VARIABLE I/O DESCRIPTION
-------- --- --------------------------------------------------
body I Body with which coordinate system is associated.
lon I Planetographic longitude of a point (radians).
lat I Planetographic latitude of a point (radians).
alt I Altitude of a point above reference spheroid.
re I Equatorial radius of the reference spheroid.
f I Flattening coefficient.
rectan O Rectangular coordinates of the point.
body Name of the body with which the planetographic
coordinate system is associated.
`body' is used by this routine to look up from the
kernel pool the prime meridian rate coefficient giving
the body's spin sense. See the Files and Particulars
header sections below for details.
lon Planetographic longitude of the input point. This is
the angle between the prime meridian and the meridian
containing the input point. For bodies having
prograde (aka direct) rotation, the direction of
increasing longitude is positive west: from the +X
axis of the rectangular coordinate system toward the
-Y axis. For bodies having retrograde rotation, the
direction of increasing longitude is positive east:
from the +X axis toward the +Y axis.
The earth, moon, and sun are exceptions:
planetographic longitude is measured positive east for
these bodies.
The default interpretation of longitude by this
and the other planetographic coordinate conversion
routines can be overridden; see the discussion in
Particulars below for details.
Longitude is measured in radians. On input, the range
of longitude is unrestricted.
lat Planetographic latitude of the input point. For a
point P on the reference spheroid, this is the angle
between the XY plane and the outward normal vector at
P. For a point P not on the reference spheroid, the
planetographic latitude is that of the closest point
to P on the spheroid.
Latitude is measured in radians. On input, the
range of latitude is unrestricted.
alt Altitude of point above the reference spheroid.
Units of `alt' must match those of `re'.
re Equatorial radius of a reference spheroid. This
spheroid is a volume of revolution: its horizontal
cross sections are circular. The shape of the
spheroid is defined by an equatorial radius `re' and
a polar radius `rp'. Units of `re' must match those of
`alt'.
f Flattening coefficient =
(re-rp) / re
where `rp' is the polar radius of the spheroid, and the
units of `rp' match those of `re'.
rectan The rectangular coordinates of the input point. See
the discussion below in the Particulars header section
for details.
The units associated with `rectan' are those associated
with the inputs `alt' and `re'.
None.
1) If the body name `body' cannot be mapped to a NAIF ID code,
and if `body' is not a string representation of an integer,
the error SPICE(IDCODENOTFOUND) will be signaled.
2) If the kernel variable
BODY<ID code>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
is present in the kernel pool but has a value other
than one of
'EAST'
'WEST'
the error SPICE(INVALIDOPTION) will be signaled. Case
and blanks are ignored when these values are interpreted.
3) If polynomial coefficients for the prime meridian of `body'
are not available in the kernel pool, and if the kernel
variable BODY<ID code>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON is not present in
the kernel pool, the error SPICE(MISSINGDATA) will be signaled.
4) If the equatorial radius is non-positive, the error
SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled.
5) If the flattening coefficient is greater than or equal to one,
the error SPICE(VALUEOUTOFRANGE) is signaled.
6) The error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled if the input
string `body' does not contain at least one character, since the
input string cannot be converted to a Fortran-style string in
this case.
7) The error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled if the input string
pointer `body' is null.
This routine expects a kernel variable giving body's prime
meridian angle as a function of time to be available in the
kernel pool. Normally this item is provided by loading a PCK
file. The required kernel variable is named
BODY<body ID>_PM
where <body ID> represents a string containing the NAIF integer
ID code for `body'. For example, if `body' is "JUPITER", then
the name of the kernel variable containing the prime meridian
angle coefficients is
BODY599_PM
See the PCK Required Reading for details concerning the prime
meridian kernel variable.
The optional kernel variable
BODY<body ID>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
also is normally defined via loading a text kernel. When this
variable is present in the kernel pool, the prime meridian
coefficients for `body' are not required by this routine. See the
Particulars section below for details.
Given the planetographic coordinates of a point, this routine
returns the body-fixed rectangular coordinates of the point. The
body-fixed rectangular frame is that having the X-axis pass
through the 0 degree latitude 0 degree longitude direction, the
Z-axis pass through the 90 degree latitude direction, and the
Y-axis equal to the cross product of the unit Z-axis and X-axis
vectors.
The planetographic definition of latitude is identical to the
planetodetic (also called "geodetic" in SPICE documentation)
definition. In the planetographic coordinate system, latitude is
defined using a reference spheroid. The spheroid is
characterized by an equatorial radius and a polar radius. For a
point P on the spheroid, latitude is defined as the angle between
the X-Y plane and the outward surface normal at P. For a point P
off the spheroid, latitude is defined as the latitude of the
nearest point to P on the spheroid. Note if P is an interior
point, for example, if P is at the center of the spheroid, there
may not be a unique nearest point to P.
In the planetographic coordinate system, longitude is defined
using the spin sense of the body. Longitude is positive to the
west if the spin is prograde and positive to the east if the spin
is retrograde. The spin sense is given by the sign of the first
degree term of the time-dependent polynomial for the body's prime
meridian Euler angle "W": the spin is retrograde if this term is
negative and prograde otherwise. For the sun, planets, most
natural satellites, and selected asteroids, the polynomial
expression for W may be found in a SPICE PCK kernel.
The earth, moon, and sun are exceptions: planetographic longitude
is measured positive east for these bodies.
If you wish to override the default sense of positive longitude
for a particular body, you can do so by defining the kernel
variable
BODY<body ID>_PGR_POSITIVE_LON
where <body ID> represents the NAIF ID code of the body. This
variable may be assigned either of the values
'WEST'
'EAST'
For example, you can have this routine treat the longitude
of the earth as increasing to the west using the kernel
variable assignment
BODY399_PGR_POSITIVE_LON = 'WEST'
Normally such assignments are made by placing them in a text
kernel and loading that kernel via furnsh_c.
The definition of this kernel variable controls the behavior of
the CSPICE planetographic routines
pgrrec_c
recpgr_c
dpgrdr_c
drdpgr_c
It does not affect the other CSPICE coordinate conversion
routines.
Numerical results shown for this example may differ between
platforms as the results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
input and the machine specific arithmetic implementation.

Look up the radii for Mars. Although we
omit it here, we could first call badkpv_c

has three elements and numeric data type.
If the variable is not present in the kernel
pool, bodvrd_c will signal an error.

Do the conversion. Note that we must provide
longitude and latitude in radians.
