Package nom.tam.fits.utilities

Class FitsLineAppender

java.lang.Object
nom.tam.fits.utilities.FitsLineAppender
@Deprecated public class FitsLineAppender extends Object
Deprecated.
(for internal use) Replaced by the package-level nom.tam.fits.HeaderCardFormatter.

This class handles the writing of a card line. It keeps track of the position in the line and will limit it to 80 characters. A write will never cross the line border but a write when the line is at position 80 will start a new line.

This class probably should have been in the nom.tam.util package but somehow ended up here, so we'll have to stick with it.
