SUBROUTINE sla_DCS2C (A, B, V) *+ * - - - - - - * D C S 2 C * - - - - - - * * Spherical coordinates to direction cosines (double precision) * * Given: * A,B d spherical coordinates in radians * (RA,Dec), (long,lat) etc. * * Returned: * V d(3) x,y,z unit vector * * The spherical coordinates are longitude (+ve anticlockwise looking * from the +ve latitude pole) and latitude. The Cartesian coordinates * are right handed, with the x axis at zero longitude and latitude, and * the z axis at the +ve latitude pole. * * Last revision: 26 December 2004 * * Copyright P.T.Wallace.
