RCNVRT

Utility/GeneralConverts rotational coordinates between the various supported representations.

Use

This function can be called by any user-defined subroutine.

Format

Fortran Calling Syntax
CALL RCNVRT(SYS1, COORD1, SYS2, COORD2, ISTAT)
C/C++ Calling Syntax
c_rcnvrt(sys1, coord1, sys2, coord2, istat)
Python Calling Syntax
[coord2, istat] = py_rcnvrt(sys1, coord1, sys2)
MATLAB Calling Syntax
[coord2, istat] = m_rcnvrt(sys1, coord1, sys2)

Attributes

SYS1
[string]
A string specifying the system in which the values are passed in coord1.
COORD1
[double precision]
An array containing the coordinates to be converted. Angles should be input in radians.
SYS2
[string]
A string specifying the system in which the values are returned as output in coord2.

Output

COORD2
[double precision]
An array containing the converted coordinates. Angles are output in radians.
ISTAT
[integer]
A variable indicating the success or the reason for the failure of the call to RCNVRT.
Possible values are:
istat = 0
Success in conversion.
istat = -10
Error in conversion.

A possible reason for an error in the conversion is a misspelled keyword for SYS1 or SYS2.
