Etymology

Synopsis

Measurements are made in a reference frame (epoch, position, direction, ...).
The class is a container for the reference frame Measures (MEpoch etc). Since a frame will possibly be used by many different Measures, it behaves as a smart pointer, with reference rather than copy characteristics. Since it caches all its operations, it is advisable to have a 'global' MeasFrame across an execution, resetting (or setting) its values when appropriate. The frame can also contain other related information. At the moment the orbit of a solar system body (MeasComet) can be set. In future the planetary ephemeris used (e.g. DE205) and environmental information like refraction data will be added.

A MeasFrame is constructed by setting the appropriate Measures, either in a constructor, or with a set(). The input to the constructors and set are Measures.

Inside the frames automatic conversion to the most appropriate usage of its values is done (e.g. time to TBD time, position to astronomical longitude). These conversions are done only if an explicit Measure::Convert was used that needed information, e.g. the following code:

MeasFrame frame(obser);   // obser is an MPosition
MEpoch::Convert conv(MEpoch(12345), MEpoch::Ref(MEpoch::LAST,obser));
MEpoch last = conv();

will set-up a state machine to convert UTC(default) to LAST in conv; the next call will do the actual conversion. During this conversion, the astronomical longitude (among others) will be needed to convert to local sidereal time. conv will ask (getLong()) this from the frame, which will calculate it (including possible other conversions) from the observatory's position specified in a frame. Any calculation done will be cached (e.g. a Nutation calculation in this case for dpsi), and used in subsequent conversions using the same frame.
Furthermore, a frame will often be regularly updated (e.g. coordinate conversion for a series of times). To make use of cached information, and to speed up as much as possible, reset...() functions are available. These reset functions accept the same range of input parameter types as the MeasConvert () operator, and will keep any determined conversion machines and related information intact, only recalculating whatever is necessary.
The actual frame calculations and interrogations are done in a separate MCFrame hidden class, which attaches itself to MeasFrame when and if necessary (see there if you are really curious).
. get...() functions can return frame measures. Only when the frame has been attached to a calculating machine *MCFrame) are these values available. This attachment is done if the frame has been actively used by a Measure::Convert engine, or if explicitly done by the MCFrame::make(MeasFrame &) static method.
Caution: An explicit (or implicit) call to MCFrame::make will load the whole conversion machinery (including Tables) into your linked module);

Aipsrc keywords can be used for additional (highly specialised) additional internal conversion parameters.

Example

MEpoch my_epoch(Quantity(MeasData::MJDB1950,"d")); // an epoch

MeasFrame frame(my_epoch); // used in a frame

Motivation

To separate the frame definition from the measure type

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum casacore::MeasFrame::FrameTypes

Enumeration for the different farme entries possible.

This can be used to find out if a certain conversion needs the frame. It will be used in a registration/notify environment to enable bypassing of some new conversion settings.
