IRA_IPROJ - Returns a list of supported projection names

Description:
A string is returned containing the list of supported projection names and equivalent names. The names are separated by commas. The currently supported projections are:

GNOMONIC ( or equivalently TANGENT_PLANE )

LAMBERT ( or equivalently CYLINDRICAL )

AITOFF ( or equivalently ALL_SKY )

ORTHOGRAPHIC

See ID/2 appendix "Projection Equations" for more details about the supported projections.


Invocation:
CALL IRA_IPROJ( LIST, STATUS )

Arguments:

LIST = CHARACTER $*$ ( $*$ ) (Returned)
The list of supported projections and equivalent names. The character variable supplied for this argument should have a declared size equal to the value of parameter IRA__SZPLS. If the supplied string is not long enough to hold all the names, a warning message is given, but no error status is returned. Each returned projection name has a maximum length given by symbolic constant IRA__SZPRJ.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.
