Unit

Four types: Angle, HourAngle, RA, and Time, useful in astronomy applications.

These types are all angle-like types. The Time type is at least angle-related. It has conversions to and from the other types and has a function to wrap a Time value to the fractional part of a day.

Motivation

This package supports two other packages, github.com/soniakeys/sexagesimal and github.com/soniakeys/meeus. The sexagesimal package adds formatting to the four types defined here. The meeus package implements a large colection of astronomy algorithms.

Install

Go get

Technically, go get github.com/soniakeys/unit is sufficient as usual.

The tests also require the sexagesimal package, so use the -t option to prompt go get to find it as a test dependency:

go get -t github.com/soniakeys/unit
Vgo

Experimentally, you can try vgo.

To run package tests, clone the repository -- anywhere! it doesn't have to be under GOPATH -- and from the cloned directory run

vgo test

Vgo will fetch the sexagesimal test dependency as needed and run the unit package tests.

Or don't install it

If you only need unit as dependency of some other package that you are installing, the normal installation of that package will likely install unit for you. Try that first.

Documentation

Overview

Unit defines some types used in astronomy, and heavily used by the packages in github.com/soniakeys/meeus. Four types are currently defined, Angle, HourAngle, RA, and Time. All are commonly formatted in sexagesimal notation and the external package github.com/soniakeys/sexagesimal has formatting routines. Routines here are methods on the four types and a few other related functions.

The underlying type for these four types is simply float64. For Angle, HourAngle, and RA, the value is always in radians. For Time, it is seconds.

The choice of methods defined is somewhat arbitrary. Methods were defined as they were found convenient for the Meeus library, and then filled out somewhat for consistency. The convenience is often syntactic; as the underlying type is float64 conversions to and from float64 are often free and otherwise typically only incur a multiplication.

Functions

func FromSexa 

func FromSexa(neg byte, d, m int, s float64) float64

FromSexa converts from parsed sexagesimal angle components to a single float64 value.

The result is in the units of d, the first or "largest" sexagesimal component.

Typically you pass non-negative values for d, m, and s, and to indicate a negative value, pass '-' for neg. Any other value, such as ' ', '+', or simply 0, leaves the result non-negative.

There are no limits on d, m, or s however. Negative values or values > 60 for m and s are allowed for example. The segment values are combined and then if neg is '-' that sum is negated.

This function would commonly be called something like DMSToDegrees, but the interpretation of d as degrees is arbitrary. The function works as well on hours minutes and seconds. Regardless of the units of d, m is a sexagesimal part of d and s is a sexagesimal part of m.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/soniakeys/unit"
)

func main() {
	// Typical usage:  non-negative d, m, s, and '-' to indicate negative:
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa('-', 20, 30, 0))
	// Putting the minus sign on d is not equivalent:
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa(' ', -20, 30, 0))
	fmt.Println()
	// Other combinations can give the same result though:
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa(' ', -20, -30, 0))
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa(' ', -21, 30, 0))
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa(' ', -22, 90, 0))
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexa('-', 22, -90, 0))
}

Output:

-20.5
-19.5

-20.5
-20.5
-20.5
-20.5

func FromSexaSec 

func FromSexaSec(neg byte, d, m int, s float64) float64

FromSexaSec converts from parsed sexagesimal angle components to a single float64 value.

The result is in the units of s, the last or "smallest" sexagesimal component.

Otherwise FromSexaSec works as FromSexa. See FromSexa.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/soniakeys/unit"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(unit.FromSexaSec(' ', 1, 0, 0))
}

Output:

3600

func PMod 

func PMod(x, y float64) float64

PMod returns a positive floating-point x mod y for a positive y.

Argument x can be positive or negative, but y should be positive. With this restriction on y, PMod returns a value in the range [0,y).

The method is intended only for positive y. If y is negative, the result is not particularly useful.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/soniakeys/unit"
)

func main() {
	// Example numbers from the go language spec:
	fmt.Println(" x      y     x % y   PMod(x, y)")
	{
		y := 3
		for _, x := range []int{5, -5} {
			fmt.Printf("%2d %6d %7d %12.1f\n",
				x, y, x%y, unit.PMod(float64(x), float64(y)))
		}
	}
	// A more typical use:
	x := -2.5
	y := 360.
	fmt.Printf("%.1f %4.0f %20.1f\n", x, y, unit.PMod(x, y))
}

Output:

 x      y     x % y   PMod(x, y)
 5      3       2          2.0
-5      3      -2          1.0
-2.5  360                357.5

Types

type Angle 

type Angle float64

Angle represents a general purpose angle.

The value is stored as radians.

There is no "AngleFromRad" constructor. If you have a value `rad` in radians, construct a corresponding Angle simply with the Go type conversion `unit.Angle(rad)`.

func AngleFromDeg 

func AngleFromDeg(d float64) Angle

AngleFromDeg constructs an Angle value from a value representing angular degrees where there are 360 degrees to a circle or revolution.

This provides "Deg2Rad" functionality but hopefully in a more clear way.

Example 
a := unit.AngleFromDeg(180)
fmt.Println(a)
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(a))

Output:

3.141592653589793
180°0′0″

func AngleFromMin

func AngleFromSec 

func AngleFromSec(s float64) Angle

Example 
a := unit.AngleFromSec(83)
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(a))

Output:

1′23″

func NewAngle 

func NewAngle(neg byte, d, m int, s float64) Angle

NewAngle constructs a new Angle value from sign, degree, minute, and second components.

For argument neg, pass '-' to negate the result. Any other argument value, such as ' ', '+', or simply 0, leaves the result non-negated.

Example 
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(unit.NewAngle('-', 0, 32, 41)))
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(unit.NewAngle(' ', 0, 32, 41)))
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(unit.NewAngle('+', 0, 32, 41)))
fmt.Println(sexa.FmtAngle(unit.NewAngle(0, 0, 32, 41)))
