WCRegion::fromRecord ( const TableRecord &  rec, const String &  tableName  )

static

Convert correct object from a record.

const Record & casacore::WCRegion::getAxesDesc ( ) const

inline

Get the description of all axes.

Definition at line 260 of file WCRegion.h.

const Record& casacore::WCRegion::getAxisDesc

(

uInt

axis

)

const

Get the description of the given axis.

It is a record containing some fields describing the axis.

Bool casacore::WCRegion::isAxisDescEqual	(	const Record &	desc1,
		const Record &	desc2
	)		const

Are both axis descriptions equal?

Record casacore::WCRegion::makeAxesDesc ( const CoordinateSystem &  cSys ) const

protected

Make a description of all pixel axes in the coordinate system (in pixel axes order).

Record casacore::WCRegion::makeAxisDesc ( const CoordinateSystem &  cSys, uInt  pixelAxis  ) const

protected

Make a description of a pixel axis in the coordinate system.

void casacore::WCRegion::makeWorldAbsolute ( Vector< Double > &  world, const Vector< Int > &  absRel, const CoordinateSystem &  cSys, const IPosition &  shape  ) const

protected

Convert relative to absolute world as needed.

virtual uInt casacore::WCRegion::ndim ( ) const

virtual

Get the dimensionality (i.e.

the number of axes). Note that usually all axes have a description, but in some cases (e.g. WCLELMask) that may not be the case. The default implementation returns the number of axes in the axes description.

Reimplemented in casacore::WCLELMask.

Bool casacore::WCRegion::operator!= ( const WCRegion &  other ) const

inline

Definition at line 248 of file WCRegion.h.

WCRegion& casacore::WCRegion::operator= ( const WCRegion &  other )

protected

Assignment (copy semantics) makes only sense for a derived class.

virtual Bool casacore::WCRegion::operator== ( const WCRegion &  other ) const

virtual

Comparison.

Reimplemented in casacore::WCBox, casacore::WCPolygon, casacore::WCConcatenation, casacore::WCLELMask, casacore::WCUnion, casacore::WCIntersection, casacore::WCCompound, casacore::WCEllipsoid, casacore::WCDifference, casacore::WCExtension, casacore::WCComplement, and casa::QtWCBox.

void casacore::WCRegion::setComment ( const String &  comment )

inline

Definition at line 256 of file WCRegion.h.

References comment(), and itsComment.

virtual LCRegion* casacore::WCRegion::toLCRegion ( const CoordinateSystem &  cSys, const IPosition &  shape  ) const

virtual

Convert to an LCRegion using the given new coordinate system and shape.

An exception is thrown if the region's dimensionality is more than the length of the shape vector or if an axis in the region is unknown in the new coordinate system.. When less, the default implementation extends the region over the remaining axes.
If the region does not need to have coordinates (like WCLELMask) the function has to be overridden.

Reimplemented in casacore::WCLELMask.

LCRegion* casacore::WCRegion::toLCRegionAxes	(	const CoordinateSystem &	cSys,
		const IPosition &	shape,
		const IPosition &	pixelAxesMap,
		const IPosition &	outOrder
	)		const

Convert to an LCRegion using the given coordinate system and shape.

This function is meant for internal use by WCCompound objects.
pixelAxesMap(i) is the axis in cSys and shape for region axis i.
outOrder(i) is the axis in the output LCRegion for region axis i.
The length of pixelAxesMap and outOrder is the dimensionality of the output LCRegion. It can be more than the dimensionality of this WCRegion object. In that case the region gets extended along the latter axes. If the region cannot extend itself, this function will create an LCExtension object to extend the region.
Note that initially pixelAxisMap and outOrder are the same, but when called for regions in compound regions they may start to differ.

virtual TableRecord casacore::WCRegion::toRecord ( const String &  tableName ) const

pure virtual

Convert the (derived) object to a record.

The record can be used to make the object persistent. The tableName argument can be used by derived classes (e.g. LCPagedMask) to put very large objects.

Implemented in casacore::WCBox, casacore::WCPolygon, casacore::WCLELMask, casacore::WCConcatenation, casacore::WCUnion, casacore::WCIntersection, casacore::WCEllipsoid, casacore::WCDifference, casacore::WCExtension, casa::QtWCBox, and casacore::WCComplement.

virtual String casacore::WCRegion::type ( ) const

pure virtual

Return region type.

Just returns the class name of the derived class.

Implemented in casacore::WCBox, casacore::WCPolygon, casacore::WCLELMask, casacore::WCConcatenation, casacore::WCUnion, casacore::WCIntersection, casa::QtWCBox, casacore::WCEllipsoid, casacore::WCDifference, casacore::WCExtension, and casacore::WCComplement.
