OITools V2

This page gathers the enhancements on the JMMC OITools library focused on the OIFITS data handling.

Its main features are:

• read / write OIFITS files (V1 + extensions OImaging)
• read / write FITS image(s) (primary HDU, extra Image HDU)
• data model description: meta-data for keywords, columns, tables
• in-memory data structures to deal with tables (columns, keywords) and derived columns (hard-coded & expression support)
• validation (command-line interface + web interface)
• serialization in TSV / XML formats (used by oidb)

Enhancements

Tests

TODO: describe the JUnit tests + file structure

• Copy files
  • Load & write reference OIFits files
  • README on the file OIFits for explain the choose
  • Creating file for a fits file V1
  • Compare the OIFitsFile structures (all tables, all keywords, all columns, headercards)
  • Compare the nom.tam.Fits (raw HDUs): TODO: fix comparisons

TODO

• For save a lot of value we have getter but no setter, we will do getter and setter for a lot of value
• OIFitsFile => FitsImages add to creating file
• look and test the checker/verification file
• Generalize the min and max method
• Generalize the DevColunm for all types

Setters API

To easily fill tables (keywords, columns), a simple setter API will be implemented:

/**
* Define the column value for the given row (index)
*/
(OITable).setColumn(int row, (Type) value)

/**
* Define all column values for the given row (index)
*/
(OITable).setRow(int row, values...)
