NAME

osac2xrcf - convert rays from OSAC to XRCF coordinates


DESCRIPTION

osac2xrcf reads a ray stream in bpipe format, converts the coordinates into XRCF coordinates and writes the stream out.

The conversion from OSAC to XRCF is as follows:

  x = -z
  y = -x
  z =  y

Both positions and direction cosines are converted.

It writes out a bpipe formatted ray stream.


PARAMETERS

osac2xrcf uses an IRAF compatible parameter interface.

input file
Input ray stream. If the filename is the string stdin, it reads from the standard input stream. It accepts rays in bpipe format.

output file
Output ray stream. If the filename is the string stdout, it writes to the standard output stream. It writes rays in bpipe format.

version boolean
Print out osac2xrcf's version and exit.

help boolean
Print out help and exit.
