- All Known Implementing Classes:

,TextTableWriter
public interface MultiStarTableWriter extends StarTableWriter
Interface for table output handlers that can write multiple tables to the same stream. It should be possible in principle (and ideally in practice using a corresponding input handler) to recover these as an array of distinct tables by reading the result later. It is not in general expected that the tables have similar characteristics.- Since:

writeStarTables
void writeStarTables(TableSequence tableSeq, java.io.OutputStream out) throws java.io.IOException
Writes an array of StarTable objects to a given output stream. The implementation can assume that the stream is suitable for direct writing (for instance it should not normally wrap it in aBufferedOutputStream
), and should not close it at the end of the call.- Parameters:
tableSeq
- sequence of tables to writeout
- destination stream- Throws:
java.io.IOException
-
writeStarTables
void writeStarTables(TableSequence tableSeq, java.lang.String location, StarTableOutput sto) throws java.io.IOException
Writes an array of StarTable objects to a given location. Implementations are free to interpret the location argument in any way appropriate for them. Typically however the location will simply be used to get an output stream (for instance interpreting it as a filename). In this case the sto argument should normally be used to turn location into a stream.- Parameters:
tableSeq
- sequence of tables to writelocation
- destination for tablessto
- StarTableOutput instance- Throws:
java.io.IOException
