Synopsis

The Coordinate class defines the generic interface whereby a pixel position is converted to a world (sky, frequency, stokes,...) position and vice versa. The pixel and world coordinates are in general multi-dimensional values. In general there need not be the same number of pixel and world axes, although this will normally be the case.

The fundamental model is that a pixel is first converted into a relative physical coordinate by:

  1. Subtracting a reference pixel value from the pixel location; then
  2. Multiplying this offset by a general transformation matrix (usually to account for rotation, but any matrix is allowed); then
  3. Multiplying this product by an increment in physical units.

After this linear stage, the final coordinate value is computed from this relative physical unit and a reference value, and possibly some other parameters. In the case of a sky position, these latter include at least the projection type. In the case of a purely linear coordinate, the reference value is merely added to the relative physical coordinate. The interface also allows the axes to be assigned names (reasonable defaults will be selected), and for physical units.

Both absolute and relative coordinates are supported. The main interface supports conversion between absolute pixel and absolute world coordinate. There are then functions to convert absolute coordinates to relative and vice versa. A relative pixel coordinate is defined according to

relative = absolute - reference

A relative world coordinate is similar, although there may be deviations from this formula (e.g. for DirectionCoordinate a cos(latitude) term is incorporated and for StokesCoordinate relative world coordinates are defined to be the same as absolute world coordinates.


Caution: All absolute pixels coordinates are zero relative;

Example

This is a base class so there is no direct example, but see the example in Coordinates.h for use of the derived classes.

Motivation

Encapsulate the common interface to coordinate conversion so that it may be used polymorphically.

Provide a common interface to getting formatted representations of coordinate values.

Different derived Coordinate types are formatted in different ways. For example, an RA/DEC DirectionCoordinate uses an HMS.SS/DMS.SS representation. A Galactic Lat/Long DirectionCoordinate uses floating format in degrees. Other derived Coordinates are formatted with scientific format or floating format. The derived class format functions provide this functionality.

You may specify the format with the format argument and a value from the enum Coordinate::formatType. If you give it the value Coordinate::DEFAULT then a sensible default is used.

A mechanism for specifying the precision number of significant digits after decimal point is provided. You can specify the precision directly when calling format if it is unambiguous how the derived Coordinate is going to be formatted. For example, a LinearCoordinate is always formatted with scientific format. However, if you are using these classes polymorphically, you don't want to have to know this and some derived Coordinates may be formatted in multiple ways (such as the DirectionCoordinate examples above). Therefore, the function getPrecision enables you to set default precisions for the different styles of formatting used variously in the base and derived classes. This function chooses the precision from these default values, according to the type of derived Coordinate that your object is and what value for format that you give (refer to the derived classes for details on this).

Some derived classes will format differently depending upon whether you want to format an absolute or offset world value input via absolute (e.g. DirectionCoordinates).

The provided worldValue must be in the native units of the Coordinate. It may be an absolute (isAbsolute=True) or relative (isAbsolute=False) value. You may choose to format the world value as absolute (showAsAbsolute=True) or relative (showAsAbsolute=False). axis specifies which axis of the Coordinate this value belongs to.

units specifies the units in which the input world value will be formatted.
If units is empty, the native unit for the given axis is used.

Some derived classes will format in units different from the native unit of the Coordinate. The units of the formatted number are returned in units. If the units string is provided, the unit must be consistent with the native unit of the coordinate. The input world value will be converted to this unit.

You can also use the Quantum interface. The units of the Quantum can then be anything consistent with the Coordinate.

The default implementation here is to format only with scientific or fixed formats. If precision is negative, a the default precision is used.

Comparison to fractional tolerance (for floating point values).

Don't compare on specified axes in Coordinate. If the comparison returns False, errorMessage() contains a message.

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ nPixelAxes()

virtual uInt casacore::Coordinate::nPixelAxes ( ) const
pure virtual

How many world/pixel axes are there in this Coordinate? While the number of world and pixel axes will generally be the same, it is not a requirement.

For example, in CoordinateSystem you could remove a pixel axis and leave the corresponding world axis. Also, if we ever implement a "SlicedCoordinate" class then there would be more world than pixel coordinates (the pixel coordinate would be a pixel number along the slice, whereas the world axes would continue to be RA/DEC).

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

pure virtual

◆ rotate()

virtual Coordinate* casacore::Coordinate::rotate ( const Quantum< Double > &  angle) const
virtual

return the result of rotating the coordinate clockwise through the specified angle.

Rotation occurs about the reference pixel. Coordinate must have exactly two pixel axes. The return type is the same as the input type. It is the caller's responsibility to delete the returned pointer when done with it to prevent a memory leak. This method ultimately just changes the input coordinate's linear transform matrix.

◆ save()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::save ( RecordInterface container,
const String fieldName 
) const
pure virtual

Used for persistence.

Derived classes will have similar static restore methods. It will typically only return False if fieldName has already been defined.

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ set_error()

Note that these just change the internal values, they do not cause any recomputation.

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ setWorldAxisUnits()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::setWorldAxisUnits ( const Vector< String > &  units)
pure virtual

Change the units.

Adjust the increment and reference value by the ratio of the old and new units. This implies that the units must be known Unit strings, and that they must be compatible, e.g. they can't change from time to length.

A default implementation is available which does everything except set the units vector, which must be done in the derived class.

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ setWorldMixRanges()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::setWorldMixRanges ( const IPosition shape)
virtual

Set the world min and max ranges, for use in function toMix, for a lattice of the given shape for this coordinate.

The default implementation here sets the range for pixels dangling 25% off the image. Returns False if fails with a reason in errorMessage(). setDefaultWorldMixRanges sets the range for each axis to +/-1e99 The ranges remain zero length vectors until you explicitly initialize them.

Reimplemented in casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ showType()

◆ toCurrentMany()

void casacore::Coordinate::toCurrentMany ( Matrix< Double > &  world,
const Vector< Double > &  toCurrentFactors 
) const
protected

Functions for handling conversion between the current units and the wcs units.

These are called explicitly by the appropriate derived class. convertFrom

◆ toMix()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::toMix ( Vector< Double > &  worldOut,
Vector< Double > &  pixelOut,
const Vector< Double > &  worldIn,
const Vector< Double > &  pixelIn,
const Vector< Bool > &  worldAxes,
const Vector< Bool > &  pixelAxes,
const Vector< Double > &  worldMin,
const Vector< Double > &  worldMax 
) const
virtual

Mixed absolute pixel/world coordinate conversion.

worldIn and worldAxes are vectors of length nWorldAxes. pixelIn and pixelAxes are of length nPixelAxes. worldAxes(i) = True specifies you have given a world value in worldIn(i) to convert to pixel. pixelAxes(i)=True specifies you have given a pixel value in pixelIn(i) to convert to world. You cannot specify the same axis via worldAxes and pixelAxes. Values in pixelIn are converted to world and put into worldOut in the appropriate world axis location. Values in worldIn are copied to worldOut. Values in worldIn are converted to pixel and put into pixelOut in the appropriate pixel axis location. Values in pixelIn are copied to pixelOut. worldMin and worldMax specify the range of the world coordinate (in the world axis units of that world axis in the CoordinateSystem) being solved for in a mixed calculation for each world axis. They are only actually needed for DirectionCoordinates and for all other Coordinates the relevant elements
can be undefined. If you don't know, use -180 to 180 degrees for longitude, and -90 to 90 for latitude. Removed axes are handled (for example, a removed pixel axis with remaining corresponding world axis will correctly be converted to world using the replacement value). Returns True if the conversion succeeds, otherwise it returns False and errorMessage() contains an error message. The output vectors are resized.

Reimplemented in casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ toWorld()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::toWorld ( Vector< Double > &  world,
const Vector< Double > &  pixel,
Bool  useConversionFrame = True 
) const
pure virtual

Convert an absolute pixel position to an absolute world position or vice versa.

Returns True if the conversion succeeds, otherwise it returns False and method errorMessage contains an error message. The input vector must be of length nPixelAxes or nWorldAxes. The output vector is resized appropriately. if useConversionFrame, if the coordinate has a conversion layer frame (such as can be present in spectral and direction coordinates), it is used. Else, the native frame is used for the conversion.

Implemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::StokesCoordinate, casacore::QualityCoordinate, casacore::LinearCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.

◆ toWorldMany()

virtual Bool casacore::Coordinate::toWorldMany ( Matrix< Double > &  world,
const Matrix< Double > &  pixel,
Vector< Bool > &  failures 
) const
virtual

Batch up a lot of transformations.

The first (most rapidly varying) axis of the matrices contain the coordinates. Returns False if any conversion failed and errorMessage() will hold a message. The failures array (True for fail, False for success) is the length of the number of conversions and holds an error status for each conversion. The default implementation is provided that works with the "single" version of toWorld and toPixel, but for maximum efficiency these should be overridden.

Reimplemented in casacore::TabularCoordinate, casacore::SpectralCoordinate, casacore::DirectionCoordinate, and casacore::CoordinateSystem.
