…or the observation Python module. The classname() method returns in a human readable format the class name. This method is needed for full automatic typecasting in Python. Full automatic typecasting has for the moment been implemented for the observation module.
-
Automatic type casting was implemented in the GObservations.i interface using the runtime type casting information that is maintained by the SWIG interface. The function relies on a newly introduced type() method in GObservation that provides as a string the class type. The former GCTAObservation type casting constructor has been removed as it now should be obsolete.

…daries. Also streamlined the interface to avoid passing parameter indices. We now pass parameter references.

The CTA response was refactored. GCTAResponse was renamed GCTAResponseIrf, and GCTAResponse became an abstract base class for all possible CTA response functions. GCTAResponseIrf derives from GCTAResponse. Also GCTAResponseCube derives from GCTAResponse. To make this work, the GObservation::response() method now returns a pointer instead of a reference. The interface definition is such that the pointer never can be NULL. The code has been adapted to comply to this new interface. Upon reading an XML file, GCTAObservation now determines the appropriate reponse type and calls its reader. If no response is specified in the XML file, GCTAResponseIrf will be used by default.

The curvature matrix, which is equal to one-half time the Hessian matrix, is evaluated and not the covariance matrix. To make this clean, all covar terms have been renamed to curvature.
-
The abstract pointing class has been removed as so far no abstract pointing interface is needed.
-
The events() set method now takes a const reference instead of a const pointer as argument. Some methods have now been defined inline.

I went over all .hpp to make sure that the GBase.hpp file is properly included, and no supoerfluous other includes remain. I also checked that no ostream and GLog friends are no longer available. I went over all .i files to make sure that classes are derived from GBase.
