nom.tam.fits.Data

nom.tam.fits.RandomGroupsData

All Implemented Interfaces:

FitsElement

public class RandomGroupsData
extends Data

This class instantiates FITS Random Groups data. Random groups are instantiated as a two-dimensional array of objects. The first dimension of the array is the number of groups. The second dimension is 2. The first object in every row is a one dimensional parameter array. The second element is the n-dimensional data array.
