Class lsst::afw::table::SourceRecord

class SourceRecord : public lsst::afw::table::SimpleRecord

Record class that contains measurements made on a single exposure.

Sources provide four additions to SimpleRecord / SimpleRecord:

• Specific fields that must always be present, with specialized getters. The schema for a SourceTable should always be constructed by starting with the result of SourceTable::makeMinimalSchema.

• A shared_ptr to a Footprint for each record.

• A system of aliases (called slots) in which a SourceTable instance stores keys for particular measurements (a centroid, a shape, and a number of different fluxes) and SourceRecord uses this keys to provide custom getters and setters. These are not separate fields, but rather aliases that can point to custom fields. See the SlotDefinition hierarchy for more information.
