matlab.io.fits.createFile
Create FITS file
Syntax
fptr = createFile(filename)
Description
fptr = createFile(filename)
creates a FITS file. An error will be
returned if the specified file already exists, unless the filename is prefixed with an
exclamation point (!). In that case CFITSIO will overwrite (delete) any existing file
with the same name. Specify filename
as a character vector or string
scalar.
This function corresponds to the fits_create_file (ffinit)
function
in the CFITSIO library C API.
Examples
Create a new FITS file.
import matlab.io.* fptr = fits.createFile('myfile.fits'); fits.createImg(fptr,'uint8',[256 512]); fits.closeFile(fptr); fitsdisp('myfile.fits');
