Synopsis

A MVEarthMagnetic is a 3-vector of the Earth's magnetic flux density in a rectangular frame with the z-axis to astronomical North pole, and x-axis towards longitude zero, in internal Units of nano tesla (== 0.00001 G).
It can be constructed with:

MVEarthMagnetic() creates (0,0,0)
MVEarthMagnetic(MVEarthMagnetic) creates a copy
MVEarthMagnetic(MVPosition) creates (x,y,z) from the given position
MVEarthMagnetic(Double, Double, Double) creates (x,y,z) with specified values in tesla
MVEarthMagnetic(Quantity length,Double, Double) creates an MVEarthMagnetic assuming that the two values are (in radians) angle along 'equator' and towards 'pole'.
MVEarthMagnetic(Quantity length, Quantity, Quantity) creates an MVEarthMagnetic assuming angles as in previous, or (x,y,z) fields
MVEarthMagnetic(Quantity, Quantum<Vector<Double> >) creates a MVEarthMagnetic from angle vector, using first two angles, and assuming second as zero if not present, and pole if length 0.
MVEarthMagnetic(Quantum<Vector<Double> > creates from angles or fields, depending on the units in the quantum vector. In the angle case, the data derived can be scaled with the readjust() function. If the unit of the quantum vector is magnetic flux density, magnetic field components are assumed.
MVEarthMagnetic(Vector<Double> creates from angles (less than or equal to two elements) or x,y,z (3 elements).
MVEarthMagnetic(Vector<Quantity> creates from length+angles, angles, or x,y,z, depending on units.

A void adjust(Double) function normalises the vector to a length of 1; a get() returns as a Double 3-vector the length and angles of the EarthMagnetic vector; a getAngle() returns a Quantum 2-vector, (uInt) returns the indicated element, and getValue returns the vector.
EarthMagnetics can be added and subtracted.
The multiplication of two EarthMagnetics produces the in-product.
