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.
