Detailed Description

template<class Ms>
class casacore::MeasRef< Ms >

Reference frame for physical measures.

Intended use:

Public interface

Review Status

Reviewed By:

UNKNOWN

Date Reviewed:

before2004/08/25

Test programs:

tMeasure

Prerequisite

• MRBase : the MeasRef base class
• Quantum class
• Measure class

Etymology

From Measure and Reference frame

Synopsis

MeasRef specifies the reference frame for a physical quantity specified by one of the derived Measure classes (e.g. MEpoch). It is derived from MRBase, which describes the class.

MeasRef containres are created using the Measure::Ref class (e.g. MDirection::Ref).

Example

See Measure for an example

Motivation

To gather all reference frame information in the one class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef

(

)

Construct an empty MeasRef.

I.e. it will have a standard, default, type; no offsets and Frame.

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef

(

const MeasRef< Ms > &

other

)

Copy constructor.

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef ( const uInt  tp )

explicit

Construct a reference with specified type, offset and Frame.

Caution: The following should really be (and should still be called as), but compiler does not accept it, due to incomplete definition when called in MeasBase:
MeasRef(Ms::Types tp); Furthermore, default arguments are not supported with templated classes:

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef	(	const uInt	tp,
		const Ms &	ep
	)

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef	(	const uInt	tp,
		const MeasFrame &	mf
	)

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::MeasRef	(	const uInt	tp,
		const MeasFrame &	mf,
		const Ms &	ep
	)

template<class Ms>

casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::~MeasRef

static

template<class Ms>

static const MeasFrame& casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::framePosition ( MRBase &  ref1, MRBase &  ref2  )

static

Return the first frame which has specified information.

Checking is done in argument order.

Thrown Exceptions

• AipsError if neither reference has a frame or the proper type

template<class Ms>

static const MeasFrame& casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::frameRadialVelocity ( MRBase &  ref1, MRBase &  ref2  )

static

template<class Ms>

virtual MeasFrame& casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::getFrame ( )

virtual

Return the frame of reference.

Implements casacore::MRBase.

template<class Ms>

virtual uInt casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::getType ( ) const

virtual

Return the type of the reference
Caution: the following should really be (and should be interpreted as), but cannot create a virtual function:
Ms::Types getType();

Implements casacore::MRBase.

template<class Ms>

virtual const Measure* casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::offset ( ) const

virtual

(

const MeasRef< Ms > &

other

)

const

Check if unequal MeasRef.

template<class Ms>

static const String& casacore::MeasRef< Ms >::showMe ( )

static

Check the type of Measure the reference can be used for.
