*class++
*  Name:
*     PcdMap

*  Purpose:
*     Apply 2-dimensional pincushion/barrel distortion.

*  Constructor Function:
c     astPcdMap
f     AST_PCDMAP

*  Description:
*     A PcdMap is a non-linear Mapping which transforms 2-dimensional
*     positions to correct for the radial distortion introduced by some
*     cameras and telescopes. This can take the form either of pincushion
*     or barrel distortion, and is characterized by a single distortion
*     coefficient.
*
*     A PcdMap is specified by giving this distortion coefficient and the
*     coordinates of the centre of the radial distortion. The forward
*     transformation of a PcdMap applies the distortion:
*
*        RD = R * ( 1 + C * R * R )
*
*     where R is the undistorted radial distance from the distortion
*     centre (specified by attribute PcdCen), RD is the radial distance
*     from the same centre in the presence of distortion, and C is the
*     distortion coefficient (given by attribute Disco).
*
*     The inverse transformation of a PcdMap removes the distortion
*     produced by the forward transformation. The expression used to derive
*     R from RD is an approximate inverse of the expression above.

*  Inheritance:
*     The PcdMap class inherits from the Mapping class.

*  Attributes:
*     In addition to those attributes common to all Mappings, every
*     PcdMap also has the following attributes:
*
*     - Disco: PcdMap pincushion/barrel distortion coefficient
*     - PcdCen(axis): Centre coordinates of pincushion/barrel distortion

*  Functions:
c     The PcdMap class does not define any new functions beyond those
f     The PcdMap class does not define any new routines beyond those
*     which are applicable to all Mappings.

*  History:
*     18-MAY-1999 (DSB):
*        Original version.
*     25-OCT-1999 (DSB):
*        Fixed memory leak in MapMerge.
*     8-JAN-2003 (DSB):
*        Changed private InitVtab method to protected astInitPcdMapVtab
*        method.
*     23-AUG-2006 (DSB):
*        Override astEqual.
*     23-APR-2015 (DSB):
*        Improve MapMerge. If a PcdMap can merge with its next-but-one
*        neighbour, then swap the PcdMap with its neighbour, so that
*        it is then next its next-but-one neighbour, and then merge the
*        two Mappings into a single Mapping. Previously, only the swap
*        was performed - not the merger. And the swap was only performed
*        if the intervening neighbour could not itself merge. This could
*        result in an infinite simplification loop, which was detected by
*        CmpMap and and aborted, resulting in no useful simplification.

*  Description:
*     This function returns a flag indicating if the pair of supplied
*     Mappings could be replaced by an equivalent pair of Mappings from the
*     same classes as the supplied pair, but in reversed order. Each pair
*     of Mappings is considered to be compounded in series. The supplied
*     Mappings are not changed in any way.

*  Parameters:
*     map1
*        The Mapping to be applied first.
*     map2
*        The Mapping to be applied second.
*     inv1
*        The invert flag to use with map1. A value of zero causes the forward
*        mapping to be used, and a non-zero value causes the inverse
*        mapping to be used.
*     inv2
*        The invert flag to use with map2.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     1 if the Mappings could be swapped, 0 otherwise.

*  Notes:
*     -  One of the supplied pair of Mappings must be a PcdMap.
*     -  A value of 0 is returned if the two Mappings could be merged into
*     a single Mapping.
*     -  A value of 0 is returned if an error has already occurred, or if
*     this function should fail for any reason.

*  Class Membership:
*     PcdMap method (over-rides the protected astMapMerge method
*     inherited from the Mapping class).

*  Description:
*     This function attempts to simplify a sequence of Mappings by
*     merging a nominated PcdMap in the sequence with its neighbours,
*     so as to shorten the sequence if possible.
*
*     In many cases, simplification will not be possible and the
*     function will return -1 to indicate this, without further
*     action.
*
*     In most cases of interest, however, this function will either
*     attempt to replace the nominated PcdMap with a Mapping which it
*     considers simpler, or to merge it with the Mappings which
*     immediately precede it or follow it in the sequence (both will
*     normally be considered). This is sufficient to ensure the
*     eventual simplification of most Mapping sequences by repeated
*     application of this function.
*
*     In some cases, the function may attempt more elaborate
*     simplification, involving any number of other Mappings in the
*     sequence. It is not restricted in the type or scope of
*     simplification it may perform, but will normally only attempt
*     elaborate simplification in cases where a more straightforward
*     approach is not adequate.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the nominated PcdMap which is to be merged with
*        its neighbours. This should be a cloned copy of the PcdMap
*        pointer contained in the array element "(*map_list)[where]"
*        (see below). This pointer will not be annulled, and the
*        PcdMap it identifies will not be modified by this function.
*     where
*        Index in the "*map_list" array (below) at which the pointer
*        to the nominated PcdMap resides.
*     series
*        A non-zero value indicates that the sequence of Mappings to
*        be simplified will be applied in series (i.e. one after the
*        other), whereas a zero value indicates that they will be
*        applied in parallel (i.e. on successive sub-sets of the
*        input/output coordinates).
*     nmap
*        Address of an int which counts the number of Mappings in the
*        sequence. On entry this should be set to the initial number
*        of Mappings. On exit it will be updated to record the number
*        of Mappings remaining after simplification.
*     map_list
*        Address of a pointer to a dynamically allocated array of
*        Mapping pointers (produced, for example, by the astMapList
*        method) which identifies the sequence of Mappings. On entry,
*        the initial sequence of Mappings to be simplified should be
*        supplied.
*
*        On exit, the contents of this array will be modified to
*        reflect any simplification carried out. Any form of
*        simplification may be performed. This may involve any of: (a)
*        removing Mappings by annulling any of the pointers supplied,
*        (b) replacing them with pointers to new Mappings, (c)
*        inserting additional Mappings and (d) changing their order.
*
*        The intention is to reduce the number of Mappings in the
*        sequence, if possible, and any reduction will be reflected in
*        the value of "*nmap" returned. However, simplifications which
*        do not reduce the length of the sequence (but improve its
*        execution time, for example) may also be performed, and the
*        sequence might conceivably increase in length (but normally
*        only in order to split up a Mapping into pieces that can be
*        more easily merged with their neighbours on subsequent
*        invocations of this function).
*
*        If Mappings are removed from the sequence, any gaps that
*        remain will be closed up, by moving subsequent Mapping
*        pointers along in the array, so that vacated elements occur
*        at the end. If the sequence increases in length, the array
*        will be extended (and its pointer updated) if necessary to
*        accommodate any new elements.
*
*        Note that any (or all) of the Mapping pointers supplied in
*        this array may be annulled by this function, but the Mappings
*        to which they refer are not modified in any way (although
*        they may, of course, be deleted if the annulled pointer is
*        the final one).
*     invert_list
*        Address of a pointer to a dynamically allocated array which,
*        on entry, should contain values to be assigned to the Invert
*        attributes of the Mappings identified in the "*map_list"
*        array before they are applied (this array might have been
*        produced, for example, by the astMapList method). These
*        values will be used by this function instead of the actual
*        Invert attributes of the Mappings supplied, which are
*        ignored.
*
*        On exit, the contents of this array will be updated to
*        correspond with the possibly modified contents of the
*        "*map_list" array.  If the Mapping sequence increases in
*        length, the "*invert_list" array will be extended (and its
*        pointer updated) if necessary to accommodate any new
*        elements.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     If simplification was possible, the function returns the index
*     in the "map_list" array of the first element which was
*     modified. Otherwise, it returns -1 (and makes no changes to the
*     arrays supplied).

*  Notes:
*     - A value of -1 will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Description:
*     This function returns axis permutation and constants arrays which can
*     be used to create a PermMap which is equivalent to the supplied PermMap.

*  Parameters:
*     map
*        The PermMap.
*     outperm
*        An address at which to return a popinter to an array of ints
*        holding the output axis permutation array. The array should be
*        released using astFree when no longer needed.
*     inperm
*        An address at which to return a popinter to an array of ints
*        holding the input axis permutation array. The array should be
*        released using astFree when no longer needed.
*     consts
*        An address at which to return a popinter to an array of doubles
*        holding the constants array. The array should be released using
*        astFree when no longer needed.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Notes:
*     -  NULL pointers are returned if an error has already occurred, or if
*     this function should fail for any reason.

*     negative.
*
*     Note that the forward transformation of a PcdMap applies the

*     transformation removes this distortion. If the PcdMap is inverted

f     RESULT = AST_PCDMAP( DISCO, PCDCEN, OPTIONS, STATUS )

*  Class Membership:
*     PcdMap constructor.

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new PcdMap and optionally initialises its
*     attributes.
*
*     A PcdMap is a non-linear Mapping which transforms 2-dimensional
*     positions to correct for the radial distortion introduced by some
*     cameras and telescopes. This can take the form either of pincushion
*     or barrel distortion, and is characterized by a single distortion
*     coefficient.
*
*     A PcdMap is specified by giving this distortion coefficient and the
*     coordinates of the centre of the radial distortion. The forward
*     transformation of a PcdMap applies the distortion:
*
*        RD = R * ( 1 + C * R * R )
*
*     where R is the undistorted radial distance from the distortion
*     centre (specified by attribute PcdCen), RD is the radial distance
*     from the same centre in the presence of distortion, and C is the
*     distortion coefficient (given by attribute Disco).
*
*     The inverse transformation of a PcdMap removes the distortion
*     produced by the forward transformation. The expression used to derive
*     R from RD is an approximate inverse of the expression above, obtained
*     from two iterations of the Newton-Raphson method. The mismatch between
*     the forward and inverse expressions is negligible for astrometric
*     applications (to reach 1 milliarcsec at the edge of the Anglo-Australian
*     Telescope triplet or a Schmidt field would require field diameters of
*     2.4 and 42 degrees respectively).
*
c     If a PcdMap is inverted (e.g. using astInvert) then the roles of the
f     If a PcdMap is inverted (e.g. using AST_INVERT) then the roles of the
*     forward and inverse transformations are reversed; the forward
*     transformation will remove the distortion, and the inverse
*     transformation will apply it.

*  Parameters:
c     disco
f     DISCO = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
*        The distortion coefficient. Negative values give barrel
*        distortion, positive values give pincushion distortion, and
*        zero gives no distortion.

f     PCDCEN( 2 ) = DOUBLE PRECISION (Given)
c        A 2-element array containing the coordinates of the centre of the
f        An array containing the coordinates of the centre of the
*        distortion.
c     options
f     OPTIONS = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
c        Pointer to a null-terminated string containing an optional
c        comma-separated list of attribute assignments to be used for
c        initialising the new PcdMap. The syntax used is identical to
c        that for the astSet function and may include "printf" format
c        specifiers identified by "%" symbols in the normal way.
f        A character string containing an optional comma-separated
f        list of attribute assignments to be used for initialising the
f        new PcdMap. The syntax used is identical to that for the
f        AST_SET routine.
c     ...
c        If the "options" string contains "%" format specifiers, then
c        an optional list of additional arguments may follow it in
c        order to supply values to be substituted for these
c        specifiers. The rules for supplying these are identical to
c        those for the astSet function (and for the C "printf"
c        function).
f     STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
f        The global status.

*  Returned Value:
c     astPcdMap()
f     AST_PCDMAP = INTEGER
*        A pointer to the new PcdMap.

f     function is invoked with STATUS set to an error value, or if it

*                               double disco, const double pcdcen[2] )

*  Class Membership:
*     PcdMap initialiser.

*  Description:
*     This function is provided for use by class implementations to initialise
*     a new PcdMap object. It allocates memory (if necessary) to accommodate
*     the PcdMap plus any additional data associated with the derived class.
*     It then initialises a PcdMap structure at the start of this memory. If
*     the "init" flag is set, it also initialises the contents of a virtual
*     function table for a PcdMap at the start of the memory passed via the
*     "vtab" parameter.

*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory in which the PcdMap is to be initialised.
*        This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the PcdMap data
*        (sizeof(PcdMap)) plus any data used by the derived class. If a value
*        of NULL is given, this function will allocate the memory itself using
*        the "size" parameter to determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the PcdMap (plus derived class data).
*        This will be used to allocate memory if a value of NULL is given for
*        the "mem" parameter. This value is also stored in the PcdMap
*        structure, so a valid value must be supplied even if not required for
*        allocating memory.
*     init
*        A logical flag indicating if the PcdMap's virtual function table is
*        to be initialised. If this value is non-zero, the virtual function
*        table will be initialised by this function.
*     vtab
*        Pointer to the start of the virtual function table to be associated
*        with the new PcdMap.
*     name
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which contains
*        the name of the class to which the new object belongs (it is this
*        pointer value that will subsequently be returned by the astGetClass
*        method).
*     disco
*        Distortion coefficient.
*     pcdcen
*        Distortion centre.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new PcdMap.

*  Notes:
*     -  A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked with the
*     global error status set, or if it should fail for any reason.

*  Purpose:
*     Load a PcdMap.

*  Type:

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "pcdmap.h"
*     AstPcdMap *astLoadPcdMap( void *mem, size_t size,
*                               AstPcdMapVtab *vtab, const char *name,
*                               AstChannel *channel )

*  Class Membership:
*     PcdMap loader.

*  Description:
*     This function is provided to load a new PcdMap using data read
*     from a Channel. It first loads the data used by the parent class
*     (which allocates memory if necessary) and then initialises a
*     PcdMap structure in this memory, using data read from the input
*     Channel.
*
*     If the "init" flag is set, it also initialises the contents of a
*     virtual function table for a PcdMap at the start of the memory
*     passed via the "vtab" parameter.


*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory into which the PcdMap is to be
*        loaded.  This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the
*        PcdMap data (sizeof(PcdMap)) plus any data used by derived
*        classes. If a value of NULL is given, this function will
*        allocate the memory itself using the "size" parameter to
*        determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the PcdMap (plus derived class
*        data).  This will be used to allocate memory if a value of
*        NULL is given for the "mem" parameter. This value is also
*        stored in the PcdMap structure, so a valid value must be
*        supplied even if not required for allocating memory.
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "size" value is ignored
*        and sizeof(AstPcdMap) is used instead.
*     vtab
*        Pointer to the start of the virtual function table to be
*        associated with the new PcdMap. If this is NULL, a pointer
*        to the (static) virtual function table for the PcdMap class
*        is used instead.
*     name
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which
*        contains the name of the class to which the new object
*        belongs (it is this pointer value that will subsequently be
*        returned by the astGetClass method).
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "name" value is ignored
*        and a pointer to the string "PcdMap" is used instead.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new PcdMap.

*  Notes:
*     - A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

   same interface. */
