Description

The method name GFitsTableCol::length() is ambiguous as it is not clear what the length of a column may be. The method should be renamed to GFitsTableCol::nrows() to make clear that the number of rows in a column is meant.

A better name should also be found for the GFitsTableCol::number() method. In principle the GFitsTableCol::elements() method should be used, but this method is already used for variable-length columns.


Recurrence

No recurrence.

Renamed GFitsTableCol::length() to GFitsTableCol::nrows().

For the moment I have no renamed the GFitsTableCol::number() method since it’s not obvious what a good name for this method should be.
