TableHDU
public TableHDU(Header header)
throws FitsException
- Build a table from the specified FITS header.
- Parameters:
header
- to use as a template.
- Throws:
FitsException

addColumnString
public void addColumnString(String keyBase)
- Add a base keyword to the keys to be looked for
in describing a column. E.g., if a user wishes to
make sure the TLMINn keywords are associated with columns
he/she might call addColumnString("TLMIN");
This does not mean that the software will generate these
columns, only that they will be seen as associated
with the appropriate table data.
