Class CompressedImageData

All Implemented Interfaces:
Cloneable, FitsElement, TableData

public class CompressedImageData extends BinaryTable
FITS representation of a compressed image. Compressed images are essentially stored as FITS binary tables. They are distinguished only by a set of mandatory header keywords and specific column data structure. The image-specific header keywords of the original image are re-mapped to keywords starting with 'Z' prefixed so as to not interfere with the binary table description. (e.g. NAXIS1 of the original image is stored as ZNAXIS1 in the compressed table).
