GridBackend

class beast.physicsmodel.helpers.gridbackends.GridBackend(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: object

How the content of a grid is handled. The idea is to provide enough flexibility that low-memory footprint can be achieved if needed

This class is a generic implementation that will be derived into more classes

Methods Summary

keys()	returns the grid keys
write(fname[, append])	Save the file in a format based on the filename extension
writeFITS(fname[, overwrite])	Save to fits file
writeHDF(fname[, append])	Save to HDF file
