NAME

Astro::STSDAS::Table - access STSDAS format table files

DESCRIPTION

Astro::STSDAS::Table is a collection of routines to read STSDAS table files (see http://stsdas.stsci.edu/STSDAS.html for more information on the format). Casual users should peruse Astro::STSDAS::Table::Simple.

Those requiring a more flexible interface may wish to use Astro::STSDAS::Table::Binary, which is a subclass of Astro::STSDAS::Table::Base.

The package currently suffers from the following flaws:

  • Only binary tables are supported

  • Tables can only be read.

  • Reading of column-ordered binary tables is untested.

  • Reading of binary tables with vector elements is untested.
