Prerequisite

Synopsis

EpochEngine defines Engines (user defined functions) that can be used in TaQL to convert Measures for epochs. In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.

In TaQL these functions can be called like:

meas.epoch (toref, time, fromref)
meas.last (time, fromref, pos, posref)
For example,
meas.epoch ('UTC', 1e9 s, 'WGS84')

All functions have data type double and unit radian.

A epoch can also be a table column which usually knows its type. It can also be an expression (e.g. EPOCH[0,]) which also knows the type.

Motivation

It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.

Member Function Documentation

Array<Double> casacore::EpochEngine::getArrayDouble ( const TableExprId id)

Get the values.

Array<MEpoch> casacore::EpochEngine::getEpochs ( const TableExprId id)

Get the epochs.

void casacore::EpochEngine::handleEpoch ( std::vector< TENShPtr > &  args,
uInt argnr 
)

Handle the argument(s) giving the input epochs and reference type.

The epoch can be a column in a table.

virtual void casacore::EpochEngine::handleValues ( TableExprNode operand,
const TableExprId id,
Array< MEpoch > &  positions 
)
privatevirtual

Let a derive class handle the values.

Implements casacore::MeasEngine< MEpoch >.

void casacore::EpochEngine::setConverter ( MEpoch::Types  toType,
Bool  sidFrac 
)

Set the MeasConvert object.

void casacore::EpochEngine::setPositionEngine ( PositionEngine engine)

Set the possible position engine.

It can be done only once.

Bool casacore::EpochEngine::sidFrac ( ) const
inline

Tell if the fraction has to be used for sidereal times.
