public class ColFitsPlusTableWriter extends VOTableFitsTableWriter
StarTable
in a column-oriented
FITS binary table format.
The table data is stored in a BINTABLE extension which has a single row;
each cell in this row contains the data for an entire column of the
represented table. The primary HDU is a byte array containing a
VOTable representation of the table metadata, as for
FitsPlusTableWriter
.
This rather specialised format may provide good performance for certain operations on very large, especially very wide, tables. Although it is FITS and can therefore be used in principle for data interchange, in practice most non-STIL processors are unlikely to be able to do much useful with it.
