* Package name : starlink-libast Version : 6.0.1 Upstream Author : David Berry, R.F. Warren-Smith * URL : www.starlink.ac.uk/ast * License : LGPLv2+ Programming Lang: C Description : Handle World Coordinate Systems in Astronomy AST implements an object oriented model for describing physical coordinate systems, and the transformations that exist between them. . It provides a comprehensive range of facilities for attaching world coordinate systems (WCS) to astronomical data and for retrieving and manipulating that information. . It has built-in intelligence for identifying types of celestial, spectral, time and other coordinate systems (including compound systems that combine axes of different types) and determining how to transform between them. This allows general purpose code to be written that makes no assumptions about the nature of the coordinate systems. The package is originally called "AST" and builds a library "libast". A library of that Name is already in Debian (libast -- the Library of Assorted Spiffy Things); however this is orphaned since 2008; see <http://bugs.debian.org/492497>. This package is built in preparation to build saods9 <http://bugs.debian.org/655648>. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
