Synopsis

PositionEngine defines Engines (user defined functions) that can be used in TaQL to convert Measures for positions. In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.

In TaQL these functions can be called like:

meas.pos (toref, pos)
meas.wgs (pos)
meas.itrfxyz (pos)
For example,
meas.pos ('ITRF', [1e6m,1e6m,1e6m], 'WGS84')

toref is a single constant string defining the reference frame to convert to. Note it should be omitted for the functions (e.g., meas.wgs) with an implicit destination reference frame. The reference type WGS84 or ITRF can optionally have the suffix XYZ, LLH, LL (or LONLAT) and H (or HEIGHT) telling how the result should be returned.
pos specifies the position(s) which can be done in various ways.
- An array of positions given as xyz, as lonlat, as lon-lat-height or as height. The latter is taken towards the pole. Note that specifying as lon-lat-height precludes use of units (angle and length units cannot be mixed in a TaQL value). It can be given as a single list or a multi-dim array. If given as lonlat it can be followed by an array defining the height for each lon,lat pair (their sizes should match). Finally it can be followed by a string defining the source reference type, which defaults to ITRF for x,y,z and WGS84 for lon,lat. The source reference type can contain the suffix XYZ, LLH, LL or H to tell how the values are specified. If no suffix is given, it is derived from the unit of the first value (angle means LL, length means XYZ).
- If a single constant position is used, it can be given as 1, 2 or 3 scalar values, optionally followed by the source reference type. If x,y,z or lon,lat or lon,lat,h or h is given is derived in the same way as above.
- The name of a column in a table or a subset of it such as POSITION[0,]. Often this is a TableMeasures column which is recognized as such, also its source reference frame. If such a column is used in a expression, it will not be recognized as a TableMeasures column and its reference frame should be given.
- As a list containing (case-insensitive) names of known observatories such as 'WSRT' or 'VLA'.

The result of the function is an array with shape [2|3,pos] if lon,lat(,h) or x,y,z is returned and shape [pos] if height is returned. The last element is the shape of the position argument. It is omitted if it has length 1. In such a case getting the height results in a scalar.

Example

// Get the WGS84 lon,lat of WSRT (in degrees).
meas.wgsll ('WSRT') deg
// Get the ITRF x,y,z of WSRT and VLA.
meas.itrfxyz (['WSRT', 'VLA'])

Motivation

It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.
