Points lying on the 3D unit sphere (i.e., they only have two degrees of freedom)

Constructor Summary

PointsS2(pts)¶

Constructs a Points object containing points lying on a sphere (i.e., with two degrees of freedom).This object can contain a multitude of points.

Inputs:

pts: A set of points, either as unit vectors or in a set of right ascension/declination pairs. The source of the points is inferred from the dimension of the input points:
- (2xn double): points are RA/Dec pairs (in radians)
- (3xn double): points are unit vectors

Outputs:

obj (sonic.PointsS2): PointsS2 object, a container for a multitude of spherical points.
