53 // <synopsis>
54 // PositionUDF defines UDFs (user defined functions) that can be used in TaQL
55 // to convert Measures for positions.
56 // In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.
57 //
58 // A function is called like:
59 // <srcblock>
60 // meas.pos (toref, pos)
61 // For example,
62 // meas.dir ('ITRF', [1rad,1rad], 'WGS84')
63 // </srcblock>
64 // <ul>
65 // <li>
66 // <src>toref</src> is a single constant string.
67 // <li>
68 // <src>pos</src> can have various value types. A single numeric array is
69 // a series of RA,DEC in J2000. If given as a set, the last argument of the
70 // set can be the reference types of the values in the set. The values can
71 // be strings (indicating planetary objects) or value pairs giving lon,lat.
72 // The default reference type is J2000.
73 // </ul>
74 // All functions have data type double and unit radian.
75 // </synopsis>
76 
77 // <motivation>
78 // It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.
79 // </motivation>
