@PACKAGE_VERSION@ libext/ast WCS library

The AST library provides a comprehensive range of facilities for attaching world coordinate systems to astronomical data, for retrieving and interpreting that information in a variety of formats, including FITS-WCS, and for generating graphical output based on it.

This library should be of interest to anyone writing astronomical applications which need to manipulate coordinate system data, especially celestial or spectral coordinate systems. AST is portable and environment-independent.
