Member Function Documentation

◆ Initialise()

bool INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::NearestMathPlugin::Initialise ( InMemoryDatabase *  pInMemoryDatabase)
overridevirtual

Initialise or re-initialise the math plugin. Re-reading the in memory database as necessary.

Returns
True if successful

Reimplemented from INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::MathPlugin.

Definition at line 78 of file NearestMathPlugin.cpp.

◆ TransformCelestialToTelescope()

bool INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::NearestMathPlugin::TransformCelestialToTelescope ( const double  RightAscension,
const double  Declination,
double  JulianOffset,
TelescopeDirectionVector &  ApparentTelescopeDirectionVector 
)
overridevirtual

Get the alignment corrected telescope pointing direction for the supplied celestial coordinates.

Parameters
[in]RightAscensionRight Ascension (Decimal Hours).
[in]DeclinationDeclination (Decimal Degrees).
[in]JulianOffsetOffset (days) added to ln_get_julian_from_sys() to form the Julian Date.
[out]ApparentTelescopeDirectionVectorParameter to receive the corrected telescope direction
Returns
True if successful
Note
Built-in plugins implement this as a thin shim that resolves the absolute JD and calls TransformCelestialToTelescopeJD. New callers should use TransformCelestialToTelescopeJD directly.

Implements INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::MathPlugin.

◆ TransformCelestialToTelescopeJD()

bool INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::NearestMathPlugin::TransformCelestialToTelescopeJD ( double  RightAscension,
double  Declination,
double  JulianDate,
TelescopeDirectionVector &  ApparentTelescopeDirectionVector 
)
overridevirtual

Get the alignment corrected telescope pointing direction for the supplied celestial coordinates.

Parameters
[in]RightAscensionRight Ascension (Decimal Hours).
[in]DeclinationDeclination (Decimal Degrees).
[in]JulianDateAbsolute Julian Date (days).
[out]ApparentTelescopeDirectionVectorParameter to receive the corrected telescope direction
Returns
True if successful
Note
Built-in plugins override this method and use JulianDate directly without reading the system clock. External plugins that have not yet adopted this interface use the default implementation, which computes JulianOffset = JulianDate - ln_get_julian_from_sys() and delegates to TransformCelestialToTelescope, so the plugin recovers the correct absolute JD internally.

◆ TransformTelescopeToCelestial()

bool INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::NearestMathPlugin::TransformTelescopeToCelestial ( const TelescopeDirectionVector &  ApparentTelescopeDirectionVector,
double &  RightAscension,
double &  Declination,
double  JulianOffset = 0 
)
overridevirtual

Get the true celestial coordinates for the supplied telescope pointing direction.

Parameters
[in]ApparentTelescopeDirectionVectorthe telescope direction
[out]RightAscensionParameter to receive the Right Ascension (Decimal Hours).
[out]DeclinationParameter to receive the Declination (Decimal Degrees).
[in]JulianOffsetOffset (days) added to ln_get_julian_from_sys() to form the Julian Date (default 0).
Returns
True if successful
Note
Built-in plugins implement this as a thin shim that resolves the absolute JD and calls TransformTelescopeToCelestialJD. New callers should use TransformTelescopeToCelestialJD directly.

◆ TransformTelescopeToCelestialJD()

bool INDI::AlignmentSubsystem::NearestMathPlugin::TransformTelescopeToCelestialJD ( const TelescopeDirectionVector &  ApparentTelescopeDirectionVector,
double &  RightAscension,
double &  Declination,
double  JulianDate 
)
overridevirtual

Get the true celestial coordinates for the supplied telescope pointing direction.

Parameters
[in]ApparentTelescopeDirectionVectorthe telescope direction
[out]RightAscensionParameter to receive the Right Ascension (Decimal Hours).
[out]DeclinationParameter to receive the Declination (Decimal Degrees).
[in]JulianDateAbsolute Julian Date (days).
Returns
True if successful
Note
Built-in plugins override this method and use JulianDate directly without reading the system clock. External plugins that have not yet adopted this interface use the default implementation, which ignores JulianDate and delegates to TransformTelescopeToCelestial with JulianOffset=0.
