Using MathMaps
A MathMap is an AST Object which contains a recipe for
transforming positions from one co-ordinate Frame to another and
(optionally) back again. These transformations are specified using
arithmetic operations and mathematical functions similar to those
available in Fortran. WCSADD can be used to create a
MathMap and store it in a text file, and such text files can then be used
by applications such as REGRID which require a mapping.
