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 \s-1FITS\s0 \s-1HDU\s0 from an \s-1AST\s0 FrameSet object.

It stores information about a \s-1FITS\s0 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 \s-1FITS\s0 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 \s-1AST\s0.
