Description:
This
function allows a representation of a single FITS binary table to be stored in a
FitsChan. For instance, this may provide the coordinate look-up tables needed
subequently when reading FITS-WCS headers for axes described using the
"
-TAB
"
algorithm. Since, in general, the calling application may not know which tables will be
needed - if any - prior to calling
astRead, the astTablesSource function provides
an alternative mechanism in which a caller-supplied function is invoked to
store a named table in the FitsChan.
Synopsis
void astPutTable( AstFitsChan
this, AstFitsTable
table, const
char extnam
)
Parameters:
this
Pointer to the FitsChan.
table
Pointer to a
FitsTable to
be added to the FitsChan. If a FitsTable with the associated extension name already
exists in the FitsChan, it is replaced with the new one. A deep copy of the FitsTable
is stored in the FitsChan, so any subsequent changes made to the FitsTable will have no
effect on the behaviour of the FitsChan.
extnam
The name of the FITS extension
associated with the table.
