FUNCTION PROTOTYPE
void c_css2cd(int, double *, double *, double *, double *, double *);
SYNOPSIS
c_css2cd(n, rlat, rlon, x, y, z);
DESCRIPTION
- n
- The number of input lat/lon coordinates.
- rlat
- An array containing the latitudes of the input coordinates, in degrees.
- rlon
- An array containing the longitudes of the input coordinates, in degrees.
- x
- An array containing the X component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data. (x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate (rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
- y
- An array containing the Y component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data. (x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate (rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
- z
- An array containing the Z component of the Cartesian coordinates of the output data. (x[i],y[i],z[i]) is the Cartesian coordinate corresponding to the lat/lon coordinate (rlat[i],rlon[i]) for i=0 to n-1.
USAGE
c_css2cd is called to find the equivalent Cartesian coordinates on a unit sphere to specified latitude and longitude coordinates. The coordinate of 0. latitude and 0. longitude is converted to Cartesian coordinate (1.,0.,0.). Latitudes and longitudes are assumed to be in degrees. c_css2cd is a double precision version of c_css2c.RETURN VALUE
c_css2cd does not return a value.ACCESS
