Etymology

TiledCellStMan is the Tiled Storage Manager storing each cell as a separate hypercube.

Synopsis

TiledCellStMan is a derivation from TiledStMan, the abstract tiled storage manager class. A description of the basics of tiled storage managers is given in the Tables module description.

TiledCellStMan allows the user to create a tiled hypercube for each data cell in an automatic way. It is meant to be used for storing regularly shaped data like images (where the table contains a possibly differently shaped image in each row).

The TiledCellStMan has the following (extra) properties:

Addition of a row results in the addition of a hypercube in which the data cells in that row will be stored. Thus each row of the hypercolumn is stored in its own hypercube. Note that a hypercolumn has a given dimensionality, so each data cell in the hypercolumn has to match that dimensionality.
Although there are multiple hypercubes, an id value is not needed. The row number serves as the id value.
Coordinates for the hypercubes can be defined and (of course) their shapes have to match the hypercube shape. Their values have to be put explicitly (so it is not possible to define them via an addHypercube call like in TiledDataStMan).
It is possible to define a (default) tile shape in the TiledCellStMan constructor. When setting the shape of the array in a row (using ArrayColumn::setShape), it is possible to override that default for the hypercube in this particular row.

Motivation

This tiled storage manager does not require any special action (like calling add/extendHypercube) when used with a column containing variable shaped arrays.

Example

// Define the table description and the columns in it.
TableDesc td ("", "1", TableDesc::Scratch);
td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>  ("RA", 1));
td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>  ("Dec", 1));
td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>  ("Velocity", 1));
td.addColumn (ArrayColumnDesc<float>  ("Image", 3));
// Define the 3-dim hypercolumn with its data and coordinate columns.
// Note that its dimensionality must match the dimensionality
// of the data cells.
td.defineHypercolumn ("TSMExample",
3,
stringToVector ("Image"),
stringToVector ("RA,Dec,Velocity"));
// Now create a new table from the description.
SetupNewTable newtab("tTiledCellStMan_tmp.data", td, Table::New);
// Create a TiledCellStMan storage manager for the hypercolumn
// and bind the columns to it.
TiledCellStMan sm1 ("TSMExample");
newtab.bindAll (sm1);
// Create the table.
Table table(newtab);
// Define the values for the coordinates of the hypercube.
Vector<float> raValues(512);
Vector<float> DecValues(512);
Vector<float> VelocityValues(64);
indgen (raValues);
indgen (decValues, float(100));
indgen (velocityValues, float(200));
ArrayColumn<float> ra (table, "RA");
ArrayColumn<float> dec (table, "Dec");
ArrayColumn<float> velocity (table, "Velocity");
ArrayColumn<float> image (table, "Image");
Cube<float> imageValues(IPosition(3,512,512,64));
indgen (imageValues);
// Write some data into the data columns.
for (uInt i=0; i<4; i++) {
table.addRow();
image.put (i, imageValues);
ra.put (i, raValues);
dec.put (i, decValues);
velocity.put (i, velocityValues);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::TiledCellStMan::TiledCellStMan	(	const String &	hypercolumnName,
		const IPosition &	defaultTileShape,
		uInt64	maximumCacheSize = `0`
	)

Create a TiledDataStMan storage manager for the hypercolumn with the given name.

The columns used should have the FixedShape attribute set. The hypercolumn name is also the name of the storage manager. The given tile shape will be used as the default for the hypercube in each cell. Per cell it can be redefined via ArrayColumn::setShape. The given maximum cache size (default is unlimited) is persistent, thus will be reused when the table is read back. Note that the class ROTiledStManAccessor allows one to overwrite the maximum cache size temporarily. Its description contains a discussion about the effects of setting a maximum cache.
The constructor taking a Record expects fields in the record with the name of the arguments in uppercase. If not defined, their default value is used.
