libchealpix0 - 3.30.0-9+b3 main

HEALPix is an acronym for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization
of a sphere. As suggested in the name, this pixelization produces a
subdivision of a spherical surface in which each pixel covers the same
surface area as every other pixel. It is commonly used to store all-sky
astronomical images, most famously maps of the cosmic microwave background.
.
This package provides the dynamic library for the C language implementation
of HEALPix. The C library provides basic input/output of HEALPix maps as well
as basic spatial operations like conversion between spherical coordinates and
HEALPix pixels.
