+NAME
+ccsetwcs -- create an image wcs from a plate solution
+.ih
+USAGE
+ccsetwcs image database solutions
+.ih
+PARAMETERS
+.ls images
+The input images for which the wcs is to be created.
+.le
+.ls database
+The text database file written by the ccmap task containing the
+plate solutions. If database is undefined ccsetwcs computes
+the image wcs using the xref, yref, xmag, ymag, xrotation, yrotation,
+lngref, latref, lngrefunits, latrefunits, and projection parameters.
+.le
+.ls solutions
+The list of plate solutions. The number of plate solutions must be one
+or equal to the number of input images. Solutions is either a user name
+supplied to the ccmap task, or the
+name of the ccmap task input image for which the plate solution is valid,
+or the name of the coordinate file that the ccmap task used to compute the
+plate solution. The quantities stored in transform always supersede the
+values of the xref, yref, xmag, ymag, xrotation, yrotation, lngref, latref,
+lnrefunits, latrefunits, and projection parameters.
+.le
+.ls xref = INDEF, yref = INDEF
+The x and y pixel coordinates of the sky projection reference point.
+If database is undefined then xref and yref default to the center of the
+image in pixel coordinates, otherwise these parameters are ignored.
+.le
+.ls xmag = INDEF, ymag = INDEF
+The x and y scale factors in arcseconds per pixel. If database is undefined
+xmag and ymag default to 1.0 and 1.0 arcsec / pixel, otherwise these parameters
+are ignored.
+.le
+.ls xrotation = INDEF, yrotation = INDEF
+The x and y rotation angles in degrees measured counter-clockwise with
+respect to the x and y axes. Xrotation and yrotation are interpreted as the
+rotation of the coordinates with respect to the x and y axes and default 0.0
+and 0.0 degrees. For example xrotation and yrotation values of 30.0 and 30.0
+will rotate a point 30 degrees counter-clockwise with respect to the x and y
+axes. To flip the x axis coordinates in this case either set the angles to
+210.0 and 30.0 degrees or leave the angles set to 30.0 and 30.0 and set the
+xmag parameter to a negative value. To set east to the up, down, left, and
+right directions, set xrotation to 90, 270, 180, and 0 respectively. To set
+north to the up, down, left, and right directions, set yrotation to 0, 180,
+90, and 270 degrees respectively. Any global rotation must be added to both the
+xrotation and yrotation values.
+.le
+.ls lngref = INDEF, latref = INDEF
+The celestial coordinates of the sky projection reference point, e.g.
+the ra and dec of the reference point for equatorial systems. If database is
+undefined lngref and latref default to 0.0 and 0.0, otherwise these parameters
+are ignored.
+.le
+.ls lngunits = "", latunits = ""
+The units of the lngref and latref parameters.
+The options are "hours", "degrees", "radians" for the ra / longitude
+coordinates, and "degrees" and "radians" for the dec / latitude coordinates.
+If database is undefined then lngunits and latunits default to the preferred
+units for the celestial coordinate system defined by the \fIcoosystem\fR
+parameter, otherwise these parameters are ignored.
+.le
+.ls transpose = no
+Transpose the newly created image wcs ?
+.le
+.ls projection = "tan"
+The sky projection geometry. The most commonly used projections in
+astronomy are "tan", "arc", "sin", and "lin". Other supported projections
+are "ait", "car", "csc", "gls", "mer", "mol", "par", "pco", "qsc", "stg",
+"tsc", and "zea".
+.le
+.ls coosystem = "j2000"
+The celestial coordinate system. The systems of most interest to users
+are "icrs", "j2000" and "b1950" which stand for the ICRS J2000.0, FK5 J2000.0,
+and FK4 B1950.0 celestial coordinate systems respectively. The full set of
+options are listed below. The celestial coordinate system sets the preferred
+units for the lngref and latref parameters and the correct values of the image
+wcs header keywords CTYPE, RADECSYS, EQUINOX, and MJD-WCS if the image header
+wcs is updated. If database is undefined the coosystem parameter is used,
+otherwise this parameter is ignored.
+

+DESCRIPTION
+
+CCSETWCS creates an image world coordinate system from the plate solution
+computed by the CCMAP task or supplied by the user, and writes it to the
+headers of the input images \fIimages\fR if the \fIupdate\fR parameter is yes.
+
+The plate solution can either be read from record \fIsolutions\fR in the
+database file \fIdatabase\fR written by CCMAP, or specified by the user
+via the \fIxref\fR, \fIyref\fR, \fIxmag\fR, \fIymag\fR, \fIxrotation\fR,
+\fIyrotation\fR, \fIlngref\fR, \fIlatref\fR, \fIlngunits\fR, \fIlatunits\fR,
+\fItranspose\fR, \fIprojection\fR, \fIcoosystem\fR and \fIpixsystem\fR
+parameters.
+
+The plate solution computed by CCMAP has the following form where x and y
+are the image pixel coordinates and xi and eta are the corresponding standard
+coordinates in arcseconds per pixel. The standard coordinates are computed
+by applying the appropriate sky projection to the celestial coordinates.
+
+
+.nf
+ xi = f (x, y)
+ eta = g (x, y)
+.fi
+
+The functions f and g are either power series, Legendre, or Chebyshev
+polynomials whose order and region of validity were set by the user when
+CCMAP was run. The computed plate solution is somewhat arbitrary and does
+not correspond to any physically meaningful model. However the linear
+component of the plate solution can be given the simple geometrical
+interpretation shown below.
+
+.nf
+ xi = a + b * x + c * y
+ eta = d + e * x + f * y
+ b = xmag * cos (xrotation)
+ c = ymag * sin (yrotation)
+ e = -xmag * sin (xrotation)
+ f = ymag * cos (yrotation)
+ a = xi0 - b * xref - c * yref = xshift
+ d = eta0 - e * xref - f * yref = yshift
+ xi0 = 0.0
+ eta0 = 0.0
+.fi
+
+xref, yref, xi0, and eta0 are the origins of the pixel and standard
+coordinate systems respectively. xmag and ymag are the x and y scale factors
+in " / pixel and xrotation and yrotation are the rotation angles measured
+counter-clockwise of the x and y axes.
+
+If the CCMAP database is undefined then CCSETWCS computes a linear plate
+solution using the parameters \fIxref\fR, \fIyref\fR, \fIxmag\fR,
+\fIymag\fR, \fIxrotation\fR, \fIyrotation\fR, \fIlngref\fR, \fIlatref\fR,
+\fIlngunits\fR, \fIlatunits\fR, \fItranspose\fR, and
+\fIprojection\fR as shown below. Note that in this case
+xrotation and yrotation are interpreted as the rotation of the coordinates
+themselves not the coordinate axes.
+
+.nf
+ xi = a + b * x + c * y
+ eta = d + e * x + f * y
+ b = xmag * cos (xrotation)
+ c = -ymag * sin (yrotation)
+ e = xmag * sin (xrotation)
+ f = ymag * cos (yrotation)
+ a = xi0 - b * xref - c * yref = xshift
+ d = eta0 - e * xref - f * yref = yshift
+ xi0 = 0.0
+ eta0 = 0.0
+.fi
+
+The \fItranspose\fR parameter can be used to transpose the newly created
+image wcs.
+
+If the \fIupdate\fR switch is "yes" and an input image is specified,
+a new image wcs is derived from the linear component of the computed plate
+solution and written to the image header. The numerical components of
+the new image wcs are written to the standards FITS keywords, CRPIX, CRVAL,
+and CD, with the actual values depending on the pixel coordinate system
+\fIpixsystem\fR read from the database or set by the user. The FITS keywords
+which define the image celestial coordinate system CTYPE, RADECSYS, EQUINOX,
+and MJD-WCS are set by the \fIcoosystem\fR and \fIprojection\fR parameters.
+
+The first four characters of the values of the ra / longitude and dec / latitude
+axis CTYPE keywords specify the celestial coordinate system. They are set to
+RA-- / DEC- for equatorial coordinate systems, ELON / ELAT for the ecliptic
+coordinate system, GLON / GLAT for the galactic coordinate system, and
+SLON / SLAT for the supergalactic coordinate system.
+
+The second four characters of the values of the ra / longitude and dec /
+latitude axis CTYPE keywords specify the sky projection geometry.
+The second four characters of the values of the ra / longitude and dec /
+latitude axis CTYPE keywords specify the sky projection geometry. IRAF
+currently supports the TAN, SIN, ARC, AIT, CAR, CSC, GLS, MER, MOL, PAR, PCO,
+QSC, STG, TSC, and ZEA standard projections, in which case the second 4
+characters of CTYPE are set to -TAN, -ARC, -SIN, etc.
+
+If the input celestial coordinate system is equatorial, the value of the
+RADECSYS keyword specifies the fundamental equatorial system, EQUINOX
+specifies the epoch of the mean place, and MJD-WCS specifies the epoch
+for which the mean place is correct. The permitted values of
+RADECSYS are FK4, FK4-NO-E, FK5, ICRS, and GAPPT. EQUINOX is entered in years
+and interpreted as a Besselian epoch for the FK4 system, a Julian epoch
+for the FK5 and ICRS system. The epoch of the wcs MJD-WCS is entered as
+a modified Julian date. Only those keywords necessary to defined the
+new wcs are written. Any existing keywords which are not required to
+define the wcs or are redundant are removed, with the exception of
+DATE-OBS and EPOCH, which are left unchanged for obvious (DATE-OBS) and
+historical (use of EPOCH keyword at NOAO) reasons.
+
+If \fIverbose\fR is "yes", various pieces of useful information are
+printed to the terminal as the task proceeds.

+The skyctran task is used to test that the input image wcs is indeed correct.
+Columns 1 and 2 contain the original ra and dec values and columns 3 and 4
+contain the transformed values. The second imheader listing shows what the
+image wcs looks like.

+Note that there are minor differences between the results of examples 1
+and 2 due to precision differences in the input. Note also the difference
+in the way the xrotation and yrotation angles are defined between examples
+1 and 2. In example 2 the rotations are defined as coordinate rotations,
+whereas in example one they are described as axis rotations.
