<DT>1.
<DD>The projection is called the <I>gnomonic</I> projection;  the
Cartesian coordinates <IMG WIDTH="41" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img85.gif"
 ALT="$[\,\xi,\eta\,]$"> are called 
<I>standard coordinates.</I>  The latter
        are in units of the distance from the tangent plane to the projection
        point, <I>i.e.</I> radians near the origin.
  <DT>2.
<DD>When working in <IMG WIDTH="58" HEIGHT="29" ALIGN="MIDDLE" BORDER="0"
 SRC="img50.gif"
 ALT="$[\,x,y,z\,]$"> rather than spherical coordinates, the
        equivalent Cartesian routine sla_TP2V is available.
