Subroutine: IRCO_PRNAME. Purpose: Give full name to plate projection system number. File: irco_project.shl. Author: 85 Jun 24 Albrecht de Jonge. Use: = IRCO_PRNAME ( PRID I integer. ) (function result) a character string giving a proper description of the projection system. Function returns a blank if (PRID < 1) or (PRID > mxprid). PRID a projection system number. Description: Projection methods for the celestial sphere, used in subroutines IRCO_PROJECT, are numbered as follows: 1 'STEREO Stereographic' conformal azimuthal 2 'GNOMON Gnomonic/Tangent plane' 3 'AZEQD Azimuthal equidistant' 4 'AZEQA Azimuthal equal area' 5 'ORTHO Orthographic' sphere seen from infinity 6 'CYLIND Cylindrical eq.area' 7 'MERCAT Mercator' cylindrical conformal 8 'SINUS Sinusoidal eq.area' 9 'AITOFF Hammer-Aitoff eq.area' 10 'CYLEQD cylindrical equidistant' This function IRCO_PRNAME gives both a character form suitable for keywords ( return value (1:6)), and one for documentation of printouts etc (return value (8:)). At most 30 characters in total will be returned to you. References: IRCO_PROJECT.
