package Astro::Coords::Angle; =head1 NAME Astro::Coords::Angle - Representation of an angle =head1 SYNOPSIS use Astro::Coords::Angle; $ang = new Astro::Coords::Angle( 45.5, units => 'deg' ); $ang = new Astro::Coords::Angle( "45:30:00", units => 'sexagesimal' ); $rad = $ang->radians; $deg = $ang->degrees; $asec = $ang->arcsec; $amin = $ang->arcmin; $string = $ang->string; =head1 DESCRIPTION Helper class for C to represent an angle. Methods are provided for parsing angles in sexagesimal format and for returning angles in any desired format. =cut use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use warnings::register; use Carp; use Scalar::Util qw/ looks_like_number /; use Astro::SLA; # Overloading use overload '""' => "stringify", '0+' => "numify", fallback => 1; # Package Global variables use vars qw/ $VERSION /; $VERSION = '0.01'; =head1 METHODS =head2 Constructor =over 4 =item B Construct a new C object. Must be called with an angle as first argument. Optional hash arguments can be supplied to specify, for example, the units of the supplied angle. $ang = new Astro::Coords::Angle( $angle, units => "degrees" ); Supported options are: units - units of the supplied string or number range - restricted range of the angle Supported units are: sexagesimal - A string of format either dd:mm:ss or "dd mm ss" "dms" separators are also supported. degrees - decimal degrees radians - radians arcsec - arc seconds (abbreviated form is 'as') arcmin - arc minutes (abbreviated form is 'am') The units can be abbreviated to the first 3 characters. If the units are not supplied the default is to assume "sexagesimal" if the supplied string contains spaces or colons or the characters "d", "m" or "s", "degrees" if the supplied number is greater than 2*PI (6.28), and "radians" for all other values. Negative angles are supported. The options for range are documented in the C method. If the angle can not be decoded (if a string), the constructor will fail. =cut sub new { my $proto = shift; my $class = ref($proto) || $proto; croak "Constructor for object of class $class must be called with an argument" unless @_; # first argument is the angle my $input_ang = shift; # optional hash, only read it if we have an even number of # remaining arguments my %args; if (@_) { if (scalar(@_) % 2 == 0) { %args = @_; } else { warnings::warnif("An odd number of Optional arguments were supplied to constructor"); } } # Now need to convert this to radians (the internal representation) # Allow for inheritance my $rad = $class->_cvt_torad($input_ang, $args{units}); croak "Unable to decode supplied angle ('$input_ang')" unless defined $rad; # Create the object my $ang = bless { ANGLE => $rad, RANGE => 'NONE', NDP => undef, # number of decimal places DELIM => undef, # string delimiter }, $class; # If a range was specified, normalise the angle $ang->range( $args{range} ) if exists $args{range}; # And return the object return $ang; } =back =head2 Accessor Methods =over 4 =item B Return the angle in radians. $rad = $ang->radians; =cut sub radians { my $self = shift; return $self->{ANGLE}; } # undocumented since we do not want a public way of changing the # angle sub _setRadians { my $self = shift; my $rad = shift; croak "Angle must be defined" unless defined $rad; $self->{ANGLE} = $rad; } =item B Return the angle in decimal degrees. $deg = $ang->degrees; =cut sub degrees { my $self = shift; my $rad = $self->radians; return $rad * Astro::SLA::DR2D; } =item B Number of decimal places to use when stringifying the object.

The sign will be either a '+' or '-' and is required to distinguish '+0' from '-0'. @comp = $ang->components; The number of decimal places in the seconds will not be constrained by the setting of C, but is constrained by an optional argument: @comp = $ang->components( $ndp ); Default resolution is 5 decimal places.

Allowed values are NONE - no pre-determined range 2PI - 0 to 2*PI radians (0 to 360 degrees) PI - -PI to +PI radians (-180 to 180 degrees) Any other strings will be ignored (and a warning issued if appropriate). When a new value is provided, the angle is normalised to this range. Note that this is not always reversible (especially if reverting to "NONE"). The range can also be specified to the constructor. Default is not to normalize the angle. =cut sub range { my $self = shift; if (@_) { my $rng = shift; if (defined $rng) { # upper case $rng = uc($rng); # get the current value for the angle my $rad = $self->radians; # Now check validity of string and normalise if ($rng eq 'NONE') { # do nothing apart from store it } elsif ($rng eq '2PI') { $self->_setRadians( Astro::SLA::slaDranrm( $rad )); } elsif ($rng eq 'PI') { $self->_setRadians( Astro::SLA::slaDrange( $rad )); } else { warnings::warnif("Supplied range '$rng' not recognized"); return; } # store it $self->{RANGE} = $rng; } else { warnings::warnif("Supplied range was not defined"); } } return $self->{RANGE}; } =item B Simple wrapper method to support the backwards compatibility interface in C when requesting an angle by using a string format rather than an explicit method. $angle = $ang->in_format( 'sexagesimal' ); Supported formats are: radians calls 'radians' method degrees calls 'degrees' method sexagesimal calls 'string' method array calls 'components' method (returns 2 dp resolution) arcsec calls 'arcsec' method arcmin calls 'arcmin' method The format can be abbreviated to the first 3 letters, or 'am' or 'as' for arcmin and arcsec respectively.

Astro::Coords::Angle->NDP( 4 ); Default value is 2. If this is changed then all instances will be affected on stringification unless the C attribute has been set explicitly for an instance. If an undefined argument is supplied, the class will revert to its initial state. Astro::Coords::Angle->NDP( undef ); =cut { my $DEFAULT_NDP = 2; my $NDP = $DEFAULT_NDP; sub NDP { my $class = shift; if (@_) { my $arg = shift; if (defined $arg) { $NDP = $arg; } else { $NDP = $DEFAULT_NDP; } } return $NDP; } } =item B Delimiter to use to separate components of a sexagesimal triplet when the object is stringified. If this is changed then all instances will be affected on stringification unless the C attribute has been set explicitly for an instance. Common values are a colon (12:52:45.4) or a space (12 52 45.4). If more than one character is present in the string, each character will be used in turn as a delimiter in the string until either no more gaps are present (or characters have been exhausted. In the former, if there are more characters than gaps, the first character remaining in the string will be appended, in the latter case, no more characters will be printed. For example, "dms" would result in '12d52m45.4s', whereas 'dm' would result in '12d52m45.4' Astro::Coords::Angle->DELIM( ':' ); Default is ":". An undefined argument will result in the class reverting to the default state. =cut { my $DEFAULT_DELIM = ":"; my $DELIM = $DEFAULT_DELIM; sub DELIM { my $class = shift; if (@_) { my $arg = shift; if (defined $arg) { $DELIM = $arg; } else { $DELIM = $DEFAULT_DELIM; } } return $DELIM; } } =item B Low level utility routine to convert an input value in specified format to radians. This method uses the same code as the object constructor to parse the supplied input argument but does not require the overhead of object construction if the result is only to be used transiently. $rad = Astro::Coords::Angle->to_radians( $string, $format ); See the constructor documentation for the supported format strings. =cut sub to_radians { my $class = shift; # simply delegate to the internal routine.

They are documented for completeness. =over 4 =item B<_cvt_torad> Internal class method to convert an input string to the equivalent value in radians.
