This attribute is a boolean value which controls how
a
Frame behaves when it is used (by
AST_FINDFRAME) as a template to match another (target)
Frame. It specifies whether the axis order of the target Frame may be permuted in order to obtain a
match.
If the template’ s Permute value is zero, it will match a target only if it can do so without
changing the order of its axes. Otherwise, it will attempt to permute the target’ s axes as
necessary.
The default value is 1, so that axis permutation will be attempted.
Frame
All Frames have this attribute. However, the Frame class effectively ignores this attribute and
behaves as if it has the value 1. This is because the axes of a basic Frame are not distinguishable and
will always match any other Frame whatever their order.
Unlike a basic Frame,
the SkyFrame class makes use of this attribute.
The Permute attribute of a
FrameSet is the same as that of its current Frame (as specified by the
Current attribute).
