#include <ImageHdu.h>

Detailed Description

Image HDU reader-writer.

The FITS format can accommodate images of any dimension. EleFits stores them in n-dimensional containers: Raster objects. This is visible in the ImageHdu services as a template parameter N.

When the dimension is known at compile time and fixed, it is recommended to specify it (N > 0), which allows for a few internal optimizations and brings safety as the code is less error-prone with fewer degrees of freedom.

The zero vector space (N = 0) is supported; It is used to represent HDUs with no data, as recommended in the FITS standard.

When the dimension is unknown at compile time, or is expected to change (e.g. 2D images to be merged as a 3D image), special value N = -1 can be specified. In this case, the dimension is read in the FITS file, but the user should be careful to handle all possible values.
