NAME
Astro::FITS::Header::AST - Manipulates FITS headers from an AST object
SYNOPSIS
use Astro::FITS::Header::AST; $header = new Astro::FITS::Header::AST( FrameSet => $wcsinfo ); $header = new Astro::FITS::Header::AST( FrameSet => $wcsinfo, Encoding => 'FITS-IRAF' ); $header = new Astro::FITS::Header::AST( Cards => @cards );
DESCRIPTION
This module makes use of the Starlink::AST module to read the FITS HDU from an AST FrameSet object. It stores information about a FITS header block in an object. Takes an hash as an argument, with an array reference pointing to an Starlink::AST FramSet object.
REVISION
$Id$
METHODS
configure Reads a FITS header from a Starlink::AST FrameSet object $header->configure( FrameSet => $wcsinfo ); Base class initialisation also works: $header->configure( Cards => @cards ); Accepts a reference to an Starlink::AST FrameSet object. If a specific encoding is required, this can be specified using the Encoding argument. Default is FITS-WCS if no Encoding is given. Note that not all framesets can be encoded using FITS-WCS. $header->configure( FrameSet => $wcsinfo, Encoding => "Native" ); If Encoding is specified but undefined, the default will be decided by AST.
