Synopsis

This abstract base class is the basic letter for the envelope class LELCoordinates. It does not do anything, but makes it possible that derived classes (like LELLattCoord and LELImageCoord) implement their own behaviour.

Motivation

It must be possible to handle image coordinates in a lattice expression.

virtual casacore::LELLattCoordBase::~LELLattCoordBase ( )

virtual

A virtual destructor is needed so that it will use the actual destructor in the derived class.

Member Function Documentation

virtual String casacore::LELLattCoordBase::classname ( ) const

pure virtual

The name of the class.

Implemented in casacore::LELImageCoord, and casacore::LELLattCoord.

virtual Int casacore::LELLattCoordBase::compare ( const LELLattCoordBase &  other ) const

pure virtual

Check how the coordinates of this and that compare.

Implemented in casacore::LELImageCoord, and casacore::LELLattCoord.

virtual Int casacore::LELLattCoordBase::doCompare ( const LELImageCoord &  other ) const

pure virtual

Check how the coordinates of this and that image compare.

This function is used by conform to make a double virtual dispatch possible.

Implemented in casacore::LELImageCoord, and casacore::LELLattCoord.

virtual uInt casacore::LELLattCoordBase::getSpectralInfo ( Vector< Double > &  worldCoordinates, const IPosition &  shape  ) const

pure virtual

Get the coordinates of the spectral axis for the given shape.

It returns the pixel axis number of the spectral coordinates. -1 indicates that there is no pixel spectral axis. An exception is thrown if there are no world spectral coordinates.

Implemented in casacore::LELImageCoord, and casacore::LELLattCoord.

virtual Bool casacore::LELLattCoordBase::hasCoordinates ( ) const

pure virtual

Does the class have true coordinates?

Implemented in casacore::LELImageCoord, and casacore::LELLattCoord.
