- - - - - - - - e r a A 2 a f - - - - - - - - Decompose radians into degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds, fraction. Given: ndp int resolution (Note 1) angle double angle in radians Returned: sign char '+' or '-' idmsf int[4] degrees, arcminutes, arcseconds, fraction Called: eraD2tf decompose days to hms Notes: 1) The argument ndp is interpreted as follows: ndp resolution : ...0000 00 00 -7 1000 00 00 -6 100 00 00 -5 10 00 00 -4 1 00 00 -3 0 10 00 -2 0 01 00 -1 0 00 10 0 0 00 01 1 0 00 00.1 2 0 00 00.01 3 0 00 00.001 : 0 00 00.000... 2) The largest positive useful value for ndp is determined by the size of angle, the format of doubles on the target platform, and the risk of overflowing idmsf[3]. On a typical platform, for angle up to 2pi, the available floating-point precision might correspond to ndp=12. However, the practical limit is typically ndp=9, set by the capacity of a 32-bit int, or ndp=4 if int is only 16 bits. 3) The absolute value of angle may exceed 2pi. In cases where it does not, it is up to the caller to test for and handle the case where angle is very nearly 2pi and rounds up to 360 degrees, by testing for idmsf[0]=360 and setting idmsf[0-3] to zero.
