  \class SOPHYA::FitsIOHandler
The class structure is analogous to Sophya-PPersist system :
Each SOPHYA object XXX is associated with a object of class FITS_XXX 
 (inheriting from FitsFileHandler), to which input/output operations with FITS 
 files are delegated (through a class Hierarchy : FitsFile (virtual), 
 FitsInFile, FitsOutFile) . A typical example of use is the following : 

\verbatim
  int m=... ;
  SphereHEALPix<r_8> sphere1(m);           // definition of the SOPHYA object
  .... fill the sphere ....

  FITS_SphereHEALPix<r_8> fits_sph1(sphere1); 
                                           // delegated object
  fits_sph.Write("myfile.fits");           // writing on FITS file

   FITS_SphereHEALPix<r_8> fits_sph2("myfile.fits"); 
                                           // load a delegated object 
                                           // from FITS file
   SphereHEALPix<r_8> sphere2=(SphereHEALPix<r_8>)fits_sph2; 
                                           // casting the delegated object
                                           // into a SOPHYA object
\endverbatim
