Synopsis
A MVBaseline is a 3-vector of Baselines in a rectangular frame with
internal units of m.
It can be constructed with:
- MVBaseline() creates point at origin (0,0,0)
- MVBaseline(MVBaseline) creates a copy
- MVBaseline(Double, Double, Double) creates (x,y,z) with
specified values (assuming meters)
- MVBaseline(Quantity length,Double, Double) creates a MVBaseline assuming
that the two values are (in radians) angle along 'equator'
and towards 'pole'.
- MVBaseline(Quantity length, Quantity, Quantity) creates a MVBaseline
assuming angles as in previous, or Baselines
- MVBaseline(Quantity, Quantum<Vector<Double> >) creates a
MVBaseline from angle vector, using first two angles, and
assuming second as zero if not present.
- MVBaseline(Quantum<Vector<Double> > creates from
angles or Baselines, depending on the units in the
quantum vector. In the angle case,
the data derived can be scaled with the readjust() function. If
the unit of the quantum vector is length, Baseline is
assumed.
- MVBaseline(Vector<Double> creates from angles (less than
or equal to two elements) or x,y,z (3 elements).
- MVBaseline(Vector<Quantity> creates from length+angles,
angles, or x,y,z, depending on units.
- MVBaseline(MVPosition, MVPosition) creates a baseline
pointing from second to first MVPosition
- MVBaseline(MVPosition) creates a baseline as defined by the
position given (e.g. as derived from an offset MPosition)
A void adjust(Double) function normalises the vector to a length of 1;
a get() returns as a
Double 3-vector the length and angles of the Baseline vector;
a getAngle() returns a Quantum 2-vector, (uInt) returns the indicated
element, and getValue returns the vector.
Baselines can be added and subtracted.
The multiplication of two Baselines produces the in-product.

Member Description
Default constructor generates a (0,0,0) Baseline
Copy constructor
MVBaseline(Double in0, Double in1, Double in2)
Creates a specified vector
Creates a vector with specified length towards pole
MVBaseline(const Quantity &l, Double angle0, Double angle1)
Creates the Baseline from specified (azimuth,elevation) angles and length

Thrown Exceptions
- AipsError if quantities not in angle format
If not enough angles: pole assumed (if none), or elevation =0 (if 1)
MVBaseline(const Quantity &l, const Quantity &angle0, const Quantity &angle1)
MVBaseline(const Quantity &l, const Quantum<Quantum<Double> > &angle)
Creates the Baseline from specified angles and length. or Baselines
Thrown Exceptions
- AipsError if quantities not in angle format
Create from specified length and/or angles and/or Baseline
Baseline as difference between positions (first - second (default(0,0,0))

Get the value in internal units
virtual void putVector(const Vector<Double> &in)
Set the value from internal units (set 0 for empty vector)
Get the internal value as a Vector<Quantity>. Usable in
records. The getXRecordValue() gets additional information for records.
Note that the Vectors could be empty.
Set the internal value if correct values and dimensions
