      public String getSkySystem()
      Returns "ICRS", which is the system defined to be used by the Cone Search specification.
      Specified by:
      getSkySystem in interface Coner
      Returns:
      ecliptic coordinate system name

    • getParameters

      public uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<?>[] getParameters()
      Description copied from interface: Coner
      Returns any configuration parameters associated with this object.
      Specified by:
      getParameters in interface Coner
      Returns:
      parameter array

    • getServiceUrlParameter

      public uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<URL> getServiceUrlParameter()
      Returns the parameter used to acquire the service URL.
      Returns:
      service URL parameter

    • getServiceTypeParameter

      public uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<ConeServiceType> getServiceTypeParameter()
      Returns the parameter used to acquire the service type.
      Returns:
      service type parameter

    • getFormatParameter

      public uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<String> getFormatParameter()
      Returns the parameter used to acquire the DAL requested data format.
      Returns:
      format parameter

    • getVerbosityParameter

      public uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<String> getVerbosityParameter()
      Returns the parameter used to acquire the requested verbosity.
      Returns:
      verbosity parameter

    • configureRadiusParam

      public void configureRadiusParam(uk.ac.starlink.task.Environment env, uk.ac.starlink.task.Parameter<?> srParam) throws uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException
      Description copied from interface: Coner
      Provides this object with a chance to perform custom configuration on certain general cone search parameters. If no customisation is required, no action need be taken. This will be called during the parameter acquisition phase, before the relevant parameters have been interrogated. Since the execution environment is given however, it will not be called during automatic document generation.
      Specified by:
      configureRadiusParam in interface Coner
      Parameters:
      env - execution environment
      srParam - search radius parameter
      Throws:
      uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException

    • useDistanceFilter

      public boolean useDistanceFilter(uk.ac.starlink.task.Environment env) throws uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException
      Description copied from interface: Coner
      Indicates whether the result table generated by the created ConeSearcher object should be subjected to additional filtering to ensure that only rows in the specified search radius are included in the final output.
      Specified by:
      useDistanceFilter in interface Coner
      Parameters:
      env - execution environment
      Returns:
      true iff post-query filtering on distance is to be performed
      Throws:
      uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException

    • createSearcher

      public ConeSearcher createSearcher(uk.ac.starlink.task.Environment env, boolean bestOnly) throws uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException
      Description copied from interface: Coner
      Returns a searcher object which can perform the actual cone searches as configured by this object's parameters. If the bestOnly flag is set, then only the best match is required. The implementation may use this as a hint if it helps efficiency, but is not obliged to return single-row tables, since extraneous rows will be filtered out later. Similarly any rows which do not actually match the given criteria will be filtered out later, so it is not an error to return too many rows.
      Specified by:
      createSearcher in interface Coner
      Parameters:
      env - execution environment
      bestOnly - true iff only the best match will be used
      Throws:
      uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException

    • getCoverage

      public Coverage getCoverage(uk.ac.starlink.task.Environment env) throws uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException
      Description copied from interface: Coner
      Returns a coverage object suitable for use with the cone search service configured by this object's parameters.
      Specified by:
      getCoverage in interface Coner
      Parameters:
      env - execution environment
      Returns:
      coverage footprint, or null
      Throws:
      uk.ac.starlink.task.TaskException

    • setNside

      public void setNside(int nside)
      Sets the NSIDE parameter for MOC coverage maps. Defaults to -1, which means no settting (up to service).
      Parameters:
      nside - HEALPix NSIDE parameter for MOCs
