*class++
*  Name:
*     FrameSet

*  Purpose:
*     Set of inter-related coordinate systems.

*  Constructor Function:
c     astFrameSet
f     AST_FRAMESET

*  Description:
*     A FrameSet consists of a set of one or more Frames (which
*     describe coordinate systems), connected together by Mappings
*     (which describe how the coordinate systems are inter-related). A
*     FrameSet makes it possible to obtain a Mapping between any pair
*     of these Frames (i.e. to convert between any of the coordinate
*     systems which it describes).  The individual Frames are
*     identified within the FrameSet by an integer index, with Frames
*     being numbered consecutively from one as they are added to the
*     FrameSet.
*
*     Every FrameSet has a "base" Frame and a "current" Frame (which
*     are allowed to be the same). Any of the Frames may be nominated
*     to hold these positions, and the choice is determined by the
*     values of the FrameSet's Base and Current attributes, which hold
*     the indices of the relevant Frames.  By default, the first Frame
*     added to a FrameSet is its base Frame, and the last one added is
*     its current Frame.
*
*     The base Frame describes the "native" coordinate system of
*     whatever the FrameSet is used to calibrate (e.g. the pixel
*     coordinates of an image) and the current Frame describes the
*     "apparent" coordinate system in which it should be viewed
*     (e.g. displayed, etc.). Any further Frames represent a library
*     of alternative coordinate systems, which may be selected by
*     making them current.
*
*     When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Frame,
*     (e.g. obtaining its Title value, or number of axes), the current
*     Frame is used. A FrameSet may therefore be used in place of its
*     current Frame in most situations.
*
*     When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Mapping,
*     the Mapping used is the one between its base Frame and its
*     current Frame. Thus, a FrameSet may be used to convert "native"
*     coordinates into "apparent" ones, and vice versa. Like any
c     Mapping, a FrameSet may also be inverted (see astInvert), which
f     Mapping, a FrameSet may also be inverted (see AST_INVERT), which
*     has the effect of interchanging its base and current Frames and
*     hence of reversing the Mapping between them.
*
*     Regions may be added into a FrameSet (since a Region is a type of
*     Frame), either explicitly or as components within CmpFrames. In this
*     case the Mapping between a pair of Frames within a FrameSet will
*     include the effects of the clipping produced by any Regions included
*     in the path between the Frames.

*  Inheritance:
*     The FrameSet class inherits from the Frame class.

*  Attributes:
*     In addition to those attributes common to all Frames, every
*     FrameSet also has the following attributes:
*
*     - AllVariants: List of all variant mappings stored with current Frame
*     - Base: FrameSet base Frame index
*     - Current: FrameSet current Frame index
*     - Nframe: Number of Frames in a FrameSet
*     - Variant: Name of variant mapping in use by current Frame

*     Every FrameSet also inherits any further attributes that belong
*     to its current Frame, regardless of that Frame's class. (For
*     example, the Equinox attribute, defined by the SkyFrame class, is
*     inherited by any FrameSet which has a SkyFrame as its current
*     Frame.) The set of attributes belonging to a FrameSet may therefore
*     change when a new current Frame is selected.

*  Functions:
c     In addition to those functions applicable to all Frames, the
c     following functions may also be applied to all FrameSets:
f     In addition to those routines applicable to all Frames, the
f     following routines may also be applied to all FrameSets:
*
c     - astAddFrame: Add a Frame to a FrameSet to define a new coordinate
c     system
c     - astAddVariant: Add a variant Mapping to the current Frame
c     - astGetFrame: Obtain a pointer to a specified Frame in a FrameSet
c     - astGetMapping: Obtain a Mapping between two Frames in a FrameSet
c     - astMirrorVariants: Make the current Frame mirror variant Mappings in another Frame
c     - astRemapFrame: Modify a Frame's relationship to the other Frames in a
c     FrameSet
c     - astRemoveFrame: Remove a Frame from a FrameSet
f     - AST_ADDFRAME: Add a Frame to a FrameSet to define a new coordinate
f     system
f     - AST_ADDVARIANT: Add a variant Mapping to the current Frame
f     - AST_GETFRAME: Obtain a pointer to a specified Frame in a FrameSet
f     - AST_GETMAPPING: Obtain a Mapping between two Frames in a FrameSet
f     - AST_MIRRORVARIANTS: Make the current Frame mirror variant Mappings in another Frame
f     - AST_REMAPFRAME: Modify a Frame's relationship to the other Frames in a
f     FrameSet
f     - AST_REMOVEFRAME: Remove a Frame from a FrameSet

*     12-JUL-1996 (RFWS):
*        Over-ride the astReportPoints method to provide
*        Frame-specific formatting.
*     12-AUG-1996 (RFWS):
*        Upgraded to provide a public interface, plus improvements to
*        astAlign and the handling of nodes as Frames are
*        added/removed.
*     11-SEP-1996 (RFWS):
*        Added Gap.
*     25-SEP-1996 (RFWS):
*        Added I/O facilities.
*     30-MAY-1997 (RFWS):
*        Add special treatment for the ID attribute (which is not
*        derived from the current Frame).
*     10-JUN-1997 (RFWS):
*        Rationalised the astConvert implementation.
*     11-JUN-1997 (RFWS):
*        Added the FindFrame implementation.
*     27-JUN-1997 (RFWS):
*        Fixed bug which caused certain Mapping attributes to be
*        handled by the current Frame instead of by the member
*        functions defined by this class.
*     3-JUL-1997 (RFWS):
*        Fixed bug: failing to extend the invert array in
*        astRemapFrame.
*     10-JUL-1997 (RFWS):
*        Over-ride the astSimplify method.
*     14-NOV-1997 (RFWS):

*     20-NOV-1997 (RFWS):
*        Modified astConvert to use the current Frame of the "to"
*        FrameSet as the destination coordinate system (instead of the

*        Current attribute.
*     22-DEC-1997 (RFWS):
*        Further modified astConvert to convert from the Current Frame
*        of the "from" FrameSet and to modify its Base
*        attribute. Frame search order also reversed if the Invert
*        attribute is non-zero for either FrameSet.

*     17-DEC-2002 (DSB):
*        Override accessors for Frame attributes Top, Bottom, Epoch,
*        System, AlignSystem and ActiveUnit.
*     8-JAN-2003 (DSB):
*        Changed private InitVtab method to protected astInitFrameSetVtab
*        method.
*     24-JAN-2004 (DSB):
*        o  Override the astFields method.
*        o  Add argument "fmt" to Abbrev.
*     23-MAR-2004 (DSB):

*        any Regions in the path between the two supplied Frames.
*     24-AUG-2004 (DSB):
*        - Override various methods inherited from Frame (astAngle,
*	astAxAngle, astAxDistance, astAxOffset, astCheckPerm, astOffset2,
*	astResolve, astSystemCode, astSystemString, astValidateSystem,
*	astValidateAxisSelection). These should have been overridden a
*       long time ago!

*       Override astResolvePoints.
*     12-MAY-2005 (DSB):

*        Override astEqual.
*     30-JUN-2006 (DSB):
*        Allow astAbbrev to have a null "str1" value.
*     22-JUN-2007 (DSB):
*        Modify VSet to avoid using the args va_list twice since the
*        first use (by the parent VSet function) invalidates the va_list
*        causing a segvio to be generated by the second use (when
*        formatting an error message).
*     11-JAN-2008 (DSB):
*        Override the astRate method.
*     17-NOV-2008 (DSB):

*        superclass target.
*     2-SEP-2011 (DSB):

*        tests were logically inverted).
*     3-OCT-2012 (DSB):
*        Fix bug in AppendAxes that could cause internal Mappings to
*        be inverted unintentionally when astAddFrame is called with
*        iframe=AST__ALLFRAMES.
*     29-APR-2013 (DSB):
*        Added attributes AllVariants and Variant. Also added methods
*        astAddVariant and astMirrorVariants.
*     25-SEP-2014 (DSB):
*        Allow Base and Current attributes to be specified by giving a
*        Domain name.
*     17-APR-2015 (DSB):
*        Added Centre.
*     28-APR-2015 (DSB):
*        astAdFrame now takes deep copies of the supplied mapping and
*        frame, rather than just cloning their pointers. So the modified
*        FrameSet is now independent of the supplied Mapping and Frame
*        objects.
*     26-OCT-2016 (DSB):
*        Override the AxNorm method.
*     07-APR-2017 (GSB):
*        Override Dtai and Dut1 accessor methods.
*     07-NOV-2017 (GSB):
*        In AddFrame, check to see if a FrameSet is supplied in place of
*        a Mapping and if so, use the FrameSet's base -> current Mapping
*        instead.
*     11-DEC-2017 (DSB):
*        Added method astGetNode.

*                         const char *str1, const char *str2, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the protected astAbbrev
*     method inherited from the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function compares two FrameSet axis values that have been
*     formatted (using astFormat) and determines if they have any
*     redundant leading fields (i.e. leading fields in common which
*     can be suppressed when tabulating the values or plotting them on
*     the axis of a graph).

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
*     axis
*        The number of the FrameSet axis for which the values have
*        been formatted (axis numbering starts at zero for the first
*        axis).
*     fmt
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated string containing the
*        format specification used to format the two values.
*     str1
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated string containing the
*        first formatted value. If this is null, the returned pointer
*        points to the start of the final field in str2.
*     str2
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated string containing the
*        second formatted value.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer into the "str2" string which locates the first
*     character in the first field that differs between the two
*     formatted values.
*
*     If the two values have no leading fields in common, the returned
*     value will point at the start of string "str2". If the two
*     values are equal, it will point at the terminating null at the
*     end of this string.

*  Notes:
*     - This function assumes that the format specification used was
*     the same when both values were formatted and that they both
*     apply to the same FrameSet axis.
*     - A pointer to the start of "str2" will be returned if this
*     function is invoked with the global error status set, or if it
*     should fail for any reason.

f        This routine may also be used to merge two FrameSets by

*        (see the Notes section for details).
f     STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
f        The global status.

*  Notes:
*     - Deep copies of the supplied
c     "mapping" and "frame"
f     MAPPING and FRAME
*     objects are stored within the modified FrameSet. So any changes made
*     to the FrameSet after calling this method will have no effect on the
*     supplied Mapping and Frame objects.
*     - A value of AST__BASE or AST__CURRENT may be given for the
c     "iframe" parameter to specify the base Frame or the current
f     IFRAME argument to specify the base Frame or the current
*     Frame respectively.
c     - This function sets the value of the Current attribute for the
f     - This routine sets the value of the Current attribute for the
*     FrameSet so that the new Frame subsequently becomes the current
*     Frame.
*     - The number of input coordinate values accepted by the supplied
*     Mapping (its Nin attribute) must match the number of axes in the
c     Frame identified by the "iframe" parameter. Similarly, the
f     Frame identified by the IFRAME argument. Similarly, the
*     number of output coordinate values generated by this Mapping
*     (its Nout attribute) must match the number of axes in the new
*     Frame.
*     - As a special case, if a pointer to a FrameSet is given for the
c     "frame" parameter, this is treated as a request to merge a pair of
f     FRAME argument, this is treated as a request to merge a pair of
*     FrameSets.  This is done by appending all the new Frames (in the
c     "frame" FrameSet) to the original FrameSet, while preserving
f     FRAME FrameSet) to the original FrameSet, while preserving
*     their order and retaining all the inter-relationships
*     (i.e. Mappings) between them. The two sets of Frames are
*     inter-related within the merged FrameSet by using the Mapping
*     supplied. This should convert between the Frame identified by
c     the "iframe" parameter (in the original FrameSet) and the current
c     Frame of the "frame" FrameSet. This latter Frame becomes the
f     the IFRAME argument (in the original FrameSet) and the current
f     Frame of the FRAME FrameSet. This latter Frame becomes the
*     current Frame in the merged FrameSet.
*     - As another special case, if a value of AST__ALLFRAMES is supplied
*     for parameter
c     "iframe",
f     IFRAME,
*     then the supplied Mapping is ignored, and the axes defined by the
*     supplied Frame are appended to each Frame in the FrameSet. In detail,
*     each Frame in the FrameSet is replaced by a CmpFrame containing the
*     original Frame and the Frame specified by parameter
c     "frame".
f     FRAME.
*     In addition, each Mapping in the FrameSet is replaced by a CmpMap
*     containing the original Mapping and a UnitMap in parallel. The Nin and
*     Nout attributes of the UnitMap are set equal to the number of axes
*     in the supplied Frame. Each new CmpMap is simplified using

*  Description:
*     This function finds the angle at point B between the line joining points

*     geodesic curves appropriate to the Frame in use. For instance, in

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the Frame.
*     a
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute) containing the coordinates of the first point.
*     b
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis

*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     astAngle
*        The angle in radians, from the line AB to the line CB. If the

*        always be returned in the range zero to $\pi$.

*  Description:

*     permutation specified by the array is not valid, an error is
*     reported and the global error status is set. Otherwise, the

*     perm
*        Pointer to an array of integers with the same number of

/*
*  Name:
*     Convert

*  Purpose:
*     Determine how to convert between two coordinate systems.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "frameset.h"
*     AstFrameSet *Convert( AstFrame *from, AstFrame *to,
*                           const char *domainlist, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the public astConvert
*     method inherited fromm the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function compares two FrameSets and determines whether it
*     is possible to convert between the coordinate systems which
*     their current Frames represent. If conversion is possible, it
*     returns a FrameSet which describes the conversion and which may
*     be used (as a Mapping) to transform coordinate values in either
*     direction.
*
*     If conversion is possible, the Base attributes of both FrameSets
*     will be modified on exit to identify the Frames which were used
*     as the intermediate coordinate system.

*  Parameters:
*     from
*        Pointer to a FrameSet whose current Frame represents the
*        "source" coordinate system.  Note that the Base attribute of
*        the FrameSet may be modified by this function.
*     to
*        Pointer to a FrameSet whose current Frame represents the
*        "destination" coordinate system.  Note that the Base
*        attribute of the FrameSet may be modified by this function.
*     domainlist
*        Pointer to a null-terminated character string containing a
*        comma-separated list of Frame domains. This may be used to
*        define a priority order for the different intermediate
*        coordinate systems that might be used to perform the
*        conversion.
*
*        The function will first try to obtain a conversion by making
*        use only of intermediate Frames whose Domain attribute
*        matches the first domain in this list. If this fails, the
*        second domain in the list will be used, and so on, until
*        conversion is achieved. A blank domain (e.g. two consecutive
*        commas) indicates that all Frames should be considered,
*        regardless of their Domain attributes. The list is
*        case-insensitive and all white space is ignored.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*        If the requested coordinate conversion is possible, the
*        function returns a pointer to a FrameSet which describes the
*        conversion. Otherwise, a null Object pointer (AST__NULL) is
*        returned without error.
*
*        If a FrameSet is returned, it will contain two Frames. Frame
*        number 1 (its base Frame) will describe the source coordinate
*        system, corresponding to the "from" parameter. Frame number 2
*        (its current Frame) will describe the destination coordinate
*        system, corresponding to the "to" parameter. The Mapping
*        which inter-relates these Frames will perform the required
*        conversion between the two coordinate systems.

*  Notes:
*     - Either of the "from" and "to" pointers may identify a basic
*     Frame instead of a FrameSet, in which case the function behaves
*     as if it were a FrameSet containing only a single Frame.
*     - A NULL pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

* Implementation Notes:
*    - This function is simply a wrap-up for the ConvertX function
*    which performs the required processing but swaps the order of the
*    first two arguments. This is a trick to allow the astConvert
*    method to be over-ridden by derived classes on the basis of the
*    class of either of the first two arguments.

*        The maximum number of fields to identify within "str".
*     fields
*        A pointer to an array of at least "maxfld" character pointers.
*        Each element is returned holding a pointer to the start of the

*     nc
*        A pointer to an array of at least "maxfld" integers. Each

*  Notes:
*     - Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
*     - If the formatted value is not consistent with the supplied format

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the astFindFrame method
*     inherited from the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function uses a "template" Frame to search a FrameSet to
*     identify a coordinate system which has a specified set of
*     characteristics. If a suitable coordinate system can be found,
*     the function returns a pointer to a FrameSet which describes the
*     required coordinate system and how to convert coordinates to and
*     from it.

*  Parameters:
*     target
*        Pointer to the target FrameSet.  Note that if a suitable
*        coordinate system is found, then the FrameSet's Current
*        attribute will be modified to indicate which Frame was used
*        to obtain attribute values which were not specified by the
*        template.
*     template
*        Pointer to the template Frame, which should be an instance of
*        the type of Frame you wish to find.
*     domainlist
*        Pointer to a null-terminated character string containing a
*        comma-separated list of Frame domains. This may be used to
*        establish a priority order for the different types of
*        coordinate system that might be found.
*
*        The function will first try to find a suitable coordinate
*        system whose Domain attribute equals the first domain in this
*        list. If this fails, the second domain in the list will be
*        used, and so on, until a result is obtained. A blank domain
*        (e.g. two consecutive commas) indicates that any coordinate
*        system is acceptable (subject to the template) regardless of
*        its domain.
*
*        This list is case-insensitive and all white space is ignored.
*        If you do not wish to restrict the domain in this way, you
*        should supply an empty string.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     If the search is successful, the function returns a pointer to a
*     FrameSet which contains the Frame found and a description of how
*     to convert to (and from) the coordinate system it
*     represents. Otherwise, a null Object pointer (AST__NULL) is
*     returned without error.
*
*     If a FrameSet is returned, it will contain two Frames. Frame
*     number 1 (its base Frame) represents the target coordinate
*     system and will be the same as the (base Frame of the)
*     target. Frame number 2 (its current Frame) will be a Frame
*     representing the coordinate system which the function found. The
*     Mapping which inter-relates these two Frames will describe how
*     to convert between their respective coordinate systems.

*  Notes:
*     - A null Object pointer (AST__NULL) will be returned if this
*     function is invoked with the AST error status set, or if it
*     should fail for any reason.

*  Description:
*     This function examines a Frame within a FrameSet, identified by its

*  Notes:
*     - Using this function a second time on the same Frame will have no

*        Pointer to a Mapping whose forward transformation converts
*        coordinates from the first coordinate system to the second
*        one, and whose inverse transformation converts coordinates in

*  Notes:
*     - The returned Mapping will include the clipping effect of any
*     Regions which occur on the path between the two supplied Frames
*     (this includes the two supplied Frames themselves).
c     - The values given for the "iframe1" and "iframe2" parameters

c     permissible for both these parameters to have the same value, in
f     permissible for both these arguments to have the same value, in
*     which case a unit Mapping (UnitMap) is returned.
*     - It should always be possible to generate the Mapping
*     requested, but this does necessarily guarantee that it will be
*     able to perform the required coordinate conversion. If
*     necessary, the TranForward and TranInverse attributes of the
*     returned Mapping should be inspected to determine if the
*     required transformation is available.

*     by two points on the curve.

*  Parameters:

*        Pointer to the SkyFrame.
*     a1
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis.
*        This should contain the coordinates of a point on the first
*        geodesic curve.
*     a2
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis.
*        This should contain the coordinates of a second point on the
*        first geodesic curve.
*     b1
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis.
*        This should contain the coordinates of a point on the second
*        geodesic curve.
*     b2
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis.
*        This should contain the coordinates of a second point on
*        the second geodesic curve.
*     cross
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        in which the coordinates of the required intersection
*        point will be returned. These will be AST__BAD if the curves do
*        not intersect.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Notes:
*     - The geodesic curve used by this function is the path of
*     shortest distance between two points, as defined by the
*     astDistance function.
*     - This function will return "bad" coordinate values (AST__BAD)
*     if any of the input coordinates has this value.
*     - For SkyFrames each curve will be a great circle, and in general
*     each pair of curves will intersect at two diametrically opposite
*     points on the sky. The returned position is the one which is
*     closest to point "a1".

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the protected astLineCrossing

*  Description:
*     This function determines if the two suplied line segments cross,

*     A flag is also returned indicating if the crossing point occurs
*     within the length of both line segments, or outside one or both of
*     the line segments.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the Frame.
*     l1
*        Pointer to the structure defining the first line.
*     l2
*        Pointer to the structure defining the second line.
*     cross
*        Pointer to a location at which to put a pointer to a dynamically
*        alocated array containing the axis values at the crossing. If
*        NULL is supplied no such array is returned. Otherwise, the returned
*        array should be freed using astFree when no longer needed. If the
*        lines are parallel (i.e. do not cross) then AST__BAD is returned for
*        all axis values. Note usable axis values are returned even if the
*        lines cross outside the segment defined by the start and end points
*        of the lines. The order of axes in the returned array will take
*        account of the current axis permutation array if appropriate. Note,
*        sub-classes such as SkyFrame may append extra values to the end
*        of the basic frame axis values. A NULL pointer is returned if an
*        error occurs.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     A non-zero value is returned if the lines cross at a point which is
*     within the [start,end) segment of both lines. If the crossing point
*     is outside this segment on either line, or if the lines are parallel,
*     zero is returned. Note, the start point is considered to be inside
*     the length of the segment, but the end point is outside.

*  Notes:
*     - The pointers supplied for "l1" and "l2" should have been created
*     using the astLineDef method. These structures contained cached

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new Mapping by picking specified inputs from

*     correspond to some subset of the FrameSet outputs. That is, there
*     must exist a subset of the FrameSet outputs for which each output

*        Pointer to the FrameSet to be split (the FrameSet is not actually
*        modified by this function).
*     nin
*        The number of inputs to pick from "this".

*        is the number of inputs of the supplied FrameSet, then each element
*        should have a value in the range zero to Nin-1.
*     map
*        Address of a location at which to return a pointer to the new
*        Mapping. This Mapping will have "nin" inputs (the number of
*        outputs may be different to "nin"). A NULL pointer will be
*        returned if the supplied FrameSet has no subset of outputs which
*        depend only on the selected inputs.
*     status

*     that describes the coordinate system that results when this
*     Mapping is applied to the current Frame of the target
*     FrameSet. In addition, information is returned to allow the axes
*     in this "result" Frame to be associated with the corresponding
*     axes in the target and template Frames from which they are
*     derived.

*  Parameters:
*     template
*        Pointer to the template FrameSet, whose current Frame
*        describes the coordinate system (or set of possible
*        coordinate systems) into which we wish to convert our
*        coordinates.
*     target
*        Pointer to the target Frame. This describes the coordinate
*        system in which we already have coordinates.
*     matchsub
*        If zero then a match only occurs if the template is of the same
*        class as the target, or of a more specialised class. If non-zero
*        then a match can occur even if this is not the case (i.e. if the
*        target is of a more specialised class than the template). In
*        this latter case, the target is cast down to the class of the
*        template. NOTE, this argument is handled by the global method
*        wrapper function "astMatch_", rather than by the class-specific
*        implementations of this method.
*     template_axes
*        Address of a location where a pointer to int will be returned
*        if the requested coordinate conversion is possible. This
*        pointer will point at a dynamically allocated array of
*        integers with one element for each axis of the "result" Frame
*        (see below). It must be freed by the caller (using astFree)
*        when no longer required.
*
*        For each axis in the result Frame, the corresponding element
*        of this array will return the index of the axis in the
*        template FrameSet's current Frame from which it is
*        derived. If it is not derived from any template FrameSet
*        axis, a value of -1 will be returned instead.
*     target_axes
*        Address of a location where a pointer to int will be returned
*        if the requested coordinate conversion is possible. This
*        pointer will point at a dynamically allocated array of
*        integers with one element for each axis of the "result" Frame
*        (see below). It must be freed by the caller (using astFree)
*        when no longer required.
*
*        For each axis in the result Frame, the corresponding element
*        of this array will return the index of the target Frame axis
*        from which it is derived. If it is not derived from any
*        target Frame axis, a value of -1 will be returned instead.
*     map
*        Address of a location where a pointer to a new Mapping will
*        be returned if the requested coordinate conversion is
*        possible. If returned, the forward transformation of this
*        Mapping may be used to convert coordinates between the target
*        Frame and the result Frame (see below) and the inverse
*        transformation will convert in the opposite direction.
*     result
*        Address of a location where a pointer to a new Frame will be
*        returned if the requested coordinate conversion is
*        possible. If returned, this Frame describes the coordinate
*        system that results from applying the returned Mapping
*        (above) to the "target" coordinate system. In general, this
*        Frame will combine attributes from (and will therefore be
*        more specific than) both the target Frame and the current
*        Frame of the template FrameSet. In particular, when the
*        template allows the possibility of transformaing to any one
*        of a set of alternative coordinate systems, the "result"
*        Frame will indicate which of the alternatives was used.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     A non-zero value is returned if the requested coordinate
*     conversion is possible. Otherwise zero is returned (this will
*     not in itself result in an error condition).

*  Notes:
*     - A value of zero will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Synopsis:
c     #include "frameset.h"
c     void astMirrorVariants( AstFrameSet *this, int iframe )
f     CALL AST_MIRRORVARIANTS( THIS, IFRAME, STATUS )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet method.

*  Description:
c     This function
f     This routine
*     indicates that all access to the Variant attribute of the current
*     Frame should should be forwarded to some other nominated Frame in
*     the FrameSet. For instance, if a value is set subsequently for the
*     Variant attribute of the current Frame, the current Frame will be left
*     unchanged and the setting is instead applied to the nominated Frame.
*     Likewise, if the value of the Variant attribute is requested, the
*     value returned is the value stored for the nominated Frame rather
*     than the current Frame itself.
*
*     This provides a mechanism for propagating the effects of variant
*     Mappings around a FrameSet. If a new Frame is added to a FrameSet
*     by connecting it to an pre-existing Frame that has two or more variant
*     Mappings, then it may be appropriate to set the new Frame so that it
*     mirrors the variants Mappings of the pre-existing Frame. If this is
*     done, then it will be possible to select a specific variant Mapping
*     using either the pre-existing Frame or the new Frame.

*  Parameters:
c     this
f     THIS = INTEGER (Given)
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
c     iframe
f     IFRAME = INTEGER (Given)
*        The index of the Frame within the FrameSet which is to be
*        mirrored by the current Frame. This value should lie in the range
*        from 1 to the number of Frames in the FrameSet (as given by its
*        Nframe attribute). If AST__NOFRAME is supplied (or the current
*        Frame is specified), then any mirroring established by a previous
*        call to this
c        function
f        routine
*        is disabled.
f     STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
f        The global status.

*  Notes:
*     - Mirrors can be chained. That is, if Frame B is set to be a mirror
*     of Frame A, and Frame C is set to be a mirror of Frame B, then
*     Frame C will act as a mirror of Frame A.
*     - Variant Mappings cannot be added to the current Frame if it is
*     mirroring another Frame. So calls to the
c     astAddVariant function
f     AST_ADDVARIANT routine
*     will cause an error to be reported if the current Frame is
*     mirroring another Frame.
*     - A value of AST__BASE may be given for the
c     "iframe" parameter
f     IFRAME argument
*     to specify the base Frame.
*     - Any variant Mappings explicitly added to the current Frame using
c     astAddVariant
f     AST_ADDVARIANT
*     will be ignored if the current Frame is mirroring another Frame.

*     offset
*        The required offset from the first point along the geodesic

*     the positive direction of axis 2 to the positive direction of axis 1.

*  Notes:
*     - The geodesic curve used by this function is the path of

*     - An error will be reported if the Frame is not 2-dimensional.
*     - This function will return "bad" coordinate values (AST__BAD)

*  Description:
*     This function overlays attributes from the current Frame of a

*     attributes of that second Frame. Normally only those attributes
*     which have been specifically set in the template will be

*     original attributes (as the default) if new values have not
*     previously been explicitly set in the template.

*  Parameters:
*     template
*        Pointer to the template FrameSet, for whose current Frame
*        values should have been explicitly set for any attribute
*        which is to be transferred.
*     template_axes
*        Pointer to an array of int, with one element for each axis of

*        frame, the corresponding element of this array should contain
*        the (zero-based) index of the axis in the current Frame of
*        the template FrameSet to which it corresponds. This array is
*        used to establish from which template Frame axis any
*        axis-dependent attributes should be obtained.
*
*        If any axis in the result Frame is not associated with a
*        template Frame axis, the corresponding element of this array
*        should be set to -1.
*

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new Frame whose axes are copies of axes
*     picked from the current Frame of an existing FrameSet. Other
*     Frame attributes are also copied from this current Frame to the
*     new Frame. Zero or more of the original axes may be picked in
*     any order, but each can be used only once. Additional axes (with

*     required.
*
*     Optionally, a Mapping that converts between the original Frame's
*     axes and those of the new Frame may also be returned.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
*     naxes
*        The number of axes required in the new Frame.
*     axes
*        Pointer to an array of int with naxes elements. This should
*        contain (zero based) axis indices specifying the axes which
*        are to be included in the new Frame, in the order
*        required. Each axis index may occur only once.
*
*        If additional (default) axes are also to be included, the
*        corresponding elements of this array should be set to -1.
*     map
*        Address of a location to receive a pointer to a new
*        Mapping. This will be a PermMap (or a UnitMap as a special
*        case) that describes the axis permutation that has taken
*        place between the current Frame of the FrameSet and the new
*        Frame.  The forward transformation will convert from the
*        original FrameSet's axes to the new one's, and vice versa.
*
*        If this Mapping is not required, a NULL value may be supplied
*        for this parameter.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Pointer to the new Frame.

*  Notes:
*     - The class of object returned may differ from that of the
*     original current Frame, depending on which axes are
*     selected. For example, if a single axis is picked from a
*     SkyFrame (which always has two axes), the resulting Frame cannot
*     be a valid SkyFrame, so will revert to the parent class (Frame)
*     instead.
*     - The new Frame contains a deep copy of all the data selected
*     from the original current Frame. Modifying the new Frame will
*     therefore not affect the FrameSet or the Frames it contains.
*     - A NULL pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Notes:

f     AST_REMOVEFRAME

*  Purpose:
*     Remove a Frame from a FrameSet.

*  Type:

*  Synopsis:
c     #include "frameset.h"
c     void astRemoveFrame( AstFrameSet *this, int iframe )
f     CALL AST_REMOVEFRAME( THIS, IFRAME, STATUS )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet method.

*  Description:
c     This function removes a Frame from a FrameSet. All other Frames
f     This routine removes a Frame from a FrameSet. All other Frames
*     in the FrameSet have their indices re-numbered from one (if
*     necessary), but are otherwise unchanged.

*  Parameters:
c     this
f     THIS = INTEGER (Given)
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
c     iframe
f     IFRAME = INTEGER (Given)
*        The index within the FrameSet of the Frame to be removed.
*        This value should lie in the range from 1 to the number of
*        Frames in the FrameSet (as given by its Nframe attribute).
f     STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
f        The global status.

*  Notes:
*     - Removing a Frame from a FrameSet does not affect the
*     relationship between other Frames in the FrameSet, even if they
*     originally depended on the Frame being removed.
*     - The number of Frames in a FrameSet cannot be reduced to zero.
*     An error will result if an attempt is made to remove the only
*     remaining Frame.
*     - A value of AST__BASE or AST__CURRENT may be given for the
c     "iframe" parameter to specify the base Frame or the current
f     IFRAME argument to specify the base Frame or the current
*     Frame respectively.
*     - If a FrameSet's base or current Frame is removed, the Base or
*     Current attribute (respectively) of the FrameSet will have its
*     value cleared, so that another Frame will then assume its role
*     by default.
*     - If any other Frame is removed, the base and current Frames
*     will remain the same. To ensure this, the Base and/or Current
*     attributes of the FrameSet will be changed, if necessary, to
*     reflect any change in the indices of these Frames.

*  Name:

*  Purpose:
*     Resolve a vector into two orthogonal components

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "frameset.h"
*     void Resolve( AstFrame *this, const double point1[],
*                   const double point2[], const double point3[],
*                   double point4[], double *d1, double *d2, int *status );

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the protected astResolve
*     method inherited from the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function resolves a vector into two perpendicular components.
*     The vector from point 1 to point 2 is used as the basis vector.
*     The vector from point 1 to point 3 is resolved into components
*     parallel and perpendicular to this basis vector. The lengths of the
*     two components are returned, together with the position of closest
*     aproach of the basis vector to point 3.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the Frame.
*     point1
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute). This marks the start of the basis vector,
*        and of the vector to be resolved.
*     point2
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute). This marks the end of the basis vector.
*     point3
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute). This marks the end of the vector to be
*        resolved.
*     point4
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        in which the coordinates of the point of closest approach of the
*        basis vector to point 3 will be returned.
*     d1
*        The address of a location at which to return the distance from
*        point 1 to point 4 (that is, the length of the component parallel
*        to the basis vector). Positive values are in the same sense as
*        movement from point 1 to point 2.
*     d2
*        The address of a location at which to return the distance from
*        point 4 to point 3 (that is, the length of the component
*        perpendicular to the basis vector). The value is always positive.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Notes:
*     - Each vector used in this function is the path of
*     shortest distance between two points, as defined by the
*     astDistance function.
*     - This function will return "bad" coordinate values (AST__BAD)
*     if any of the input coordinates has this value, or if the required
*     output values are undefined.

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the astResolvePoints method
*     inherited from the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function takes a Frame and a set of vectors encapsulated
*     in a PointSet, and resolves each one into two orthogonal components,
*     returning these two components in another PointSet.
*
*     This is exactly the same as the public astResolve method, except
*     that this method allows many vectors to be processed in a single call,
*     thus reducing the computational cost of overheads of many
*     individual calls to astResolve.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the Frame.
*     point1
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute). This marks the start of the basis vector,
*        and of the vectors to be resolved.
*     point2
*        An array of double, with one element for each Frame axis
*        (Naxes attribute). This marks the end of the basis vector.
*     in
*        Pointer to the PointSet holding the ends of the vectors to be
*        resolved.
*     out
*        Pointer to a PointSet which will hold the length of the two
*        resolved components. A NULL value may also be given, in which
*        case a new PointSet will be created by this function.

*  Returned Value:
*     Pointer to the output (possibly new) PointSet. The first axis will
*     hold the lengths of the vector components parallel to the basis vector.
*     These values will be signed (positive values are in the same sense as
*     movement from point 1 to point 2. The second axis will hold the lengths
*     of the vector components perpendicular to the basis vector. These
*     values will always be positive.

*  Notes:
*     - The number of coordinate values per point in the input
*     PointSet must match the number of axes in the supplied Frame.
*     - If an output PointSet is supplied, it must have space for
*     sufficient number of points and 2 coordinate values per point.
*     - A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Name:

*  Purpose:

*     int Span( AstFrameSet *this, AstFrame **frames, int inode1, int inode2,
*               int avoid, AstMapping **map, int *forward, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function.

*  Description:
*     This function searches a FrameSet to identify a path between two
*     specified nodes. It returns an array of pointers to each Mapping
*     in the path, along with direction information, so that an
*     overall Mapping between the two nodes can be constructed.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
*     frames
*        Pointer to an array of Frame pointers, indexed by node index.
*        Nodes which have no associated Frame will have a NULL pointer
*        stored in this array.
*     inode1
*        Zero based index of the starting node.
*     inode2
*        Zero based index of the ending node.
*     avoid
*        Zero based index which identifies a node which is to be
*        avoided (i.e. the initial step in the path should not be via
*        this node). This value is required because the function
*        invokes itself recursively; it provides a mechanism to
*        prevent searches proceeding back down paths that have already
*        been searched. External callers should provide a value of -1,
*        which indicates that all possible paths should initially be
*        explored.
*     map
*        Pointer to the start of an array that will be filled with a
*        series of pointers to Mappings which must be applied in turn
*        in order to transform between the two Frames. External
*        callers should ensure that this array contains at least as many
*        elements as there are Mappings and Frames in the FrameSet (one less
*        than the number of nodes plus the number of Frames).
*
*        Note that the pointers are simply copies of addresses from
*        the FrameSet's "map" array. They are not cloned, so should
*        not be annulled by the caller.
*     forward
*        Pointer to the start of an array of int that will be filled
*        with boolean flags (0 or 1) to indicate whether the forward
*        (as opposed to the inverse) transformation should be used for
*        each Mapping returned in order to effect the transformation
*        between the starting and ending nodes. This array should be the
*        same size as the "map" array.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     The function returns one more than the number of Mappings
*     required to perform the transformation, or zero if it was not
*     possible to find a path between the two nodes.

*  Notes:
*     - If a node has an associated Frame, the Frame usually represents a
*     UnitMap and so can be ignored. The exception is if the Frame is
*     actually a Region (or a CmpFrame containing a Region), in which case
*     it represents a Mapping which returns bad values if the input position
*     is outside the region. This form of Mapping should not be ignored, and
*     so the returned list of Mappings includes the effect of any Frames
*     along the path which are not equivalent to a UnitMap. This
*     equivalence is determined by invoking the astSimplify method on the
*     Frame.
*     - A value of zero will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global status set, or if it should fail for any reason.

/*
*  Name:
*     SubFrame

*  Purpose:
*     Select axes from a FrameSet and convert to the new coordinate system.

*  Type:
*     Private function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "frameset.h"
*     int SubFrame( AstFrame *target, AstFrame *template, int result_naxes,
*                   const int *target_axes, const int *template_axes,
*                   AstMapping **map, AstFrame **result, int *status )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet member function (over-rides the protected astSubFrame
*     method inherited from the Frame class).

*  Description:
*     This function selects a requested sub-set (or super-set) of the
*     axes from the current Frame of a "target" FrameSet and creates a
*     new Frame with copies of the selected axes assembled in the
*     requested order. It then optionally overlays the attributes of a
*     "template" Frame on to the result. It returns both the resulting
*     Frame and a Mapping that describes how to convert between the
*     coordinate systems described by the current Frame of the target
*     FrameSet and the result Frame. If necessary, this Mapping takes
*     account of any differences in the Frames' attributes due to the
*     influence of the template.

*  Parameters:
*     target
*        Pointer to the target FrameSet, from whose current Frame the
*        axes are to be selected.
*     template
*        Pointer to the template Frame, from which new attributes for
*        the result Frame are to be obtained. Optionally, this may be
*        NULL, in which case no overlaying of template attributes will
*        be performed.
*     result_naxes
*        Number of axes to be selected from the target FrameSet. This
*        number may be greater than or less than the number of axes in
*        the FrameSet's current Frame (or equal).
*     target_axes
*        Pointer to an array of int with result_naxes elements, giving
*        a list of the (zero-based) axis indices of the axes to be
*        selected from the current Frame of the target FrameSet. The
*        order in which these are given determines the order in which
*        the axes appear in the result Frame. If any of the values in
*        this array is set to -1, the corresponding result axis will
*        not be derived from the target FrameSet, but will be assigned
*        default attributes instead.
*     template_axes
*        Pointer to an array of int with result_naxes elements. This
*        should contain a list of the template axes (given as
*        zero-based axis indices) with which the axes of the result
*        Frame are to be associated. This array determines which axes
*        are used when overlaying axis-dependent attributes of the
*        template on to the result. If any element of this array is
*        set to -1, the corresponding result axis will not receive any
*        template attributes.
*
*        If the template argument is given as NULL, this array is not
*        used and a NULL pointer may also be supplied here.
*     map
*        Address of a location to receive a pointer to the returned
*        Mapping.  The forward transformation of this Mapping will
*        describe how to convert coordinates from the coordinate
*        system described by the current Frame of the target FrameSet
*        to that described by the result Frame. The inverse
*        transformation will convert in the opposite direction.
*     result
*        Address of a location to receive a pointer to the result Frame.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     A non-zero value is returned if coordinate conversion is
*     possible between the current Frame of the target FrameSet and
*     the result Frame. Otherwise zero is returned and *map and
*     *result are returned as NULL (but this will not in itself result
*     in an error condition). In general, coordinate conversion should
*     always be possible if no template Frame is supplied but may not
*     always be possible otherwise.

*  Notes:
*     - A value of zero will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Class Membership:

*  Description:
*     This function takes a FrameSet and a set of points encapsulated
*     in a PointSet, and applies either the forward or inverse
*     coordinate transformation (if defined by the FrameSet) to the
*     points. The forward transformation converts between the
*     FrameSet's base Frame and its current Frame, while the inverse
*     transformation converts in the opposite direction.

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
*     in
*        Pointer to the PointSet holding the input coordinate data.
*     forward
*        A non-zero value indicates that the forward coordinate transformation
*        should be applied, while a zero value requests the inverse
*        transformation.
*     out
*        Pointer to a PointSet which will hold the transformed (output)
*        coordinate values. A NULL value may also be given, in which case a
*        new PointSet will be created by this function.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.

*  Returned Value:
*     Pointer to the output (possibly new) PointSet.

*  Notes:
*     - An error will result if the FrameSet supplied does not define
*     the requested coordinate transformation (either forward or
*     inverse).
*     - The number of coordinate values per point in the input
*     PointSet must match the number of input coordinates for the
*     FrameSet being applied (or number of output coordinates if the
*     inverse transformation is requested).  This will be equal to the
*     number of axes in the FrameSet's base Frame (or the current
*     Frame for the inverse transformation).
*     - If an output PointSet is supplied, it must have space for
*     sufficient number of points and coordinate values per point to
*     accommodate the result (e.g. the number of FrameSet output
*     coordinates, or number of input coordinates if the inverse
*     transformation is requested). Any excess space will be ignored.
*     - A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Notes:
*     - Any white space at the beginning of the string will be

*     - A function value of zero (and no coordinate value) will be

*     - The string "<bad>" is recognised as a special case and will

*     - A function result of zero will be returned and no coordinate

/*
*att++
*  Name:
*     Variant

*  Purpose:
*     Indicates which variant of the current Frame is to be used.

*  Type:
*     Public attribute.

*  Synopsis:
*     String.

*  Description:
*     This attribute can be used to change the Mapping that connects the
*     current Frame to the other Frames in the FrameSet. By default, each
*     Frame in a FrameSet is connected to the other Frames by a single
*     Mapping that can only be changed by using the
c     astRemapFrame
f     AST_REMAPFRAME
*     method. However, it is also possible to associate multiple Mappings
*     with a Frame, each Mapping having an identifying name. If this is
*     done, the "Variant" attribute can be set to indicate the name of
*     the Mapping that is to be used with the current Frame.
*
*     A possible (if unlikely) use-case is to create a FrameSet that can
*     be used to describe the WCS of an image formed by co-adding images
*     of two different parts of the sky. In such an image, each pixel contains
*     flux from two points on the sky.and so the WCS for the image should
*     ideally contain one pixel Frame and two SkyFrames - one describing
*     each of the two co-added images. There is nothing to prevent a
*     FrameSet containing two explicit SkyFrames, but the problem then arises
*     of how to distinguish between them. The two primary characteristics of
*     a Frame that distinguishes it from other Frames are its class and its
*     Domain attribute value. The class of a Frame cannot be changed, but we
*     could in principle use two different Domain values to distinguish the
*     two SkyFrames. However, in practice it is not uncommon for application
*     software to assume that SkyFrames will have the default Domain value
*     of "SKY". That is, instead of searching for Frames that have a class
*     of "SkyFrame", such software searches for Frames that have a Domain
*     of "SKY". To alleviate this problem, it is possible to add a single
*     SkyFrame to the FrameSet, but specifying two alternate Mappings to
*     use with the SkyFrame. Setting the "Variant" attribute to the name
*     of one or the other of these alternate Mappings will cause the
*     SkyFrame to be remapped within the FrameSet so that it uses the
*     specified Mapping. The same facility can be used with any class of
*     Frame, not just SkyFrames.
*
*     To use this facility, the Frame should first be added to the
*     FrameSet in the usual manner using the
c     astAddFrame method. By default, the Mapping supplied to astAddFrame
f     AST_ADDFRAME method. By default, the Mapping supplied to AST_ADDVARIANT
*     is assigned a name equal to the Domain name of the Frame. To assign a
*     different name to it, the
c     astAddVariant
f     AST_ADDVARIANT
*     method should then be called specifying the required name and a NULL
*     Mapping. The
c     astAddVariant
f     AST_ADDVARIANT
*     method should then be called repeatedly to add each required extra
*     Mapping to the current Frame, supplying a unique name for each one.
*
*     Each Frame in a FrameSet can have its own set of variant Mappings.
*     To control the Mappings in use with a specific Frame, you need first
*     to make it the current Frame in the FrameSet.
*
*     The
c     astMirrorVariants function
f     AST_MIRRORVARIANTS routine
*     allows the effects of variant Mappings associated with a nominated
*     Frame to be propagated to other Frames in the FrameSet.
*
*     Once this has been done, setting a new value for the "Variant"
*     attribute of a FrameSet will cause the current Frame in the
*     FrameSet to be remapped to use the specified variant Mapping. An
*     error will be reported if the current Frame has no variant Mapping
*     with the supplied name.
*
*     Getting the value of the "Variant" attribute will return the name
*     of the variant Mapping currently in use with the current Frame. If
*     the Frame has no variant Mappings, the value will default to the
*     Domain name of the current Frame.
*
*     Clearing the "Variant" attribute will have the effect of removing
*     all variant Mappings (except for the currently selected Mapping) from
*     the current Frame.
*
*     Testing the "Variant" attribute will return
c     a non-zero value
f     .TRUE.
*     if the current Frame contains any variant Mappings, and
c     zero
f     .FALSE.
*     otherwise.
*
*     A complete list of the names associated with all the available
*     variant Mappings in the current Frame can be obtained from the
*     AllVariants attribute.
*
*     If a Frame with variant Mappings is remapped using the
c     astRemapFrame
f     AST_REMAPFRAME
*     method, the currently selected variant Mapping is used by
c     astRemapFrame
f     AST_REMAPFRAME
*     and the other variant Mappings are removed from the Frame.

*  Applicability:
*     FrameSet
*        All FrameSets have this attribute.

*+

*     Create a FrameSet.

*  Type:
*     Protected function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "frameset.h"
*     AstFrameSet *astFrameSet( AstFrame *frame, const char *options, int *status, ... )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet constructor.

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new FrameSet and optionally initialises
*     its attributes.

*  Parameters:
*     frame
*        Pointer to the initial Frame. If this is not a FrameSet, the
*        new FrameSet will be initialised to contain this Frame alone.
*
*        If it is a FrameSet, the new FrameSet will be initialised to
*        contain the same Frames (and Mappings) and to have the same
*        attribute values as the one supplied. This is similar to
*        making a copy, except that the Frames (and Mappings)
*        contained in the original FrameSet are not themselves copied,
*        but are shared by both FrameSets.
*     options
*        Pointer to a null terminated string containing an optional
*        comma-separated list of attribute assignments to be used for
*        initialising the new FrameSet. The syntax used is the same as
*        for the astSet method and may include "printf" format
*        specifiers identified by "%" symbols in the normal way.
*     status
*        Pointer to the inherited status variable.
*     ...
*        If the "options" string contains "%" format specifiers, then
*        an optional list of arguments may follow it in order to
*        supply values to be substituted for these specifiers. The
*        rules for supplying these are identical to those for the
*        astSet method (and for the C "printf" function).

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new FrameSet.

*  Notes:
*     - A NULL pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.
*-

*  Implementation Notes:
*     - This function implements the basic FrameSet constructor which
*     is available via the protected interface to the FrameSet class.
*     A public interface is provided by the astFrameSetId_ function.
*     - Because this function has a variable argument list, it is
*     invoked by a macro that evaluates to a function pointer (not a
*     function invocation) and no checking or casting of arguments is
*     performed before the function is invoked. Because of this, the
*     "frame" parameter is of type (void *) and is converted and
*     validated within the function itself.

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet initialiser.

*  Description:
*     This function is provided for use by class implementations to
*     initialise a new FrameSet object. It allocates memory (if
*     necessary) to accommodate the FrameSet plus any additional data
*     associated with the derived class.  It then initialises a
*     FrameSet structure at the start of this memory. If the "init"
*     flag is set, it also initialises the contents of a virtual
*     function table for a FrameSet at the start of the memory passed
*     via the "vtab" parameter.

*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory in which the FrameSet is to be
*        created. This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the
*        FrameSet data (sizeof(FrameSet)) plus any data used by the
*        derived class. If a value of NULL is given, this function
*        will allocate the memory itself using the "size" parameter to
*        determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the FrameSet (plus derived class
*        data).  This will be used to allocate memory if a value of
*        NULL is given for the "mem" parameter. This value is also
*        stored in the FrameSet structure, so a valid value must be
*        supplied even if not required for allocating memory.
*     init
*        A logical flag indicating if the FrameSet's virtual function
*        table is to be initialised. If this value is non-zero, the
*        virtual function table will be initialised by this function.
*     vtab
*        Pointer to the start of the virtual function table to be
*        associated with the new FrameSet.
*     name
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which
*        contains the name of the class to which the new object
*        belongs (it is this pointer value that will subsequently be
*        returned by the astGetClass method).
*     frame
*        Pointer to the initial Frame (or FrameSet).

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new FrameSet.

*  Notes:
*     - A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any

*  Purpose:
*     Load a FrameSet.

*  Type:
*     Protected function.

*     AstFrameSet *astLoadFrameSet( void *mem, size_t size,
*                                   AstFrameSetVtab *vtab, const char *name,
*                                   AstChannel *channel )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet loader.

*  Description:
*     This function is provided to load a new FrameSet using data read
*     from a Channel. It first loads the data used by the parent class
*     (which allocates memory if necessary) and then initialises a
*     FrameSet structure in this memory, using data read from the
*     input Channel.

*  Parameters:
*     mem
*        A pointer to the memory into which the FrameSet is to be
*        loaded.  This must be of sufficient size to accommodate the
*        FrameSet data (sizeof(FrameSet)) plus any data used by
*        derived classes. If a value of NULL is given, this function
*        will allocate the memory itself using the "size" parameter to
*        determine its size.
*     size
*        The amount of memory used by the FrameSet (plus derived class
*        data).  This will be used to allocate memory if a value of
*        NULL is given for the "mem" parameter. This value is also
*        stored in the FrameSet structure, so a valid value must be
*        supplied even if not required for allocating memory.
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "size" value is ignored
*        and sizeof(AstFrameSet) is used instead.
*     vtab
*        Pointer to the start of the virtual function table to be
*        associated with the new FrameSet. If this is NULL, a pointer
*        to the (static) virtual function table for the FrameSet class
*        is used instead.
*     name
*        Pointer to a constant null-terminated character string which
*        contains the name of the class to which the new object
*        belongs (it is this pointer value that will subsequently be
*        returned by the astGetClass method).
*
*        If the "vtab" parameter is NULL, the "name" value is ignored
*        and a pointer to the string "FrameSet" is used instead.

*  Returned Value:
*     A pointer to the new FrameSet.

*  Notes:
*     - A null pointer will be returned if this function is invoked
*     with the global error status set, or if it should fail for any
*     reason.

*  Name:
c     astFrameSet
f     AST_FRAMESET

*  Purpose:
*     Create a FrameSet.

*  Type:
*     Public function.

*  Synopsis:
c     #include "frameset.h"
c     AstFrameSet *astFrameSet( AstFrame *frame, const char *options, ... )
f     RESULT = AST_FRAMESET( FRAME, OPTIONS, STATUS )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet constructor.

*  Description:
*     This function creates a new FrameSet and optionally initialises
*     its attributes.
*
*     A FrameSet consists of a set of one or more Frames (which
*     describe coordinate systems), connected together by Mappings
*     (which describe how the coordinate systems are inter-related). A
*     FrameSet makes it possible to obtain a Mapping between any pair
*     of these Frames (i.e. to convert between any of the coordinate
*     systems which it describes).  The individual Frames are
*     identified within the FrameSet by an integer index, with Frames
*     being numbered consecutively from one as they are added to the
*     FrameSet.
*
*     Every FrameSet has a "base" Frame and a "current" Frame (which
*     are allowed to be the same). Any of the Frames may be nominated
*     to hold these positions, and the choice is determined by the
*     values of the FrameSet's Base and Current attributes, which hold
*     the indices of the relevant Frames.  By default, the first Frame
*     added to a FrameSet is its base Frame, and the last one added is
*     its current Frame.
*
*     The base Frame describes the "native" coordinate system of
*     whatever the FrameSet is used to calibrate (e.g. the pixel
*     coordinates of an image) and the current Frame describes the
*     "apparent" coordinate system in which it should be viewed
*     (e.g. displayed, etc.). Any further Frames represent a library
*     of alternative coordinate systems, which may be selected by
*     making them current.
*
*     When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Frame,
*     (e.g. obtaining its Title value, or number of axes), the current
*     Frame is used. A FrameSet may therefore be used in place of its
*     current Frame in most situations.
*
*     When a FrameSet is used in a context that requires a Mapping,
*     the Mapping used is the one between its base Frame and its
*     current Frame. Thus, a FrameSet may be used to convert "native"
*     coordinates into "apparent" ones, and vice versa. Like any
c     Mapping, a FrameSet may also be inverted (see astInvert), which
f     Mapping, a FrameSet may also be inverted (see AST_INVERT), which
*     has the effect of interchanging its base and current Frames and
*     hence of reversing the Mapping between them.
*
*     Regions may be added into a FrameSet (since a Region is a type of
*     Frame), either explicitly or as components within CmpFrames. In this
*     case the Mapping between a pair of Frames within a FrameSet will
*     include the effects of the clipping produced by any Regions included
*     in the path between the Frames.

*  Parameters:
c     frame
f     FRAME = INTEGER (Given)
*        Pointer to the first Frame to be inserted into the
*        FrameSet. This initially becomes both the base and the
*        current Frame. (Further Frames may be added using the
c        astAddFrame function.)
f        AST_ADDFRAME routine.)
c     options
f     OPTIONS = CHARACTER * ( * ) (Given)
c        Pointer to a null-terminated string containing an optional
c        comma-separated list of attribute assignments to be used for
c        initialising the new FrameSet. The syntax used is identical to
c        that for the astSet function and may include "printf" format
c        specifiers identified by "%" symbols in the normal way.
c        If no initialisation is required, a zero-length string may be
c        supplied.
f        A character string containing an optional comma-separated
f        list of attribute assignments to be used for initialising the
f        new FrameSet. The syntax used is identical to that for the
f        AST_SET routine. If no initialisation is required, a blank
f        value may be supplied.
c     ...
c        If the "options" string contains "%" format specifiers, then
c        an optional list of additional arguments may follow it in
c        order to supply values to be substituted for these
c        specifiers. The rules for supplying these are identical to

*        A pointer to the new FrameSet.

*  Notes:
c     - If a pointer to an existing FrameSet is given for the "frame"
c     parameter, then the new FrameSet will (as a special case) be
f     - If a pointer to an existing FrameSet is given for the FRAME
f     argument, then the new FrameSet will (as a special case) be
*     initialised to contain the same Frames and Mappings, and to have
*     the same attribute values, as the one supplied. This process is
c     similar to making a copy of a FrameSet (see astCopy), except
f     similar to making a copy of a FrameSet (see AST_COPY), except
*     that the Frames and Mappings contained in the original are not
*     themselves copied, but are shared by both FrameSets.
*     - A null Object pointer (AST__NULL) will be returned if this
c     function is invoked with the AST error status set, or if it
f     function is invoked with STATUS set to an error value, or if it
*     should fail for any reason.
*--

*  Implementation Notes:
*     - This function implements the external (public) interface to
*     the astFrameSet constructor function. It returns an ID value
*     (instead of a true C pointer) to external users, and must be
*     provided because astFrameSet_ has a variable argument list which
*     cannot be encapsulated in a macro (where this conversion would
*     otherwise occur).
*     - Because no checking or casting of arguments is performed
*     before the function is invoked, the "frame" parameter is of type
*     (void *) and is converted from an ID value to a pointer and
*     validated within the function itself.
*     - The variable argument list also prevents this function from
*     invoking astFrameSet_ directly, so it must be a
*     re-implementation of it in all respects, except for the
*     conversions between IDs and pointers on input/output of Objects.

*  Name:
*     astGetNode

*  Purpose:
*     Get information about a single node in a FrameSet tree.

*  Type:
*     Protected virtual function.

*  Synopsis:
*     #include "frameset.h"
*     int astGetNode( AstFrameSet *this, int inode, int *nnodes,
*                     int *iframe, AstMapping **map, int *parent )

*  Class Membership:
*     FrameSet method.

*  Description:
*     This function returns information about a specified node in a
*     FrameSet. It is documented as protected, because it should not
*     be used in general purpose software since it depends on the internal
*     details of the FrameSet class.  However, it is in fact public so that
*     it can be used in external software that needs to know about the
*     internal structure of a FrameSet (for instance, a graphical FrameSet
*     visualisation system).

*  Parameters:
*     this
*        Pointer to the FrameSet.
*     inode
*        The zero-based index of the required node.
*     nnodes
*        Address of an int returned holding the number of nodes defined
*        in the FrameSet.
*     frame
*        Address of a Frame pointer returned holding a pointer to a deep
*        copy of the Frame, if any, associated with the node. NULL
*        is returned if the node has no Frame.
*     map
*        Address of a Mapping pointer returned holding a pointer to a
*        deep copy of the Mapping, if any, from the parent node to the
*        requested node. NULL is returned if the node has no parent.
*     parent
*        Address of an int returned holding the zero-based index of the
*        node from which the requested node is derived. -1 is returned if
*        the requested node has no parent (i.e. is the root of the tree).

*  Returned Value:
*     A non-zero value is returned if the "inode" value is within bounds.
*     Otherwise, zero is returned.
