Cfitsio Toolkit - import_fits

import_fits

Import the fits functions into a fits.xxxxx variable, to emulate importing the fits namespace.

Examples

 # import the fits functions so don't have to use the full namespace each time
 import_fits;

 # open the file
 fd = fits.openFile('tst0012.fits');

 # get number of hdus in the file
 n = fits.getNumHDUs (fd);
 # without using the import, we would have to use the long form
 # of function access
 n = matlab.io.fits.getNumHDUs (fd);

 # for each hdu, go to it, print out the type
 for j = 1:n
   hdutype = fits.movAbsHDU (fd, j);
   printf ('HDU %d:  "%s"\n', j, hdutype);
 endfor

 # close the file
 fits.closeFile (fd);
