Package jsky.image.fits.codec Description

Contains classes that implement FITS image support for JAI (a FITS codec). The main class is FITSImage. You can use this class directly, for example:

PlanarImage im = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(new FITSImage(filename));

Or in the normal JAI way with:

JAI.create("fileload", filename)

NOTE: The direct method is more efficient, especially for large image files, since it avoids an extra layer of internal file buffering and uses a RandomAccessFile (internally in the FITS I/O code: actually a BufferedFile).
