*class++
*  Name:
*     WcsMap

*  Purpose:
*     Implement a FITS-WCS sky projection.

*  Constructor Function:
c     astWcsMap
f     AST_WCSMAP

*  Description:
*     This class is used to represent sky coordinate projections as
*     described in the FITS world coordinate system (FITS-WCS) paper II
*     "Representations of Celestial Coordinates in FITS" by M. Calabretta
*     and E.W. Griesen. This paper defines a set of functions, or sky
*     projections, which transform longitude-latitude pairs representing
*     spherical celestial coordinates into corresponding pairs of Cartesian
*     coordinates (and vice versa).
*
*     A WcsMap is a specialised form of Mapping which implements these
*     sky projections and applies them to a specified pair of coordinates.
*     All the projections in the FITS-WCS paper are supported, plus the now
*     deprecated "TAN with polynomial correction terms" projection which
*     is refered to here by the code "TPN". Using the FITS-WCS terminology,
*     the transformation is between "native spherical" and "projection
*     plane" coordinates (also called "intermediate world coordinates".
*     These coordinates may, optionally, be embedded in a space with more
*     than two dimensions, the remaining coordinates being copied unchanged.
*     Note, however, that for consistency with other AST facilities, a
*     WcsMap handles coordinates that represent angles in radians (rather
*     than the degrees used by FITS-WCS).
*
*     The type of FITS-WCS projection to be used and the coordinates
*     (axes) to which it applies are specified when a WcsMap is first
*     created. The projection type may subsequently be determined
*     using the WcsType attribute and the coordinates on which it acts
*     may be determined using the WcsAxis(lonlat) attribute.
*
*     Each WcsMap also allows up to 100 "projection parameters" to be
*     associated with each axis. These specify the precise form of the
*     projection, and are accessed using PVi_m attribute, where "i" is
*     the integer axis index (starting at 1), and m is an integer
*     "parameter index" in the range 0 to 99. The number of projection
*     parameters required by each projection, and their meanings, are
*     dependent upon the projection type (most projections either do not
*     use any projection parameters, or use parameters 1 and 2 associated
*     with the latitude axis). Before creating a WcsMap you should consult
*     the FITS-WCS paper for details of which projection parameters are
*     required, and which have defaults. When creating the WcsMap, you must
*     explicitly set values for all those required projection parameters
*     which do not have defaults defined in this paper.

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

*  Attributes:
*     In addition to those attributes common to all Mappings, every
*     WcsMap also has the following attributes:
*
*     - NatLat: Native latitude of the reference point of a FITS-WCS projection
*     - NatLon: Native longitude of the reference point of a FITS-WCS projection
*     - PVi_m: FITS-WCS projection parameters
*     - PVMax: Maximum number of FITS-WCS projection parameters
*     - WcsAxis(lonlat): FITS-WCS projection axes
*     - WcsType: FITS-WCS projection type

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

*  Authors:
*     DSB: D.S. Berry (Starlink)
*     RFWS: R.F. Warren-Smith (Starlink)

*  History:
*     15-FEB-1996 (DSB):
*        Original version.
*     23-MAR-1996 (DSB):
*        Added support for PointSets with more than 2 axes.
*     14-NOV-1996 (DSB):
*        Added I/O facilities, external interface, attributes, etc.
*     16-JAN-1997 (DSB):
*        Allowed WCSBAD as a projection type in astWcsMap.
*     24-APR-1997 (RFWS):
*        Tidied prologues.
*     26-SEP-1997 (DSB):
*        o  Long descriptions of projections changed to include a textual
*        description as well as the three letter acronym.
*        o  Added protected function astPrjDesc.
*        o  String values now used instead of integers to represent
*        "choice" attributes externally (eg WcsType).
*     8-APR-1998 (DSB):
*        Modified MapMerge so that a WcsMap can merge with its own
*        inverse when astSimplify is used.
*     20-APR-1998 (DSB):
*        Modified MapMerge to avoid the possibility of returning an
*        empty mappings list.
*     4-SEP-1998 (DSB):
*        Changed MapMerge to allow WcsMaps to swap with PermMaps in
*        order to bring mergable WcsMaps closer together.
*     5-MAY-1999 (DSB):
*        More corrections to MapMerge: Cleared up errors in the use of the
*        supplied invert flags, and corrected logic for deciding which
*        neighbouring Mapping to swap with.
*     12-JUL-1999 (DSB):
*        -  Report an error if too many or two few projection parameters are
*        supplied in a WcsMap.
*        -  Corrected MapMerge to prevent unset projection parameters
*        being copied to any new WcsMaps.
*        -  Correct handling of invert flags in WcsPerm.
*     16-JUL-1999 (DSB):
*        Fixed memory leak in MapMerge.
*     11-FEB-2000 (DSB):
*        Added PVj_m attributes. Attributes ProjP(0) to ProjP(9) are now
*        aliases for PV(axlat)_0 to PV(axlat)_9. Renamed GLS projection
*        as SFL (GLS retained as alias for SFL).
*     10-AUG-2000 (DSB):
*        MapMerge no longer simplifies a CAR projection. Previously they
*        were replaced by a UnitMap, but this removed the cylic nature of
*        the mapping (i.e. 2.PI == 0 ).
*     6-OCT-2000 (DSB):
*        Ignore leading and trailing spaces in astWCsPrjType (some
*        CTYPE FITS keywords have appeared with trailing white space).
*     26-SEP-2001 (DSB):
*        Changed names of all functions and structure to avoid name clashes
*        with wcslib.
*     10-OCT-2002 (DSB):
*        Added astIsZenithal.
*     22-OCT-2002 (DSB):
*        - GetPV now returns the FITS default value instead of AST__BAD
*        if a defaultable latitude projection parameter has not been set.
*        - A number of changes needed to support WcsLib v2.9.
*        - Added AST__TPN projection.
*     8-JAN-2003 (DSB):
*        Changed private InitVtab method to protected astInitWcsMapVtab
*        method.
*     4-JUN-2003 (DSB):
*        - Added attribute "NatLon".
*        - Changed to allow a user-specified fiducial point to be stored
*        in projection parameter PVi_1 and PVi_2 for the longitude axis.
*        - Changed "PVj_m" to "PVi_m" for consistency with FITS-WCS paper II.
*     18-AUG-2003 (DSB):
*        In function Map, assign zero longitude to output positions which
*        are very close to a pole.
*     23-SEP-2003 (DSB):
*        - Changed so that the NatLat and NatLon attributes refer to the
*        fixed values for the projections defined in FITS-WCS paper II, rather
*        than the user-defined values stored in projection parameter PVi_1 and
*        PVi_2 for the longitude axis.
*     11-FEB-2004 (DSB):
*        Corrected axis numbering when reporting missing keywords in
*        Transform.
*     23-APR-2004 (DSB):
*        Changes to simplification algorithm.
*     1-SEP-2004 (DSB):
*        CopyPV rewritten to avoid assumption that the input and output
*        WcsMaps have the same number of axes and that the lon/lat axes have
*        the same indices.
*     7-DEC-2005 (DSB):
*        Free memory allocated by calls to astReadString.
*     14-FEB-2006 (DSB):
*        Override astGetObjSize.
*     15-FEB-2006 (DSB):
*        Use dynamic rather than static memory for the parameter arrays in
*        the AstPrjPrm structure.Override astGetObjSize. This is to
*        reduce the in-memory size of a WcsMap.
*     10-MAY-2006 (DSB):
*        Override astEqual.
*     10-AUG-2006 (DSB):
*        Correct astLoadWcsMap to take acount of the different number of
*        PVi_m values that can be associated with each axis.
*     4-JAN-2007 (DSB):
*        Correct astLoadWcsMap to load the projection parameter with
*        highest index correctly.
*     23-FEB-2007 (DSB):
*        Added HPX projection.
*     1-MAR-2011 (DSB):
*        In function Map, do not allow valid longitude range to include both
*        the high limit and the low limt (since they are both the same point on
*        the sky).
*     7-MAR-2011 (DSB):
*        In function Map, only do the longitude check if the projection
*        is not cyclic.
*     24-MAY-2011 (DSB):
*        Added protected FITSProj and TPNTan attributes (they should be
*        removed when the PolyMap class has an iterative inverse).
*     6-MAR-2014 (DSB):
*        Revert the change made on 18-AUG-2003 since setting the
*        longitude arbitrarily to zero for points close to the pole
*        causes significant round trip errors when doing pixel->sky->pixel
*        transformation for points very close to the pole, if the pixel
*        size is very small. The longitude at the pole is indeterminate,
*        but whatever random numerical value is returned by atan2 is
*        no less useful (and no more useful) than a fixed value of zero.
*     12-JUN-2014 (DSB):
*        Added XPH projection.

*  Description:
*     This function returns a flag indicating if the pair of supplied

*     of Mappings is considered to be compunded in series. The supplied

*        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.
*     simpler
*        Addresss of a location at which to return a flag indicating if
*        the swapped Mappings would be intrinsically simpler than the
*        original Mappings.

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

*  Notes:
*     -  One of the supplied pair of Mappings must be a WcsMap.
*     -  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.

/*
*  Name:
*     MapMerge

*  Purpose:
*     Simplify a sequence of Mappings containing a WcsMap.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "wcsmap.h"
*     int MapMerge( AstMapping *this, int where, int series, int *nmap,
*                   AstMapping ***map_list, int **invert_list, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     WcsMap 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 WcsMap 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 WcsMap 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 WcsMap which is to be merged with
*        its neighbours. This should be a cloned copy of the WcsMap
*        pointer contained in the array element "(*map_list)[where]"
*        (see below). This pointer will not be annulled, and the
*        WcsMap it identifies will not be modified by this function.
*     where
*        Index in the "*map_list" array (below) at which the pointer
*        to the nominated WcsMap 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.

/*
*  Name:
*     MapSplit

*  Purpose:
*     Create a Mapping representing a subset of the inputs of an existing
*     WcsMap.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "wcsmap.h"
*     int *MapSplit( AstMapping *this, int nin, const int *in, AstMapping **map, int *status )

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

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new Mapping by picking specified inputs from
*     an existing WcsMap. This is only possible if the specified inputs
*     correspond to some subset of the WcsMap outputs. That is, there
*     must exist a subset of the WcsMap outputs for which each output
*     depends only on the selected WcsMap inputs, and not on any of the
*     inputs which have not been selected. If this condition is not met
*     by the supplied WcsMap, then a NULL Mapping is returned.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the WcsMap to be split (the WcsMap is not actually
*        modified by this function).
*     nin
*        The number of inputs to pick from "this".
*     in
*        Pointer to an array of indices (zero based) for the inputs which
*        are to be picked. This array should have "nin" elements. If "Nin"
*        is the number of inputs of the supplied WcsMap, then each element
*        should have a value in the range zero to Nin-1.
*     map
*        Address of a location at which to return a pointer to the new
*        Mapping. This Mapping will have "nin" inputs (the number of
*        outputs may be different to "nin"). A NULL pointer will be
*        returned if the supplied WcsMap has no subset of outputs which
*        depend only on the selected inputs.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to a dynamically allocated array of ints. The number of
*     elements in this array will equal the number of outputs for the
*     returned Mapping. Each element will hold the index of the
*     corresponding output in the supplied WcsMap. The array should be
*     freed using astFree when no longer needed. A NULL pointer will
*     be returned if no output Mapping can be created.

*  Notes:
*     - If this function is invoked with the global error status set,
*     or if it should fail for any reason, then NULL values will be
*     returned as the function value and for the "map" pointer.

*                             int forward, AstPointSet *out, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     WcsMap member function (over-rides the astTransform method inherited
*     from the Mapping class).

*  Description:
*     This function takes a WcsMap and a set of points encapsulated in a
*     PointSet and transforms the points using the requested projection.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the WcsMap.
*     in
*        Pointer to the PointSet holding the input coordinate data.
*     forward
*        A non-zero value indicates that the forward coordinate transformation
*        should be applied, while a zero value requests the inverse
*        transformation.
*     out
*        Pointer to a PointSet which will hold the transformed (output)
*        coordinate values. A NULL value may also be given, in which case a
*        new PointSet will be created by this function.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Pointer to the output (possibly new) PointSet.

*  Notes:
*     -  Assuming the WcsMap has not been inverted, the forward mapping
*     transforms spherical (longitude,latitude) pairs into Cartesian (x,y)
*     pairs. Longitude and latitude values are given and returned in radians,
*     and no restrictions are imposed on their ranges. X and Y values are
*     also given and returned in radians, with no restrictions imposed on
*     their ranges.
*     -  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.
*     -  The number of coordinate values per point in the input PointSet must
*     match the number of coordinates for the WcsMap being applied.
*     -  If an output PointSet is supplied, it must have space for sufficient
*     number of points and coordinate values per point to accommodate the
*     result. Any excess space will be ignored.

/*
*att++
*  Name:
*     PVi_m

*  Purpose:
*     FITS-WCS projection parameters.

*  Type:
*     Public attribute.

*  Synopsis:
*     Floating point.

*  Description:
*     This attribute specifies the projection parameter values to be
*     used by a WcsMap when implementing a FITS-WCS sky projection.
*     Each PV attribute name should include two integers, i and m,
*     separated by an underscore. The axis index is specified
*     by i, and should be in the range 1 to 99. The parameter number
*     is specified by m, and should be in the range 0 to 99. For
*     example, "PV2_1=45.0" would specify a value for projection
*     parameter 1 of axis 2 in a WcsMap.
*
*     These projection parameters correspond exactly to the values
*     stored using the FITS-WCS keywords "PV1_1", "PV1_2", etc. This
*     means that projection parameters which correspond to angles must
*     be given in degrees (despite the fact that the angular
*     coordinates and other attributes used by a WcsMap are in
*     radians).
*
*     The set of projection parameters used by a WcsMap depends on the
*     type of projection, which is determined by its WcsType
*     parameter.  Most projections either do not require projection
*     parameters, or use parameters 1 and 2 associated with the latitude
*     axis. You should consult the FITS-WCS paper for details.
*
*     Some projection parameters have default values (as defined in
*     the FITS-WCS paper) which apply if no explicit value is given.
*     You may omit setting a value for these "optional" parameters and the
*     default will apply. Some projection parameters, however, have no
*     default and a value must be explicitly supplied.  This is most
*     conveniently
c     done using the "options" argument of astWcsMap (q.v.) when a WcsMap
f     done using the OPTIONS argument of AST_WCSMAP (q.v.) when a WcsMap
*     is first created. An error will result when a WcsMap is used to
*     transform coordinates if any of its required projection
*     parameters has not been set and lacks a default value.

*     A "get" operation for a parameter which has not been assigned a value
*     will return the default value defined in the FITS-WCS paper, or
*     AST__BAD if the paper indicates that the parameter has no default.
*     A default value of zero is returned for parameters which are not
*     accessed by the projection.
*
*     Note, the FITS-WCS paper reserves parameters 1 and 2 on the longitude
*     axis to hold the native longitude and latitude of the fiducial
*     point of the projection, in degrees. The default values for these
*     parameters are determined by the projection type. The AST-specific
*     TPN projection does not use this convention - all projection
*     parameters for both axes are used to represent polynomical correction
*     terms, and the native longitude and latitude at the fiducial point may
*     not be changed from the default values of zero and 90 degrees.

*  Applicability:
*     WcsMap
*        All WcsMaps have this attribute.

*  Notes:
*     - The value of this attribute may changed only if the WcsMap
*     has no more than one reference. That is, an error is reported if the

*     such as a CmpMap or FrameSet or by calling the
c     astClone
f     AST_CLONE
*     function.
*     - If the projection parameter values given for a WcsMap do not
*     satisfy all the required constraints (as defined in the FITS-WCS
*     paper), then an error will result when the WcsMap is used to
*     transform coordinates.

*  Description:

*     the value is not fixed, but is specified by parameter one on the
*     latitude axis.
*
*     FITS-WCS paper II introduces the concept of a "fiducial point"
*     which is logical distinct from the projection reference point.
*     It is easy to confuse the use of these two points. The fiducial

*     This function creates a new WcsMap and optionally initialises its
*     attributes.
*
*     A WcsMap is used to represent sky coordinate projections as
*     described in the (draft) FITS world coordinate system (FITS-WCS)
*     paper by E.W. Griesen and M. Calabretta (A & A, in preparation).
*     This paper defines a set of functions, or sky projections, which
*     transform longitude-latitude pairs representing spherical
*     celestial coordinates into corresponding pairs of Cartesian
*     coordinates (and vice versa).
*
*     A WcsMap is a specialised form of Mapping which implements these
*     sky projections and applies them to a specified pair of coordinates.
*     All the projections in the FITS-WCS paper are supported, plus the now
*     deprecated "TAN with polynomial correction terms" projection which
*     is refered to here by the code "TPN". Using the FITS-WCS terminology,
*     the transformation is between "native spherical" and "projection
*     plane" coordinates.  These coordinates may, optionally, be embedded in
*     a space with more than two dimensions, the remaining coordinates being
*     copied unchanged. Note, however, that for consistency with other AST
*     facilities, a WcsMap handles coordinates that represent angles
*     in radians (rather than the degrees used by FITS-WCS).
*
*     The type of FITS-WCS projection to be used and the coordinates
*     (axes) to which it applies are specified when a WcsMap is first
*     created. The projection type may subsequently be determined
*     using the WcsType attribute and the coordinates on which it acts
*     may be determined using the WcsAxis(lonlat) attribute.
*
*     Each WcsMap also allows up to 100 "projection parameters" to be
*     associated with each axis. These specify the precise form of the
*     projection, and are accessed using PVi_m attribute, where "i" is
*     the integer axis index (starting at 1), and m is an integer
*     "parameter index" in the range 0 to 99. The number of projection
*     parameters required by each projection, and their meanings, are
*     dependent upon the projection type (most projections either do not
*     use any projection parameters, or use parameters 1 and 2 associated
*     with the latitude axis). Before creating a WcsMap you should consult
*     the FITS-WCS paper for details of which projection parameters are
*     required, and which have defaults. When creating the WcsMap, you must
*     explicitly set values for all those required projection parameters
*     which do not have defaults defined in this paper.

*  Parameters:
c     ncoord
f     NCOORD = INTEGER (Given)
*        The number of coordinate values for each point to be
*        transformed (i.e. the number of dimensions of the space in
*        which the points will reside). This must be at least 2. The
*        same number is applicable to both input and output points.
c     type
f     TYPE = INTEGER (Given)
*        The type of FITS-WCS projection to apply. This should be
c        given using a macro value such as AST__TAN (for a tangent
f        given as a symbolic value such as AST__TAN (for a tangent
*        plane projection), where the characters following the double
*        underscore give the projection type code (in upper case) as
*        used in the FITS-WCS "CTYPEi" keyword. You should consult the
*        FITS-WCS paper for a list of the available projections. The
*        additional code of AST__TPN can be supplied which represents a
*        TAN projection with polynomial correction terms as defined in an
*        early draft of the FITS-WCS paper.
c     lonax
f     LONAX = INTEGER (Given)
*        The index of the longitude axis. This should lie in the range
c        1 to "ncoord".
f        1 to NCOORD.
c     latax
f     LATAX = INTEGER (Given)
*        The index of the latitude axis. This should lie in the range
c        1 to "ncoord" and be distinct from "lonax".
f        1 to NCOORD and be distinct from LONAX.
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 WcsMap. 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 WcsMap. The syntax used is identical to that for the
f        AST_SET routine.
*
*        If the sky projection to be implemented requires projection
*        parameter values to be set, then this should normally be done
*        here via the PVi_m attribute (see the "Examples"
*        section). Setting values for these parameters is mandatory if
*        they do not have default values (as defined in the FITS-WCS
*        paper).
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     astWcsMap()
f     AST_WCSMAP = INTEGER
*        A pointer to the new WcsMap.

*  Examples:
c     wcsmap = astWcsMap( 2, AST__MER, 1, 2, "" );
f     WCSMAP = AST_WCSMAP( 2, AST__MER, 1, 2, ' ', STATUS )
*        Creates a WcsMap that implements a FITS-WCS Mercator
*        projection on pairs of coordinates, with coordinates 1 and 2
*        representing the longitude and latitude respectively. Note
*        that the FITS-WCS Mercator projection does not require any
*        projection parameters.
c     wcsmap = astWcsMap( 3, AST__COE, 2, 3, "PV3_1=40.0" );
f     WCSMAP = AST_WCSMAP( 3, AST__COE, 2, 3, 'PV3_1=40.0', STATUS )
*        Creates a WcsMap that implements a FITS-WCS conical equal
*        area projection. The WcsMap acts on points in a 3-dimensional
*        space; coordinates 2 and 3 represent longitude and latitude
*        respectively, while the values of coordinate 1 are copied
*        unchanged.  Projection parameter 1 associatyed with the latitude
*        axis (corresponding to FITS keyword "PV3_1") is required and has
*        no default, so is set explicitly to 40.0 degrees. Projection
*        parameter 2 (corresponding to FITS keyword "PV3_2") is required
*        but has a default of zero, so need not be specified.

*  Notes:
*     - The forward transformation of a WcsMap converts between
*     FITS-WCS "native spherical" and "relative physical" coordinates,
*     while the inverse transformation converts in the opposite
*     direction. This arrangement may be reversed, if required, by
c     using astInvert or by setting the Invert attribute to a non-zero
f     using AST_INVERT or by setting the Invert attribute to a non-zero
*     value.
*     - If any set of coordinates cannot be transformed (for example,
*     many projections do not cover the entire celestial sphere), then
*     a WcsMap will yield coordinate values of AST__BAD.
*     - The validity of any projection parameters given via the PVi_m
c     parameter in the "options" string is not checked by this
f     parameter in the OPTIONS string is not checked by this
*     function. However, their validity is checked when the resulting
*     WcsMap is used to transform coordinates, and an error will
*     result if the projection parameters do not satisfy all the
*     required constraints (as defined in the FITS-WCS paper).
*     - A null Object pointer (AST__NULL) will be returned if this
c     function is invoked with the AST error status set, or if it
f     function is invoked with STATUS set to an error value, or if it
*     should fail for any reason.

*  Status Handling:
*     The protected interface to this function includes an extra
*     parameter at the end of the parameter list descirbed above. This
*     parameter is a pointer to the integer inherited status
*     variable: "int *status".

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

*     "vtab" parameter.

*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory in which the WcsMap is to be initialised.
*        This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the WcsMap data
*        (sizeof(WcsMap)) 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 WcsMap (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 WcsMap
*        structure, so a valid value must be supplied even if not required for
*        allocating memory.
*     init
*        A logical flag indicating if the WcsMap'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 WcsMap.
*     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).
*     ncin
*        The number of coordinate values per point.
*     type
*        The type of projection to use, choosen from the list available
*        in the FITS celestial coordinates system. These are specified by
*        symbolic values such as AST__TAN (specifying a tangent plane
*        projection), where the characters following the double underscore
*        gives the FITS projection type (in upper case) as used in the FITS
*        "CTYPEn" keyword.
*     lonax
*        The index of the longitude axis. The first axis has index 0.
*     latax
*        The index of the latitude axis. The first axis has index 0.

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

*  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.

*  Description:
*     This function is provided to load a new WcsMap 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
*     WcsMap structure in this memory, using data read from the input

*
*     If the "init" flag is set, it also initialises the contents of a

*     passed via the "vtab" parameter.


*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory into which the WcsMap is to be
*        loaded.  This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the
*        WcsMap data (sizeof(WcsMap)) plus any data used by derived

*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the WcsMap (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 WcsMap 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(AstWcsMap) is used instead.
*     vtab

*        associated with the new WcsMap. If this is NULL, a pointer
*        to the (static) virtual function table for the WcsMap 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 "WcsMap" is used instead.

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