Set new default Coordinate System

Synopsis
setcoordinates(csys, verbose)

Arguments

csys	in	Default Coordinate System for use in world regions
		Allowed:	Coordinate tool
verbose	in	Issue message each time used
		Allowed:	T or F
		Default:	T

Returns
Bool

Description
This function allows you to (re)set the default Coordinate System used by the functions that make world regions. If you don't specifiy a Coordinate System when you make the world region, the default Coordinate System, if there is one, is used. The Coordinate System is stored in a coordinates tool and is created with the coordsys tool function.

Normally, the world region creating functions like wbox and wpolygon will issue a message each time the private Coordinate System is used. However, if you set verbose=F then this will not occur.

Example

- im := image('quiqui')
- cs := im.coordsys()
- drm.setcoordinates(cs)
- r1 := drm.wbox()
Using private CoordinateSystem from image "quiqui"
