componentlist.concatenate - Function

1.2.1 Append components from another componentlist.


Description

The concatenate function copies the specified component(s), from the specified to list, to the end of the current list. The components are specified by numbering them from one to the length of the list. You cannot append components to a list that has been opened read only but the list you are copying from may be readonly.

You use a vector of indices to copy a number of components at once. By default all components are copied.

Example

 
       cl.addcomponent(flux=1.0, dir=’J2000 19h00m00 -40d00m00’)  
       cl.addcomponent(flux=2.0, dir=’J2000 19h10m00 -40d00m00’)  
       cl.addcomponent(flux=3.0, dir=’J2000 19h00m00 -40d00m00’)  
       cl2 = cltool();  
       cl2.concatenate(cl.torecord(), [0,2]);  
       cl.done()  
       cl2.rename(’part_list.cl’);  
       cl2.done()  
    We make a 3 component component list and  
    copies the first and third component to another a componentlist  
    that was initially empty. These components are then saved to the  
    table called part_list.cl.  
 
      cl.close() ### make sure we start with empty componentlist  
      cl.concatenate(’crux.cl’, [0,2]);  
      cl.rename(’crux-copy.cl’);  
      cl.done()  
 
    This example reads a componentlist from a casa table and  
    copies the first and third component to another a componentlist  
    that was initially empty. These components are then saved to the  
    table called crux-copy.cl.
