Class PaddingException

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class PaddingException extends FitsException
This exception is thrown if an error is found reading the padding following a valid FITS HDU. This padding is required by the FITS standard, but some FITS writes forego writing it. To access such data users can use something like: Fits f = new Fits("somefile"); try { f.read(); } catch (PaddingException e) { f.addHDU(e.getHDU()); } to ensure that a truncated HDU is included in the FITS object. Generally the FITS file have already added any HDUs prior to the truncated one.
