Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
nom.tam.fits.HeaderCommentsMap

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
nom.tam.util.Cursor.add(KEY, VALUE) use key parameter can be omitted, so use Cursor.add(Object) instead
nom.tam.fits.Fits.checksum(byte[]) use FitsCheckSum.checksum(byte[])
nom.tam.util.ArrayFuncs.computeSize(Object) May silently underestimate the size if the size > 2 GB.
nom.tam.fits.Fits.currentSize() use Fits.getNumberOfHDUs() instead
nom.tam.fits.HeaderCommentsMap.deleteComment(String)
nom.tam.fits.Header.getCard(int) An iterator from Header.iterator(int) or Header.iterator() should be used for sequential access to the header.
nom.tam.fits.HeaderCommentsMap.getComment(String)
nom.tam.fits.BasicHDU.getEpoch() use BasicHDU.getEquinox() instead
nom.tam.fits.Header.getKey(int) An iterator from Header.iterator(int) or Header.iterator() should be used for sequential access to the header.
nom.tam.fits.FitsFactory.HDUFactory(Header, DataClass) use FitsFactory.hduFactory(Header, Data) instead
nom.tam.fits.FitsFactory.HDUFactory(Object) use FitsFactory.hduFactory(Object) instead
nom.tam.util.ArrayFuncs.nElements(Object) May silently underestimate size if number is > 2 G.
nom.tam.util.ArrayFuncs.nLElements(Object) May silently underestimate size if number is > 2 G.
nom.tam.fits.Header.pointToData(Data) Use the appropriate Header constructor.
nom.tam.util.BufferedDataInputStream.readArray(Object)
nom.tam.util.BufferedFile.readArray(Object)
nom.tam.util.ArrayDataInput.readArray(Object) use ArrayDataInput.readLArray(Object) instead.
nom.tam.util.BufferedDataInputStream.readLine() Use BufferedReader methods.
nom.tam.util.BufferedDataInputStream.readPrimitiveArray(Object) use BufferedDataInputStream.readLArray(Object) instead
nom.tam.fits.Header.removeCard(String) see Header.deleteKey(String)
nom.tam.fits.Fits.setChecksum(BasicHDU<?>) use FitsCheckSum.setChecksum(BasicHDU)
nom.tam.fits.TableHDU.setColumnMeta(int, String, String, String, boolean) use TableHDU.setColumnMeta(int, IFitsHeader, String, String, boolean)
nom.tam.fits.Header.setLongStringsEnabled(boolean)
nom.tam.fits.Header.size() use Header.getNumberOfCards(). The units of the size of the header may be unclear.
nom.tam.fits.Fits.size() The meaning of size of ambiguous. Use Fits.getNumberOfHDUs() instead. Note size() will read the input file/stream to the EOF before returning the number of HDUs which Fits.getNumberOfHDUs() does not. If you wish to duplicate this behavior and ensure that the input has been exhausted before getting the number of HDUs then use the sequence: read(); getNumberofHDUs();
nom.tam.fits.HeaderCommentsMap.updateComment(String, String)
nom.tam.util.BufferedDataOutputStream.writePrimitiveArray(Object) use BufferedDataOutputStream.writeArray(Object) instead

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
nom.tam.fits.Fits(InputStream, boolean) use Fits.Fits(InputStream) compression is auto detected.
nom.tam.fits.Fits(URL, boolean) use Fits.Fits(InputStream) compression is auto detected.

Deprecated Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
nom.tam.fits.header.Standard.BLOCKED no blocksize other that 2880 may be used.
nom.tam.fits.header.Standard.EPOCH use Standard.EQUINOX in stead
nom.tam.fits.header.Standard.RADECSYS use Standard.RADESYS instead.
nom.tam.fits.header.Compression.ZBLOCKED
