Enclosing class:
FitsTableWriter

public static enum FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode extends Enum<FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode>
Enumeration for variable-length array value storage options. Usually just TRUE and FALSE will be used, P and Q are rather special interest.
  • Enum Constant Details

    • FALSE

      public static final FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode FALSE
      All arrays are stored as fixed-length in the body of the table.
    • TRUE

      public static final FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode TRUE
      Variable-length arrays are stored on the heap, using a suitable pointer size for indirection.
    • P

      public static final FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode P
      Variable-length arrays are stored on the heap, using a 32-bit pointer size ('P' array descriptor) for indirection.
    • Q

      public static final FitsTableWriter.VarArrayMode Q
      Variable-length arrays are stored on the heap, using a 64-bit pointer size ('Q' array descriptor) for indirection.
