Description

The GModelAssociation class should store source association information for a given model. The method shall read and write the source information from or into an XML file. A possible XML format is:

<source name="Source_001" type="PointSource">
    <spectrum type="PowerLaw">
        ...
    </spectrum>
    <spatialModel type="PointSource">
        ....
    </spatialModel>
    <associations>
        <association name="Crab">
            <property name="RA" value="83.6331"/>
            <property name="DEC" value="22.0145"/>
            <property name="distance" value="0.0123"/>
            <property name="probability" value="0.978"/>
        </association>
    </associations>
</source>

Instances of GModelAssociation are gathered in a GModelAssociations container class that organises the reading and writing of the information. As for models, association names in a container shall be unique.

Recurrence

No recurrence.

I implemented the GModelAssociation and GModelAssociations classes and added an instance of GModelAssociations as a member to the GModel class.

I added GModel::associations() getter and setter methods to access the associations. The associations are also automatically written in the GModel::read_attributes() and GModel::write_attributes() methods, and the association names are displayed by GModel::print_attributes().

Below is the content of the test/data/crab_associations.xml file to illustrate the XML format of the associations.
