palDpav

Position angle of one celestial direction with respect to another

Description:

Position angle of one celestial direction with respect to another.

Invocation

pa = palDpav( double v1[3], double v2[3] );

Arguments

v1 = double [3] (Given)
direction cosines of one point.
v2 = double [3] (Given)
direction cosines of the other point.

Returned Value

The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point
V2 with respect to point V1. It is in the range +/- pi. The
sense is such that if V2 is a small distance east of V1, the
bearing is about +pi/2. Zero is returned if the two points
are coincident.
