Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : lib-healpix-c++
Version : 3.83_2024Nov13 is the current version

Programming Lang: C++
Description : C++ library for Healpix representation of spherical data
Healpix projections are used, particularly in astronomy and physics, for
displaying and manipulating full-sphere data that
vary as a function of lat/long or RA/dec.
Debian includes a C library (libchealpix0 and libchealpix-dev) that implements
a subset of functions for
manipulating Healpix data. But that library is rather sparse as compared to the
much fuller set of functions
available in the C++ version of the library (and, of course, the functions that
the C library does provide are not
particularly easy to incorporate into programs written in an object-oriented
C++ manner, particularly if exception
handling is used). Using the C library to emulate some of the functions that
are present in the C++ library can be
done, but it requires rather detailed knowledge of the mathematics of the
Healpix projection, which an ordinary
user would not have.
This request is for the full C++ library.

The package lib-healpix-c++, that you mentioned in this RFP, is already
part of Debian as source package healpix-cxx and binary packages
libhealpix-cxx-dev + libhealpix-cxx4. So I am closing this RFP again.
Thanks!
Thorsten
