8 Creating and Writing to a Binary Table Extension 19
The interface supports writing to vector tables the following data structures: C-arrays (-
T∗), std::vector objects, std::valarray objects, and std::vector. The last of these is the internal representation of the data.
The function below exercises the following functionality:
• Create a BinTable extension
• Write vector rows to the table
• Insert table rows
• Write complex data to both scalar and vector columns.
• Insert Table columns
• Delete Table rows
• Write HISTORY and COMMENT cards to the Table
