52 // <synopsis>
53 // DopplerUDF defines UDFs (user defined functions) that can be used in TaQL
54 // to convert Measures for dopplers.
55 // Special functions exist to convert to hourangle and azimuth/elevation.
56 // In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.
57 //
58 // A function is called like:
59 // <srcblock>
60 // meas.dir (toref, dir, time, pos)
61 // meas.dir (toref, dir, time, pos)
62 // For example,
63 // meas.dir ('B1950', [2rad,1rad])
64 // meas.dir ('B1950', [[2rad,1rad], 'J2000'])
65 // meas.dir ('APP', 'MOON', TIME, [[5d12m, 52deg, 11m], 'WGS84'])
66 // meas.dir ('APP', 'MOON', TIME, POSITION)
67 // Or
68 // meas.dir (toref, fromref, dir, pos, time)
69 // </srcblock>
70 // <ul>
71 // <li>
72 // <src>toref</src> is a single constant string.
73 // <li>
74 // <src>dir</src> can have various value types. A single numeric array is
75 // a series of RA,DEC in J2000. If given as a set, the last argument of the
76 // set can be the reference types of the values in the set. The values can
77 // be strings (indicating planetary objects) or value pairs giving lon,lat.
78 // The default reference type is J2000.
79 // </ul>
80 // All functions have data type double and no unit.
81 // </synopsis>
82 
83 // <motivation>
84 // It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.
