| FITS |
| FITS.osax provides commands to read FITS data files. Uses the FITSIO project. mailto:support@satimage-software.com |
alias n, pl aliases
array of real n, pl arrays of real : a packed list of small real. Can be coerced to an AppleScript list with 'as list of real'. Conversely, a list of real may be translated using 'as array of real' for fast computation.
dimensions n, pl dimensions
matrix n, pl matrices : An AppleScript representation of a 2D array of real numbers as a record
properties
ncols integer : the number of columns
nrows integer : the number of rows
array of real array of real : the data, as an array of real or as a standard AppleScript list of real numbers. Ordering: the first numbers are the data for the first row.
FITSOpen v : open a FITS file
FITSOpen alias : path to the FITS file
→ integer : a reference number to the opened file
FITSClose v : close a FITS file
FITSClose integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
FITSCount v : count data units in a FITS file
FITSCount integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
→ integer : the number of units
FITSMovein v : select a data unit in a FITS file
FITSMovein integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
to integer : the unit index or the unit name
→ string : the type of the selected unit
FITSInfo v : get info from the current unit of the opened FITS file
FITSInfo integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
[verbose boolean] : default: false. If verbose is true, FITSInfo returns the full header of the current unit. Otherwise, returns the type of the unit and the list of its dimensions.
→ record : or string if verbose
FITSPlist v : get info from the current unit of the opened FITS file as xml data
FITSPlist integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
[as type] : string or CFRef. Default: CFRef
→ string or CFRef
FITSReadImage v : read an image unit in a FITS file
FITSReadImage integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
[along integer] : axis to slice for image dimension equal to 3
[at integer] : index to read for image dimension equal to 3
→ array of real : or matrix if result is 2D.
FITSTableInfo v : Get basic info about the column of a table unit in a FITS file
FITSTableInfo integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
column integer or string : index (or name) of column
→ record : column name, number of rows and data type of the column
FITSReadTable v : Read a column of a table unit in a FITS file
FITSReadTable integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
column integer or string : index (or name) of column
→ array of real or list of string : the table column as array of real or string if the column type is string
FITSExtractimage v
FITSExtractimage integer : a reference to an opened FITS file
start list of integer : for each dimension of the image, the first element to read. 1-based
length list of integer : for each dimension of the image, number of elements to read
→ array of real or record
