54  // <synopsis>
55  // DopplerEngine defines Engines (user defined functions) that can be used
56  // in TaQL to convert Measures for dopplers.
57  // In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.
58  //
59  // Doppler conversions require a MeasFrame containing sky direction,
60  // epoch and position on earth.
61  // In TaQL these functions can be called like:
62  // <srcblock>
63  // meas.rv ('TOPO', 1 'm/s', 'LSRK', 'CasA', date(),
64  // [1e6m,1e6m,1e6m], 'WGS84')
65  // </srcblock>
66  // which converts the dopplers from LSRK to TOPO.
67  // <ul>
68  // <li>
69  // <src>toref</src> is a single constant string.
70  // <li>
71  // <src>pos</src> can have various value types. A single numeric array is
72  // a series of RA,DEC in J2000. If given as a set, the last argument of the
73  // set can be the reference types of the values in the set. The values can
74  // be strings (indicating planetary objects) or value pairs giving lon,lat.
75  // The default reference type is J2000.
76  // </ul>
77  // All such functions return data with type double and unit Hz.
78  //
79  // Dopplers can be given like:
80  // [v1,v2,...], fromRef
81  // where fromRef is the reference type.
82  //
83  // A doppler can also be a table column which usually knows its type.
84  // It can also be an expression (e.g. DOPPLER[0,]) which also knows the type.
85  // </synopsis>
86 
87  // <motivation>
88  // It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.
89  // </motivation>
