Class PlainHeaderManipulator

source code

Known Subclasses:

• GzHeaderManipulator

A class that allows header manipulation of fits files without having to touch the data.

This class exists because pyfits insists on scaling scaled image data on reading it. While we can scale back on writing, this is something I'd rather not do. So, I have this base class to facilate the HeaderManipulator that can handle gzipped fits files as well.
