It is in the range -pi to +pi. The ** sense is such that if b is a small distance "north" of a the ** position angle is approximately zero, and if b is a small ** distance "east" of a the position angle is approximately +pi/2. ** ** 2) The vectors a and b need not be of unit length. ** ** 3) Zero is returned if the two directions are the same or if either ** vector is null. ** ** 4) If vector a is at a pole, the result is ill-defined. ** ** Called: ** iauPn decompose p-vector into modulus and direction ** iauPm modulus of p-vector ** iauPxp vector product of two p-vectors ** iauPmp p-vector minus p-vector ** iauPdp scalar product of two p-vectors ** ** This revision: 2013 June 18 ** ** SOFA release 2013-12-02 ** ** Copyright (C) 2013 IAU SOFA Board.
