AST_STCOBSDATALOCATION

Create a StcObsDataLocation

Description:

This function creates a new StcObsDataLocation and optionally initialises its attributes.

The StcObsDataLocation class is a sub-class of Stc used to describe the coverage of the datasets contained in some VO resource.

Invocation

RESULT = AST_STCOBSDATALOCATION( REGION, NCOORDS, COORDS, OPTIONS, STATUS )

Arguments

REGION = INTEGER (Given)
Pointer to the encapsulated Region.
NCOORDS = INTEGER (Given)
The length of the COORDS array. Supply zero if COORDS should be ignored.
COORDS( NCOORDS ) = INTEGER (Given)
An array holding NCOORDS AstKeyMap pointers (if NCOORDS is zero, the supplied value is ignored). Each supplied KeyMap describes the contents of a single STC <AstroCoords > element, and should have elements with keys given by constants AST__STCNAME, AST__STCVALUE, AST__STCERROR, AST__STCRES, AST__STCSIZE, AST__STCPIXSZ. Any of these elements may be omitted, but no other elements should be included. If supplied, the AST__STCNAME element should be a vector of character string pointers holding the " Name" item for each axis in the coordinate system represented by REGION. Any other supplied elements should be scalar elements, each holding a pointer to a Region describing the associated item of ancillary information (error, resolution, size, pixel size or value). These Regions should describe a volume within the coordinate system represented by REGION.
OPTIONS = CHARACTER ∗ ( ∗ ) (Given)
A character string containing an optional comma-separated list of attribute assignments to be used for initialising the new StcObsDataLocation. The syntax used is identical to that for the AST_SET routine.
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status.

Returned Value

AST_STCOBSDATALOCATION = INTEGER
A pointer to the new StcObsDataLocation.
