1.4.1.0 measures.listcodes

NRAO Home > CASA > CASA Toolkit Reference Manual

measures.listcodes - Function

1.4.1 get known reference code names (list indices do not necessarily correspond to enumeration indices)

Description

listcodes will produce the known reference codes for a specified measure type. It will return a record with two entries. The first is a string vector of all normal codes; the second a string vector (maybe empty) with all extra codes (like planets). NOTE: Synonyms and different code groups may be present in the code name lists. The indices in these lists therefore do not necessarily correspond to the internal CASA enumeration indices.

Arguments


Inputs
ms	the measure type for which to list
	allowed:	record
	Default:

Returns
record

Example

print "\t----\t listcodes Ex 1 \t----"
# Generate some direction
# Note that an empty or non-specified reference code will produce the
# measure with the default code for that measure type
a=me.direction()
print me.getref(a)
#’J2000’
print me.ismeasure(a)
#True
# Get the known reference codes for direction
print me.listcodes(a)
