Prerequisite

Synopsis

The ScalarQuantColumn class provides read/write access to quanta stored in a scalar Quantum Table column. The Quantum column should already exist in the table and would have been defined by means of a TableQuantumDesc object. In addition, for a ScalarQuantColumn object to be useful the column should contain Quanta.

A ScalarQuantColumn object is used much in the same way as a ScalarColumn object.

Quantum Units

Quanta retrieved from the column will normally have the Unit that was specified when the Quantum column was defined. However, it is possible to override the default column Unit by supplying a Unit in the ScalarQuantColumn constructor. When constructed in this fashion the retrieved Quanta will by default be retrieved in this unit, i.e. they will by default be converted to this unit.
By giving a unit (as a Unit or Quantum object) to a get function, the data can be retrieved in another unit than the default.

Example

Quantum<Double> q(5.3, "keV");
// "QuantScalar" has previously been defined as a Quantum column
// by means of a TableQuantumDesc. This example assumes the column
// already contains quanta.
ScalarQuantColumn<Double> qCol(qtab, "QuantScalar");
// return and print quanta as stored in the column
for (i = 0; i < qtab.nrow(); i++) {
cout << qCol(i) << endl;
}
// The following retrieves and converts the quanta to GHz.  They
// are then divided by the Quantum constant QC::h (Planck).
for (i=0; i < qtab.nrow(); i++) {
cout << (qCol(i, "GHz"))/(QC::h);
}

Motivation

Add support for Quanta in the Tables system.

Thrown Exceptions

TableInvOper if the Table column is null.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ScalarQuantColumn() [1/4]

template<class T >

casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::ScalarQuantColumn ( )

The default constructor creates a null object.

It is useful for creating arrays of ScalarQuantColumn objects. Attempting to use a null object will produce a segmentation fault so care needs to be taken to initialise the objects by using the attach() member before any attempt is made to use the object. The isNull() member can be used to test if a ScalarQuantColumn object is null.

◆ ScalarQuantColumn() [2/4]

template<class T >

casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::ScalarQuantColumn	(	const Table &	tab,
		const String &	columnName
	)

Create the ScalarQuantColumn from the specified table and column name.

The default unit for data retrieved is the unit in which they were stored.

◆ ScalarQuantColumn() [3/4]

template<class T >

casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::ScalarQuantColumn	(	const Table &	tab,
		const String &	columnName,
		const Unit &
	)

Create the ScalarQuantColumn from the specified table and column name.

The default unit for data retrieved is the given unit (the data is converted as needed).

◆ ScalarQuantColumn() [4/4]

template<class T >

casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::ScalarQuantColumn ( const ScalarQuantColumn< T > & that )

Copy constructor (copy semantics).

◆ ~ScalarQuantColumn()

template<class T >

casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::~ScalarQuantColumn ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ attach() [1/2]

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::attach	(	const Table &	tab,
		const String &	columnName
	)

Attach a column to the object.

Optionally supply a default unit which has the same meaning as the constructor unit argument.

◆ attach() [2/2]

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::attach	(	const Table &	tab,
		const String &	columnName,
		const Unit &
	)

◆ cleanUp()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::cleanUp ( )

private

Deletes allocated memory etc.

Called by destructor and any member which needs to reallocate data.

◆ get() [1/3]

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::get	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		Quantum< T > &	q
	)		const

Get the quantum stored in the specified row.

◆ get() [2/3]

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::get	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		Quantum< T > &	q,
		const Quantum< T > &	other
	)		const

Get the quantum in the specified row, converted to the unit in other.

◆ get() [3/3]

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::get	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		Quantum< T > &	q,
		const Unit &
	)		const

Get the quantum in the specified row, converted to the given unit.

◆ getColumn()

template<class T >

std::shared_ptr<Quantum<Vector<T> > > casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::getColumn ( const Unit & unit = "" ) const

Get the column as a Quantum<Vector<T> >.

If unit is not empty, the returned Quantum will have that unit. Else if the units are variable, the values in the returned Vector have been converted to the unit of the 0th row entry. Otherwise, the units of the returned Quantum are the units specified in the column descriptor.

◆ getData()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::getData	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		Quantum< T > &	q
	)		const

private

Get the data without possible conversion.

◆ getUnits()

template<class T >

const String& casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::getUnits ( ) const

inline

Returns the column's value for Units as a string.

An empty string is returned if the column has variable units.

Definition at line 187 of file ScalarQuantColumn.h.

References casacore::Unit::getName(), and casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::itsUnit.

◆ init()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::init	(	const Table &	tab,

template<class T >

Quantum<T> casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::operator()	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		const Quantum< T > &	other
	)		const

◆ operator()() [3/3]

template<class T >

Quantum<T> casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::operator()	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		const Unit &
	)		const

Return the quantum stored in the specified row, converted to the given unit.

◆ operator=()

template<class T >

ScalarQuantColumn& casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::operator= ( const ScalarQuantColumn< T > & that )

private

Assignment makes no sense in a read only class.

Declaring this operator private makes it unusable.

◆ operator==()

template<class T >

Bool casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::operator== ( const ScalarQuantColumn< T > & that )

private

Comparison is not defined, since its semantics are unclear.

◆ put()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::put	(	rownr_t	rownr,
		const Quantum< T > &	q
	)

Put a quantum into the table.

If the column supports variable units the q's unit is stored into the unit column defined in the TableQuantumDesc object. If units are fixed for the column, the quantum is converted as needed.

◆ reference()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::reference ( const ScalarQuantColumn< T > & that )

Change the reference to another column.

◆ throwIfNull()

template<class T >

void casacore::ScalarQuantColumn< T >::throwIfNull ( ) const
