+NAME
+wcslab -- overlay a labeled world coordinate grid on an image
+
+.ih
+USAGE
+wcslab image
+
+.ih
+PARAMETERS
+
+.ls image
+The name of the image to be labeled. If image is "", the parameters
+in wcspars will be used to draw a labeled coordinate grid.
+.le
+.ls frame
+The display frame buffer displaying the image to be labeled.
+.le
+.ls usewcs = no
+Use the world coordinate system specified by the parameters in the wcspars
+parameter set in place of the image world coordinate system or if
+image is "" ?
+.le
+.ls wcspars = ""
+The name of the parameter set defining the world coordinate system
+to be used if image is "" or if usewcs = "yes". The wcspars parameters
+are described in more detail below.
+.le
+.ls wlpars = ""
+The name of the parameter set which controls the
+detailed appearance of the plot. The wlpars parameters are described
+in more detail below.
+.le
+.ls fill = yes
+If fill is no, wcslab tries to
+create a square viewport with a maximum size dictated by the viewport
+parameters. If fill is yes, then wcslab
+uses the viewport exactly as specified.
+.le
+.ls vl = INDEF, vr = INDEF, vb = INDEF, vt = INDEF
+The left, right, bottom, and top edges of the viewport in NDC (0-1)
+coordinates. If any of vl, vr, vb, or vt are INDEF,
+wcslab computes a default value. To overlay the plot
+with a displayed image, vl, vr, vb, and vt must use the same viewport used
+by the display task to load the image into the frame buffer.
+.le
+.ls overplot = no
+Overplot to an existing plot? If yes, wcslab will not erase the
+current plot. This differs from append in that a new viewport
+may be defined. Append has priority if both
+append and overwrite are yes.
+.le
+.ls append = no
+Append to an existing plot? If no, wcslab resets the
+graphics to a new viewport/wcs for each new plot. Otherwise, it uses
+the scaling from a previous plot. If append=yes but no plot was drawn, it
+will behave as if append=no. This differs from overplot in that
+the same viewport is used. Append has priority if both
+append and overwrite are yes.
+.le
+.ls device = "imd"
+The graphics device. To create an overlay plot, device must be set
+to one of the imdkern devices listed in dev$graphcap. To create a
+plot of the coordinate grid in the
+graphics window, device should be set to "stdgraph".
+.le
+

+.le
+.ls cd2_1 = 0.0, cd2_2 = 1.0
+The FITS CD matrix elements [2,1] and [2,2] which describe the y-axis

+DESCRIPTION
+
+WCSLAB draws a labeled world coordinate grid on the graphics device
+\fIdevice\fR using world coordinate system (WCS)
+information stored in the header of the IRAF image \fIimage\fR if
+\fIusewcs\fR is "no", or
+in \fIwcspars\fR if \fIusewcs\fR is "yes" or \fIimage\fR is "".
+WCSLAB currently supports the following coordinate system types 1)
+the tangent plane, sin, and arc sky projections in right ascension
+and declination and 2) any linear coordinate system.
+
+By default WCSLAB draws on the image display device, displacing
+the currently loaded image pixels with graphics pixels. Therefore in order
+to register the coordinate grid plot with the image, the image must
+loaded into the image display with the DISPLAY task, prior to
+running WCSLAB.
+
+If the viewport parameters \fIvl\fR, \fIvr\fR, \fIvb\fR, and
+\fIvt\fR are left undefined, WCSLAB will try to match the viewport
+of the coordinate grid plot with the viewport of the currently
+displayed image in the selected frame \fIframe\fR.
+This scheme works well in the case where \fIimage\fR is smaller
+than the display frame buffer, and in the case where \fIimage\fR is
+actually a subsection of the image currently loaded into the display frame
+buffer. In the case where \fIimage\fR
+fills or overflows the image display frame buffer, WCSLAB
+draws the appropriate coordinate grid but is not able to draw the
+titles and labels which would normally appear outside the plot.
+In this case the user must, either adjust the DISPLAY parameters
+\fIxmag\fR, and \fIymag\fR so that the image will fit in the frame
+buffer, or change the DISPLAY viewport parameters \fIxsize\fR and
+\fIysize\fR so as to display only a fraction of the image.
+
+WCSLAB can create a new plot each time it is run, \fIappend\fR = no
+and \fIoverplot\fR = no, add a new graph to an existing plot
+if \fIoverplot\fR = yes and \fIappend\fR=no,
+or append to an existing plot if \fIappend\fR = yes.
+For new or overplots WCSLAB computes the viewport and window, otherwise it
+uses the viewport and window of a previously existing plot. If \fIdevice\fR
+is "stdgraph", then WCSLAB will clear the screen between each new plot.
+This is not possible if \fIdevice\fR is one of the "imd" devices
+since the image display graphics kernel writes directly into the display
+frame buffer. In this case the user must redisplay the image and rerun
+WCSLAB for each new plot.
+
+The parameters controlling the detailed appearance of the plot
+are contained in the parameter set specified by \fIwlpars\fR.
+
+.ih
+THE USER-DEFINED WCS
+
+The parameters in WCSPARS are used to define the world
+coordinate system only if, 1) the parameter \fIusewcs\fR is "yes"
+or, 2) the input image is undefined.
+This user-defined WCS specifies the transformation from the logical coordinate
+system, e.g. pixel units, to a world system, e.g. ra and dec.
+
+Currently IRAF supports two types of world coordinate systems:
+1) linear, which provides a linear mapping from pixel units to
+the world coordinate system 2) and the sky projections which provide
+a mapping from pixel units to ra and dec. The parameters
+\fIctype1\fR and \fIctype2\fR define which coordinate system will be in
+effect. If a linear system is
+desired, both \fIctype1\fR and \fIctype2\fR must be "linear".
+If the tangent plane sky projection is desired,
+and the first axis is ra and the
+second axis is dec, then \fIcypte1\fR and \fIctype2\fR
+must be "ra---tan" and "dec--tan" respectively.
+To obtain the sin or arc projections "tan" is replaced with "sin" or
+"arc" respectively.
+
+The scale factor and rotation between the logical and world coordinate
+system is described by the CD matrix. Using matrix
+multiplication, the logical coordinates are multiplied by the CD
+matrix to produce the world coordinates. The CD matrix is represented in
+the parameters as follows:
+
+.nf
+
+ |---------------|
+ | cd1_1 cd1_2 |
+ | |
+ | cd2_1 cd2_2 |
+ |---------------|
+
+.fi
+
+To construct a typical CD matrix, the following definitions of the
+individual matrix elements may be used:
+
+.nf
+
+ cd1_1 = xscale * cos (ROT)
+ cd1_2 = -yscale * sin (ROT)
+ cd2_1 = xscale * sin (ROT)
+ cd2_2 = yscale * cos (ROT)
+
+.fi
+
+where xscale and yscale are the scale factors from the logical to world
+systems, e.g. degrees per pixel, and ROT is the angle of rotation between
+the two systems, where positive rotations are counter-clockwise.
+
+The ra/dec transformation is a special case. Since by convention ra
+increases "to the left", opposite of standard convention, the first axis
+transformation needs to be multiplied by -1. This results in the
+following formulas:
+
+.nf
+
+ cd1_1 = -xscale * cos (ROT)
+ cd1_2 = yscale * sin (ROT)
+ cd2_1 = xscale * sin (ROT)
+ cd2_2 = yscale * cos (ROT)
+
+.fi
+
+Finally, the origins of the logical and world systems must be defined.
+The parameters \fIcrpix1\fR and \fIcrpix2\fR define the coordinate in
+the logical space that corresponds to the coordinate in world space
+defined by the parameters \fIcrval1\fR and \fIcrval2\fR. The coordinates
+(crpix1, crpix2) in logical space, when transformed to world space,
+become (crval1, crval2).
+
+The last set of parameters, log_x1, log_x2, log_y1, log_y2, define the
+region in the logical space, e.g. in pixels, over which the transformation
+is valid.
+
+.ih
+AXIS SPECIFICATION
+
+For all \fIlinear\fR transformations axis 1 and axis 2 specify which axis in
+the image is being referred to.
+For example in a 2-dimensional image, the FITS image header keywords
+CTYPE1, CRPIX1, CRVAL1, CDELT1,
+CD1_1, and CD1_2 define the world coordinate transformation for axis 1.
+Similarly the FITS image header keywords
+CTYPE2, CRPIX2, CRVAL2, CDELT2,
+CD2_1, CD2_2, define the world coordinate transformation for axis 2.
+
+THIS RULE DOES NOT APPLY TO THE TANGENT PLANE, SIN, and ARC SKY
+PROJECTION WCS'S.
+For this type of WCS axis 1 and axis 2
+always refer to right ascension and declination respectively,
+and WCSLAB assumes that all axis 1 parameters refer to right
+ascension and all axis 2 parameters refer to declination, regardless of
+which axis in the image WCS actually specifies right ascension and declination.
+
+.ih
+GRID DRAWING
+
+There are two types of grid lines / tick marks, "major" and
+"minor". The major grid lines / tick marks are the lines / ticks
+that will be labeled. The minor grid lines / tick marks are plotted
+between the major marks. Whether lines or tick marks are drawn is
+determined by the boolean parameters \fImajor_grid\fR and \fIminor_grid\fR.
+If yes, lines are drawn; if no, tick marks are drawn. How the lines
+appear is controlled by the parameters \fImajor_line\fR and \fIminor_line\fR.
+
+The spacing of minor marks is controlled by the parameters \fIaxis1_minor\fR
+and \fIaxis2_minor\fR. These parameters specify the number of minor marks
+that will appear between the major marks along the axis 1
+and axis 2 axes.
+
+Spacing of major marks is more complicated. WCSLAB tries to
+present major marks only along "significant values" in the
+coordinate system. For example, if the graph spans several hours of
+right ascension, the interval between major marks will in general be an
+hour and the major marks will appear at whole hours within the graph.
+If what WCSLAB chooses is unacceptable, the interval and range can
+be modified by the parameters \fIaxis1_int\fR, \fIaxis1_beg\fR,
+\fIaxis1_end\fR for the axis 1, and \fIaxis2_int\fR, \fIaxis2_beg\fR,
+and \fIaxis2_end\fR for axis 2. All three parameters must be specified for
+each axis in order for the new values to take affect
+
+.ih
+GRAPH APPEARANCE
+
+WCSLAB supports three types of graph: normal, polar, and near_polar.
+
+A normal graph is the usual Cartesian graph where lines of constant
+axis 1 or 2 values cross at least two different sides of the graph.
+WCSLAB will by default plot a normal type graph for any image 1)
+which has no defined WCS 2) which has a linear WCS 3) where the sky
+projection WCS approximates a Cartesian system.
+
+A polar graph is one in which the north or south pole of the
+coordinate system actually appears on the graph.
+Lines of constant declination are no longer approximately
+straight lines, but are circles which may not intersect any
+of the edges of the graph. In this type of graph, axis 1 values
+are labeled all the way around the graph.
+Axis 2 values are labeled within the graph
+next to each circle. An attempt is made to label as many circles as
+possible. However, if the WCSLAB's defaults are not agreeable,
+the parameters, \fIaxis2_dir\fR and \fIjustify\fR, can be modified
+to control how this labeling is done.
+\fIAxis2_dir\fR specifies along which axis 1 value the
+axis 2 labels should be written. \fIJustify\fR specifies on which side of
+this value the label should appear.
+
+The near_polar graph is a cross between the normal graph and the polar
+graph. In this case the pole is not on the graph, but is close enough
+to significantly affect the appearance of the plot. The near_polar graph
+is handled like a polar graph.
+
+The parameter \fIgraph_type\fR can be used to force WCSLAB
+to plot a graph of the type specified, although in this case it
+may be necessary to modify the values of other WLPARS parameters to
+obtain pleasing results. For example trying to plot a polar graph as
+Cartesian may producing a strange appearing graph.
+
+.ih
+GRAPH LABELING
+
+Due to the variety of graph types that can be plotted (see above), and
+the arbitrary rotation that any WCS can have, the task of labeling
+the major grid lines in a coherent and pleasing manner is not trivial.
+
+The basic model used is the Cartesian or normal graph. Labels
+normally appear on the left and bottom edges of the graph with a side
+devoted solely to one of the WCS coordinate axis. For example, right
+ascension might be labeled only along the bottom edge of the graph
+and declination only along the left edge, or vice versa.
+
+If the defaults chosen by WCSLAB are unacceptable, the
+parameters \fIaxis1_side\fR and \fIaxis2_side\fR, can be used to specify which
+side (or sides) the labels for axis 1 and axis 2 will appear.
+Either a single side or a list of sides can be specified for either
+axis. If a list is specified, labels will appear on each side listed,
+even if the same side appears in both of the parameters. In this way,
+labels can be made to appear on the same side of the graph.
+
+.ih
+LABEL APPEARANCE
+
+Due to coordinate rotations, lines of constant axis 1 or axis 2 value
+may not intersect the edges
+of the graph perpendicularly. To help clarify which line belongs to
+which label, the labels will be drawn at an angle equal to that of the
+line which is being labeled. If this is not desired,
+the parameter \fIrotate\fR may be set to no, and labels will always appear
+"normal", i.e. the text will not be rotated in any way.
+
+By default, all labels will be shortened to the smallest unit
+needed to indicate the value of the labeled line. For example, if the
+graph spans about 30 seconds of declination, the interval between the
+labels will be approximately 5 or 10 seconds. The first label will contain the
+full specification, i.e. -22:32:20. But the rest of the labels will
+only be the seconds, i.e. 30, 40, 50. However, at the change in
+minutes, the full format would be used again, -22:33:00, but then
+again afterwards only seconds will be displayed, i.e. 10, 20, etc.
+If this shortening of labels is undesirable, it
+can be turned off by setting the parameter \fIfull_label\fR to yes. This
+forces every label to use the full specification.
+
+Finally, the parameter \fIlabel_size\fR can be used to adjust the size of the
+characters used in the axis labels.
+
+.ih
+TITLES
+
+A graph title may specified using the parameter \fItitle\fR. If \fItitle\fR
+= "imtitle" a default title constructed from the image name and title
+is used. The location and size of the graph title are controlled by
+the parameters \fItitle_side\fR and \fItitle_size\fR.
+Similarly the content, placement and size of the axis titles are
+controlled by the parameters \fIaxis1_title\fR, \fIaxis2_title\fR,
+\fIaxis1_title_side\fR, \fIaxis2_title_side\fR, and
+\fIaxis_title_size\fR.
+
+.ih
+OUTPUT FORMATS
+
+If \fIremember\fR = yes, the coordinates are output to the parameter set
+WLPARS in a form suitable for the type of system the coordinates
+represent. For example right
+ascensions are output in HH:MM:SS (hours:minutes:seconds) and
+declinations are output in DD:MM:SS (degrees:minutes:seconds).
+If the input parameters are changed, for example axis1_int, their values
+must be input in the same format.
+If the WCS is linear, then the parameters will not be formatted in any special
+way; i.e. no assumptions are made about units, etc.
+

+EXAMPLES
+
+1. Display the 512 pixel square IRAF test image dev$pix in an 800 square
+display window and overlay it with a labeled coordinate grid. Since
+dev$pix does not have a defined WCS a pixel coordinate grid will appear.
+
+.nf
+ cl> display dev$pix 1
+
+ ... display the image in frame 1
+
+ cl> wcslab dev$pix 1
+
+ ... the coordinate grid in green will be plotted on the display
+.fi
+
+2. Redisplay the previous image and by overlay the labeled
+coordinate grid on the inner 100 by 400 pixels in x and y.
+
+.nf
+ cl> display dev$pix 1
+
+ ... erase the graphics by redisplaying the image
+
+ cl> wcslab dev$pix[100:400,100:400] 1
+.fi
+
+3. Display an 800 square image which has a defined linear WCS in an 800 square
+display window and overlay it with the coordinate grid. Reduce
+the display viewport in order to leave space around the edge of the
+displayed image for the labels and titles.
+
