Class FitsNameGenerator

java.lang.Object

stella.ccd.FitsNameGenerator

public class FitsNameGenerator
extends Object

A class that generates unique fits-file names. The name is constructed in the following way:

• The user provides a generic name, e.g. bias or hd12545.
• Depending whether the getAbortFits(java.lang.String), the getSNFits(java.lang.String) or the getDefaultFits(java.lang.String) method is called, one of the three extensions, ABORT, SN, or REGULAR is appended to this name.
• After that, the date in the format DATEFORMAT follows.
• The separator char DATECOUNTSEPARATOR is appended.
• Now, a running integer number giving the actual fits number of the current date is appended. This integer is formated with NUMBERFORMAT.
• The extension is given by EXTENSION.
