Etymology

MeasData from Measure and Data

Synopsis

MeasData contains the constant data necessary for precession, nutation and other Measure related calculations.
Database (Table) related data, or data that can be changed by the user, is available in the MeasTable class.
All data. apart from a set of simple constants:

are obtained by calls to a method. This class contains no constructors or destructors, only static methods and (static) constants.

Example

Usage examples can be found in Precession

Motivation

To create a clean interface between the actual calculations and the methods to obtain the parameters for these calculations. Note that the tables are in general in the format and units found in the literature. This is to be able to easy check and change them. However, in the future re-arrangement could produce faster and more compact code.
