[Kst] readField() in a datasource

Dear Nicholas,

My understanding is the same as yours regarding the expected arguments and the fact that frameCount should return the number of samples to read from the field. V is normally sized accordingly.
I can't really help further here, other than suggesting you to use QtCreator to debug (in case you're not doing so already) as it is very convenient. What value does frameCount() return and which s and n args do you receive in readField()?

Betreff: [Kst] readField() in a datasource

Hi, I'm struggling with a bug with the FitsTable plugin.  I've discovered that on my mac, some Fits tables can't be read (Kst crashes), but those same files open fine on a different machine running linux.  Both are 64-bit.  My theory is that very long tables are causing the problem.  I would like some help understanding the
readField() function in a datasource.  For example, from FitsTable:
int FitsTableSource::readField(double *v, const QString& field, int s, int n) {

My understanding is that v is the array which needs to have values added to it.  Kst will read v to then plot the data.  n is then the length of v, which has already been allocated by Kst.

Is that correct?  If so, how does Kst know what the value of n should be for a given field?  I thought it was from the function, e.g.

int FitsTableSource::frameCount(const QString& field) const {

which should return the size of a given field.  If so, then I don't understand why the value of n passed to readField() is not the correct value.  I wonder if this is an int versus long int thing.

Thanks,

Nicholas Chapman
