Synopsis

An MVDirection is a 3-vector of direction cosines. It is based on the MVposition class. The main difference is that the length of the vector will be adjusted (normalised) to a length of 1 in all operations. It can be constructed with:

MVDirection() creates direction cosines for pole: (0,0,1)
MVDirection(MVDirection) creates a copy
MVDirection(MVPosition) creates (x,y,z) from the given position
MVDirection(Double, Double, Double) creates with specified values and adjust to length of 1.
MVDirection(Double, Double) creates a MVDirection assuming that the two values are (in radians) angle along 'equator' and towards 'pole'.
MVDirection(Quantity, Quantity) creates a MVDirection assuming angles as in previous
MVDirection(Quantum<Vector<Double> >) creates an MVDirection from angle vector, assuming second as zero if not present, and pole if length 0. Assumes a direction cosine if 3 elements
MVDirection(Vector<Double>) creates an MVDirection with the same restrictions as previous one
MVDirection(Vector<Quantum<Double> >) creates an MVDirection with the same rstrictions as previous one; but with unit check.

A void adjust() function normalises the vector to a length of 1; a get() returns as a Double 2-vector the angles of the direction cosines; a getAngle() returns a Quantum 2-vector, (uInt) returns the indicated element, and getValue returns the direction cosine vector.
Direction cosines can be added and subtracted: the result will be adjusted to a length of 1.
The multiplication of two direction cosines produces the inner product.
shift() methods are available to shift in angular coordinates. E.g. shift(Quantity(5, "arcsec"), Quantity(-7, "arcsec")) will shift 5 arcsec in longitude, and -7 arcsec in latitude. They have a trueAngle switch to shift in latitude and perpendicular (along a great circle) to it.

Example

See MDirection

Motivation

To aid coordinate transformations

To Do

check if true shifts can be done faster
