//
// <synopsis>
// MSDerivedValues is a class that computes values derived from those present
// in a MeasurementSet. E.g., calculate feed position angles on the sky from
// time, antenna positions and feed characteristics.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// // calculate the parallactic angle and the observatory velocity for the
// // first time and first source in the MS.
// // set up 
// MSDerivedValues msd;
// MS myMS("myMS");
// MSColumns msc(myMS);
// msd.setAntennas(msc.antenna());
// MEpoch ep=MS::epochMeasure(msc.time());
// ep.set(MVEpoch(Quantity(msc.time()(0),"s")));
// msd.setEpoch(ep);
// MDirection dir=MS::directionMeasure(msc.field().phaseDir());
// dir.set(MVDirection(Vector<Double>(msc.field().phaseDir()(0))));
// msd.setFieldCenter(dir);
// msd.setVelocityFrame(MRadialVelocity::LSRK);
// // now we are ready for the calculations:
// Double parAngle = msd.parangle();
// MRadialVelocity observatoryVel = msd.obsVel();
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Values derived from those in a MS are needed in various places, e.g., for
// plotting purposes. This class combines the commonly needed calculations 
// in one place.
