Detailed Description

Routines in this suite deal with units specifications and conversions, as described in

"Representations of world coordinates in FITS",

Greisen, E.W., & Calabretta, M.R. 2002, A&A, 395, 1061 (WCS Paper I)

The Flexible Image Transport System (FITS), a data format widely used in astronomy for data interchange and archive, is described in

"Definition of the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS), version 3.0",
Pence, W.D., Chiappetti, L., Page, C.G., Shaw, R.A., & Stobie, E. 2010,
A&A, 524, A42 - http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201015362

These routines perform basic units-related operations:

wcsunitse(): given two unit specifications, derive the conversion from one to the other.
wcsutrne(): translates certain commonly used but non-standard unit strings. It is intended to be called before wcsulexe() which only handles standard FITS units specifications.
wcsulexe(): parses a standard FITS units specification of arbitrary complexity, deriving the conversion to canonical units.

Function Documentation

◆ wcsunitse()

int wcsunitse	(	const char	have[],
		const char	want[],
		double *	scale,
		double *	offset,
		double *	power,
		struct wcserr **	err )

FITS units specification conversion.

wcsunitse() derives the conversion from one system of units to another.

A deprecated form of this function, wcsunits(), lacks the wcserr** parameter.

Parameters

[in]	have	FITS units specification to convert from (null- terminated), with or without surrounding square brackets (for inline specifications); text following the closing bracket is ignored.
[in]	want	FITS units specification to convert to (null- terminated), with or without surrounding square brackets (for inline specifications); text following the closing bracket is ignored.
[out]	scale,offset,power	Convert units using pow(scalevalue + offset, power); Normally offset* is zero except for log() or ln() conversions, e.g. "log(MHz)" to "ln(Hz)". Likewise, power is normally unity except for exp() conversions, e.g. "exp(ms)" to "exp(/Hz)". Thus conversions ordinarily consist of value *= scale;
[out]	err	If enabled, for function return values > 1, this struct will contain a detailed error message, see wcserr_enable(). May be NULL if an error message is not desired. Otherwise, the user is responsible for deleting the memory allocated for the wcserr struct.

Returns

Status return value:

0: Success.
1-9: Status return from wcsulexe().
10: Non-conformant unit specifications.
11: Non-conformant functions.

scale is zeroed on return if an error occurs.

◆ wcsutrne()

int wcsutrne	(	int	ctrl,
		char	unitstr[],
		struct wcserr **	err )

Translation of non-standard unit specifications.

wcsutrne() translates certain commonly used but non-standard unit strings, e.g. "DEG", "MHZ", "KELVIN", that are not recognized by wcsulexe(), refer to the notes below for a full list. Compounds are also recognized, e.g. "JY/BEAM" and "KM/SEC/SEC". Extraneous embedded blanks are removed.

A deprecated form of this function, wcsutrn(), lacks the wcserr** parameter.

Parameters

[in]	ctrl	Although "S" is commonly used to represent seconds, its translation to "s" is potentially unsafe since the standard recognizes "S" formally as Siemens, however rarely that may be used. The same applies to "H" for hours (Henry), and "D" for days (Debye). This bit-flag controls what to do in such cases: 1: Translate "S" to "s". 2: Translate "H" to "h". 4: Translate "D" to "d". Thus ctrl == 0 doesn't do any unsafe translations, whereas ctrl == 7 does all of them.
[in,out]	unitstr	Null-terminated character array containing the units specification to be translated. Inline units specifications in a FITS header keycomment are also handled. If the first non-blank character in unitstr is '[' then the unit string is delimited by its matching ']'. Blanks preceding '[' will be stripped off, but text following the closing bracket will be preserved without modification.
[in,out]	err	If enabled, for function return values > 1, this struct will contain a detailed error message, see wcserr_enable(). May be NULL if an error message is not desired. Otherwise, the user is responsible for deleting the memory allocated for the wcserr struct.

Returns

Status return value:

-1: No change was made, other than stripping blanks (not an error).
0: Success.
9: Internal parser error.
12: Potentially unsafe translation, whether applied or not (see notes).

Notes:

Translation of non-standard unit specifications: apart from leading and trailing blanks, a case-sensitive match is required for the aliases listed below, in particular the only recognized aliases with metric prefixes are "KM", "KHZ", "MHZ", and "GHZ". Potentially unsafe translations of "D", "H", and "S", shown in parentheses, are optional.

The aliases "angstrom", "ohm", and "Byte" for (Angstrom, Ohm, and byte) are recognized by wcsulexe() itself as an unofficial extension of the standard, but they are converted to the standard form here.

◆ wcsulexe()

int wcsulexe	(	const char	unitstr[],
		int *	func,
		double *	scale,
		double	units[WCSUNITS_NTYPE],
		struct wcserr **	err )

FITS units specification parser.

wcsulexe() parses a standard FITS units specification of arbitrary complexity, deriving the scale factor required to convert to canonical units - basically SI with degrees and "dimensionless" additions such as byte, pixel and count.

A deprecated form of this function, wcsulex(), lacks the wcserr** parameter.

Parameters

[in]	unitstr	Null-terminated character array containing the units specification, with or without surrounding square brackets (for inline specifications); text following the closing bracket is ignored.
[out]	func	Special function type, see note 4: 0: None 1: log() ...base 10 2: ln() ...base e 3: exp()
[out]	scale	Scale factor for the unit specification; multiply a value expressed in the given units by this factor to convert it to canonical units.
[out]	units	A units specification is decomposed into powers of 16 fundamental unit types: angle, mass, length, time, count, pixel, etc. Preprocessor macro WCSUNITS_NTYPE is defined to dimension this vector, and others such WCSUNITS_PLANE_ANGLE, WCSUNITS_LENGTH, etc. to access its elements. Corresponding character strings, wcsunits_types[] and wcsunits_units[], are predefined to describe each quantity and its canonical units.
[out]	err	If enabled, for function return values > 1, this struct will contain a detailed error message, see wcserr_enable(). May be NULL if an error message is not desired. Otherwise, the user is responsible for deleting the memory allocated for the wcserr struct.

Returns

Status return value:

0: Success.
1: Invalid numeric multiplier.
2: Dangling binary operator.
3: Invalid symbol in INITIAL context.
4: Function in invalid context.
5: Invalid symbol in EXPON context.
6: Unbalanced bracket.
7: Unbalanced parenthesis.
8: Consecutive binary operators.
9: Internal parser error.

scale and units[] are zeroed on return if an error occurs.

Notes:

wcsulexe() is permissive in accepting whitespace in all contexts in a units specification where it does not create ambiguity (e.g. not between a metric prefix and a basic unit string), including in strings like "log (m ** 2)" which is formally disallowed.
Supported extensions:
- "angstrom" (OGIP usage) is allowed in addition to "Angstrom".
- "ohm" (OGIP usage) is allowed in addition to "Ohm".
- "Byte" (common usage) is allowed in addition to "byte".
Table 6 of WCS Paper I lists eleven units for which metric prefixes are allowed. However, in this implementation only prefixes greater than unity are allowed for "a" (annum), "yr" (year), "pc" (parsec), "bit", and "byte", and only prefixes less than unity are allowed for "mag" (stellar magnitude).

Metric prefix "P" (peta) is specifically forbidden for "a" (annum) to avoid confusion with "Pa" (Pascal, not peta-annum). Note that metric prefixes are specifically disallowed for "h" (hour) and "d" (day) so that "ph" (photons) cannot be interpreted as pico-hours, nor "cd" (candela) as centi-days.
Function types log(), ln() and exp() may only occur at the start of the units specification. The scale and units[] returned for these refers to the string inside the function "argument", e.g. to "MHz" in log(MHz) for which a scale of will be returned.
