Description:
This function retrieves the data values that form the FITS binary table representation
of the MOC and stores them in a supplied array. Such a table contains a single
scalar-valued column in which each row holds a signed integer identifier for a single
HEALPix cell, following the scheme described in the MOC recommendation. Depending on
the order of the
Moc, these integers may be 4 bytes or 8 bytes.
The number of rows in the table and the required integer data type are available
through the MocType and MocLength attributes of the Moc class.
The FITS headers to store in the FITS binary table can be obtained
using function astGetMocHeader.
Synopsis
void astGetMocData( AstMoc
this, size_t
mxsize, void data
)
Parameters:
this
Pointer to the Moc to be modified.
mxsize
The length of
the supplied array in bytes. An error will be reported if this value is smaller than
the number required to describe the Moc (the product of the MocType and MocLength
attributes).
data
Pointer to the area of memory in which to return the signed
integer cell identifiers. This area is assumed to contain at least "
mxsize"
bytes.
