Convert an angle in radians to degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds,
fraction (double precision).
CALL:
CALL sla_DR2AF (NDP, ANGLE, SIGN, IDMSF)
GIVEN:
NDP
I
number of decimal places of arcseconds
ANGLE
D
angle in radians
RETURNED:
SIGN
C
`+' or `'
IDMSF
I(4)
degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds, fraction
NOTES:
NDP less than zero is interpreted as zero.
The largest useful value for NDP is determined by the size
of ANGLE, the format of DOUBLE PRECISION floating-point
numbers on the target machine, and the risk of overflowing
IDMSF(4). On some architectures, for ANGLE up to 2pi, the
available floating-point precision corresponds roughly to
NDP=12. However, the practical limit is NDP=9, set by the
capacity of a typical 32-bit IDMSF(4).
The absolute value of ANGLE may exceed . In cases where it
does not, it is up to the caller to test for and handle the
case where ANGLE is very nearly and rounds up to ,
by testing for IDMSF(1)=360 and setting IDMSF(1-4) to zero.
