Summary : A Library for Handling World Coordinate Systems in Astronomy
URL : http://starlink.eao.hawaii.edu/starlink/AST
License : LGPLv3+ and LGPLv2+
Description : The AST library provides a comprehensive range of facilities for attaching
: world coordinate systems to astronomical data, for retrieving and interpreting
: that information and for generating graphical output based on it. It's main
: selling points are:
:
: * Ease of use.
: * Facilities for generating plots of generalized non-linear, potentially
: discontinuous 2-D or 3-D coordinate systems, with detailed control of the
: appearance of the plot.
: * Facilities for converting transparently between different coordinate
: systems, including a wide range of celestial, spectral and time coordinate
: systems.
: * Facilities for searching a general collection of connected coordinate
: systems for a coordinate system with any given set of characteristics.
: * Allows code for handling WCS information to be written in a general way
: without regard to the specific nature of the coordinate systems being
: handled (i.e. whether they represent sky positions, spectral positions,
: focal plane positions, pixel positions, etc).
: * Flexible system for saving and retrieving WCS information, including (but
: not limited to) a range of different popular FITS descriptions.
: * Written in C but has interfaces for C, Fortran, Java (via JNI), Perl, and
: UNIX shell.
: * Extensive documentation.
