  Description     : Implementation of the FITS WCS standard

WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers, that
implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) standard in FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System).
.
The FITS data format is widely used within the international astronomical
community, from the radio to gamma-ray regimes, for data interchange and
archive, and also increasingly as an online format.
