Bug#737271: ITP: healpix-cxx -- C++ language interface for Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Leo Singer <leo.singer@ligo.org>

* Package name    : healpix-cxx
Version         : 3.11.2
Upstream Author : Martin Reinecke <martin@mpa-garching.mpg.de>
* URL             : http://healpix.sourceforge.net

Programming Lang: C++
Description     : C++ language interface for Hierarchical Equal Area
isoLatitude Pixelization

This is the C++ language implementation of HEALPix (Hierarchical Equal Area
isoLatitude Pixelization). It is a map projection and indexing scheme for
representing data on the unit sphere, commonly used to store all-sky
astronomical images or databases, including cosmic microwave background maps
and all-sky survey images.

This is the second of three ITPs for the C, C++, and Python interfaces
(chealpix, healpix-cxx, and healpy). I have contributed build-related code
upstream for all three packages and I maintain their respective Mac OS packages
in MacPorts.
